It's about that time

[wayfaringwordhack]

 In a month and a half, the family and I shall haul those travelin' bags out once again and make another international move.  This time we are heading to (max 4 year stinit) Lebanon, a beautiful country, but perhaps not the easiest choice at this particular point in time.  Still, we are looking forward to this new adventure, and we have a lot to do to get ready for it still.  Something made less easy by the fact that the kiddos and I have caught ourselves a case of COVID.  I am almost completely over it, just a bit of coughing here and there and an occasional spell of lightheadedness, and my taste and smell have come back after less than a week gone.

I had plans for doing NaNo this year--doing that crazy "Oh, let me take on a huge challenge right before moving" thing that I do--but with the virus, I gracefully bowed myself out of any such shenanigans and will apply myself to writing at a more amenable time.

We have known about the move for quite some time now, but it has seemed to sneak up on us at last.  Wish us luck with squaring everything away in time.  Now if they would just let us know our official departure date. :P

I'm so sorry to hear you caught COVID! I hope you all recover without long-term effects.

May you all be safe and well and happy during your stint in Lebanon.

Thank you! I think I had a pretty easy time of the virus. I have had much worse bouts of flu and bronchitis.

Yikes! I was expecting this entry to be about the move, but I was not expecting the COVID! I'm sorry to hear it, but glad you're all on the mend.

So if my math isn't faulty (a huge assumption) does that mean you'll be heading off around New Year's?

Yes, J has to start work on Jan 1, so we'll leave within a couple of days of that date. :P

Happy New Year in a new country for us. :D

Good luck with your move!

I'm very sorry to hear you had Covid.

Thank you! *hugs*. I actually wanted to get COVID for the immunity and the travel papers it accords me, so all is well.
