Making lists and researching possiblities.

[wayfaringwordhack]

We are 98% sure of our next destination.  If this next posting happens, my husband will start his new job Sept 1, leaving us less than a month at our home in France before moving again.  Two international (or "overseas") moves in the space of a month.  Call us masochists.  I guess.

Anyhow.  In preparation of the next step,* I have started making a packing list.  I have also started researching things like how easy is it to acquire art supplies at the next locale.  And to my great surprise, today I found that something shipped to me here in France cost 24 euro MORE than to our new address.  Color me chuffed.  I won't have to go crazy making sure I have every little thing before we leave.

I also researched taking our cat and found out that she will have to be given a monthly dose of medicine to keep her from contracting a disease from mosquito bites (that should give you a hint as to what kind of climate we will be dealing with).

In other packing and purchasing news, we successfully sold our pottery wheel, electric kiln, and raku kiln in Lebanon (YAY!), as well as lots of J's forging stuff.

* and "final" step, we hope, to retirement for J.

I understand, coming from someone who has moved waaay too much. Maybe next time I will have more notice and actually have the opportunity to hire movers.

Warning is nice! Sometimes you know too far in advance and don't take it seriously though until the last minute. Ahem, perhaps that is just Mrs Procrastination speaking....
