Just a quick update to say that I'm alive and pretty much over my cold, just in the occasional-sneeze-or-cough-and-ears-still-blocking-up phase. It's good. But it rained all night and it's threatening to rain again which means the kids & me are stuck indoors. It's half term holidays so there's no school - it's a shame we can't be out and about! Exploring the town!
I got out the handful of books I brought over and I put them on display on the shelf under the TV. It has made so much difference - my room feels more like a room. I cosied it up some more by moving the furniture closer to my bed and I'm beginning the decorating stage. Paper craft!! Just need to dig up the sewing machine in the attic and buy some blue tac and I'm set. I hope.
Oh it just started raining.

The plot gets a move on!
I've got a visa! At least, it will be in the mail in the next few days. Thank goodness. I've been dreaming about it lately. Nightmares. So I'm glad it's all clear: Folks, I'll be going to England!
I did a practice pack today. I thought to myself - what the heck? I need to know how much I can fit in a suitcase anyway. There's another garbage bag full of clothes for Salvos (third one this year) and an even bigger pile called 'Undecided.' And you know what? I got excited. It was nice. For ages I've just had stress and worry and a bit of panic (not really like me, but I've never uprooted my life to plonk it on the other side of the world before). But thinking about unpacking to a new room and meeting the family actually made me look forward to going.
I wish I had a specific time - immovable, solid. If I had just one dollar for every time I've been asked "when are you leaving?..." I would be quite a few dollars richer. But now that I know my visa is on the way I can make flight arrangements... at least, I can give the agency the go-ahead to make my flight arrangements.
Now I'm just sealing up the boxes of stuff that's staying, and deciding whether taking my paper confetti bunting to England is a bit weird. The other thing I have to find out is... Can I take knitting needles on the plane?
Ew gross! Two mating flies just landed on my track pad. Ugggh.
