When are you leaving? Are you packing yet? Can you come to Atlanta for Xmas? What are your sons going to do? Aren't the French jerks? Why aren't you taking a car? Why would you want to leave here? Aren't their hospitals dirty? Don't they hate Americans? Do they speak English?
The questions just go on and on.....*
And we're trying to get ready for Christmas too which seems to me a bit of an anti-climax this year as there's so much that "seems" to need to be done but then again, very few decisions about when we move and where we'll move to in Paris depends on when Cassie gets her work visa that she'll need to pick up in Washington, D.C., at the French Embassy when it's ready. Who knows when it'll be ready......
I've been steadily reducing the clutter in my studio giving 2 keyboards away to Goodwill and other things away from my collection of clothes. All of our CDs go to our neighbor Paul for safekeeping while we're gone and the 42 inch plasma TV and 5.1 surround system goes to Tray and Joann.
It's sort of easy to feel overwhelmed when there's actually nothing happening yet at least it's easy for others in the house. I'm not sweating it yet but I think Cassie is pretty tense about it....
Will attempt to pour some extra wine for her tonight.
Tomorrow morning our oldest cat Nelliebelle heads to the Vet for a biopsy on a growth that's under her left eyelid. She's going to be very unhappy. There have been hints that it might be cancer but I hope it isn't. Nelliebelle has been part of the crew since 1999 and when she was brought in to kick ass with our mouse population in our old Sioux City home which she did in spades. I think the score was Nellibelle 38 and the mice nothing......... She's been an integral part of our family ever since and we plan on taking her and our other cat Gracie Mae on the plane to Paris which will more than likely be another long and probably very funny entry here when it goes down.
I haven't mentioned yet that the twins have NEVER flown before and the flight will be around 9 hours long albeit in "business class" which should help a bit. Needless to say there may be good drugs in store for all concerned meaning the cats and twins. That too will be a blog entry of epic proportions when it goes down.
More tomorrow when I can get to a computer.
Cheers!
Sid
