So, on the move front, moving right along! Tickets home, tickets to house hunt, temporary medical insurance sourced and paid for, looking online for cars, and outlining our strategy for getting all of it done in a few weeks before we need to BE in New Mexico! Lots of online paperwork for customs (most can be done once we get to Boise) and doing the detailed inventory for the insurance coverage for our big metal box containing nearly everything we own. Daunting, but having done before, no big whoop. I did laugh as the relocation company has me working with a new agent-we are her first move! She is being closely helped by another associate, but at this point, I know more than she does about the papers and where to find the answers. I really need to look at this line of work if I get tired of teaching! Bet they would let me work from wherever we live too. . .
On the not move front, life continues to march onward. We have taken a few farewell visits to our favorite places around Brisbane. Headed back to Australia Zoo a couple of weeks ago. Those were our beginning of the plague weeks apparently. Alex told me she had a headache and felt blech. We went anyway and she was ok-ish. She begged off the next day when we went to a friend's house for a BBQ, but was ok to go to school on Monday. I then began to feel a sore throat and headache-ugh. Meds and tough it out. I've done this before, right? Then Annika got it really good and stayed home with daddy Friday and me Monday. Then she started to complain of her chest hurting too-into the doc first thing Tuesday and yep, lung infection. Then Ian starts in with it-chesty cough and lethargic. He is not a lethargic kid! Slept on the couch and a sick day with daddy. He also got antibiotics to fight the lung infection. Middle of last week Lyle crashed with it too. Except he was in Newcastle and wearing a work respirator, which really made it hard to breathe! He got home Thursday and crashed out. Fever all weekend, and about the time he started to feel a bit better, the lungs got in on it too. Into the Doc for him first thing Monday (I now have the office on my favorite list in my phone) and antibiotics. I pick Annika and Ian up Monday and she is in tears! Her ear has gone nuts. Call up the favorites list while waiting in traffic on the speaker phone, the receptionist is laughing at me, and-miracle! One of the office doctors had a cancellation and can I have her there in 15 minutes? Oh, yes! More antibiotics. Lyle went in today to get his computer and came right home. He is still fuzzy in the head, but improving well. The kids are all sniffling, but back to their normal selves. Goodness, I hope we are done with being sick for awhile!
We are also going to Sydney for a few days before we go! Hooray! I will get to see the Opera House, cruise the bay, wander the downtown and the gardens, and we will try very hard to RELAX before it all hits the fan the following week.
I'm also tentatively planning on a friends get together while we are in Nampa as well. Seeing as we missed all of you on our whirl of a trip a couple of months ago and would love to catch up! Look to your email inboxes or Facebook invites in a few weeks. It will be a Saturday in early October! Maybe we can cheer on the Vandals while we visit!
Love you all!
