For the doggy to eat it? No way When it wants to rest, it goes lie down in its half of a nutshell It loves it there

was away for the weekend and my internet doesn't work at home at the mo, so had a lot of catching up to do but...

Jeraly, I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. I still don't know when I am going to be finishing my job. It changes every week. We don't know how we are going to do in LA, and I find that very scary. I was thinking the other day that after we get our stuff packed and all, we could go for a nice long visit to Ireland before the move. Then I realised that we may as well fly from there, because our flat here would be no more. Panic!!! London, no longer where we live I had sort of thought of, but we won't have a flat here?? Ohhh. Somehow that part I had forgotten about.

I keep looking around and getting extremly overwhelmed with all the stuff in our flat. What to take and not take. What would even be appropriate to have??? I have no idea of what the new apartment will be like, if it'll be furnished. If we'll get jobs quickly, or have to eek out our savings for as long as we can. It's all so overwhelming.

I think that the worst part is going about your daily life constantly thinking, will I still do this or that over there? Will I find people to go to the pub with, will there even be a pub to go to?

The only way that I can deal with it, is to think about the fact that when I do get triple homesick (the town I grew up in, Dublin and London) these are the things that I'll be missing. So I should really do my best to enjoy them while i'm still in it. Now that the weather is nice, I'm beginning to be glad that I'll be here for the summer, and planning to do lots of nice things and take loads of pictures of my last couple of months this side of the Atlantic.

I wish wish wish that I could go over there, rent an apartment, get a job, set up all the bank accounts, cars, insurance and all that business, and then come back and enjoy my last while here without the stress looming over me. But it just doesn't work that way. So I have to think of how I will feel after I move. All the things I will miss, and want to have done. And do them now.

well that's actually my second rant of the day.

StP - Hope Dave is all better!!

Does anyone know what happened to Mox? He seems to be MIA too.

Does anyone know what happened to Mox? He seems to be MIA too.

Last I heard he was really busy with work and doesn't have time for us right now.

Aw poo. He's funny. Isn't his interview later this month?

Good luck with your house Julez. I bet you are happy to have all that wallpaper-tearing done.

And Poiteen, I enjoyed your post. I could relate to some of it from when I moved to Canada a few years ago. Part of what sucks is the taking care of all of life's details when what you really need to be doing is normal stuff (like going to the bar with friends). But I really think it helps a tremendous deal just being aware of these things, walking into this hugely new situation with your eyes open. So to you, to Aly, to everybody moving, you know there will be parts that are hard, but it will get easier, and it will all be worth it.

Yeah, right after we establish the rights of Serbia and Montenegro here, McCain starts with this

oh and rae: hillarious irony took place on my way home from work last nite...i was walking down lexington, to the train station, and all of a sudden i hear an abrupt 'ohhhh heyyy!!!'...like not a greeting, but more like a 'watch out!' kinda thing...i look over, and had he not yelled, i would have been run over by a bike messenger i immediately thought of you

My RFE turned out to be pretty painless in the end. I received it on Monday, mailed off what they asked for yesterday and it arrived at USCIS today. So it's back to the waiting game now and hopefully it won't have slowed things up too much.

He has been in Colorado visiting his kids as well but I haven't heard from him much

Wow, just looked at your ticker Aly, you really don't have long now, the time will fly by, I promise. Especially after Jeramy gets here.

If I understand it right, Mr and Mrs Pointeen are living together and they will also be moving together. If that´s true it sounds even more complicated than all the rest of us have it. The rest of us usually: one person is settled somewhere so the other person has at least somewhere to move to.

Special hugs to all of you, who still have the big move ahead of you (even if it´s just from state to state)

Yeah RFEs can usually be dealt with fast and it usually doesn´t slow things down Unless some people don´t know how to deal with it and it takes them ages which wasn´t your case

Do people in NYC have to wear helmets while walking in the streets?
