I picked up my passport today, complete with immigrant visa. Wow, OK, now I'm excited. I get to go home to my husband! YES!! I want to laugh, and cry, and sigh in relief that this part of the journey, 14 months in the traveling, is now over.
I started the next phase of the journey, which will be much shorter, by handing in my resignation today. I have resigned from five jobs in my career to date, and this was the only one I ever regretted handing in. All my other jobs I knew it was time to walk away, for one reason or another. This one...it will be hard to go. I have been learning, it is a good team, and they have all expressed happiness for me, but it only makes it harder to leave them, seeing them so happy for me although I leave them.
The next 5 weeks will be concentrated around packing up and getting ready to move back to Westmoreland. There's not much to pack up, but what there is needs to be boxed up and wrapped up where necessary. They have things arranged on that side, my Mom and brother, so it's just for me to be ready for them when they get here. Next week I give notice to my landlord and the utility companies, and purchase wrapping and maybe get some boxes for my books. Or maybe one of those barrels...if one can be had this side of the Atlantic, LOL.
Once back in Westmoreland, it's a week and a half to spend with Mom, just be at home, and then off to be with G. Wow, OK, I'm excited!!
