Well, it's sure not winter here. Not exactly summer either. But that's beside the point.
Dance let us down, Auckland was not quite It either.....
In a few days we'll have been a month in 'Welly' and (as I hear someone blaring CCR's House of the Rising Sun), and it's high time the dam broke. It's been tough-really tough. Tough of course in ways unforseen. Windy, lonely, and windier.
But now it seems a cusp is afoot. We're undergoing medical exams. Armed with x-rays. Undergone the roughly six weeks of cellular recombination and Kiwi roughage that makes a new person. We have contacts, a bank account, a coffee press and even friends. This is weird!
After weeks of walls, walls, walls. It appears that things may evolve. Bets has her choice in IT. Suitors are clamoring. In the next few days, she can make a choice on her career here in NZ, and we should land an apartment. This would automatically award her a work visa, begin Jesse's work visa award from Immigration, and preclude our address! Cowabunga!
There are alot of good reasons why this should take place. The fact that everyone takes off for the summer here, especially before Xmas, but likes to get something done beforehand. The fact that IT is in demand. The fact that we have worked so hard, for weeks, against a steep learning curve. The fact that we've had help and advice from really good people since here. And the fact that we had so much support from friends and family in the States.
In the interest of avoiding a jinx, I'll stop short of predicting success. But for the first moment in quite awhile, it looks rather dandy.
Regards,
J

I finally looked at a piece of mail that's been sitting for weeks in my "new" collection, and found it was instructions on how I could catch up with Rue a Nation. SBC and I had parted company, thus bringing down the azoptxalatan email address. Bloggers Anonymous had written to tell me how I could stay with R a N.
I'm eager to hear more about progress from you pilgrims. Things were loking promising almost two weeks ago. How're the fates treating you now? Our child is wandering around China. School finished for her. She's done three towns in four days, and is in Harbin, as I input. She thinks she's too early for the finished sculptures. We'll see. tom
