Blog on break

We’re moving! To another country! I’m already stressing and I’ve done this more times than the average bear. Customs forms, statutory declarations, inventory checklists, insurance brochures. You’d think I’d have everything down pat by now, but every country has its own forms and procedures. Here is one area where the United Nations could really help out (after all, they standardised airline luggage and routing requirements, and the international postal system), but I doubt it’s going to happen in my lifetime. So, in the meantime, I’m buried in that pile of photocopied paper over in the corner there.

With this — and my always doubtful sanity — in mind, Fusion Despatches will be on hiatus for a week and a half. If everything goes to plan (cue maniacal laughter), I should be back on Wednesday, 18 June, in time to post Chapter Seven of War Games. Apologies to regular readers for any inconvenience.

You want to know the really sad bit? I’m already trying to talk J into moving to a different country in a few years’ time. He laughs and walks away, but I think I’m slowly wearing him down. ;)

    Oh, you are cruel to bring up moving WHILE you’re moving. LOL.

    Hope everything goes smoothly. Don’t forget to shut off the lights. :o)

    Good luck!

    Where to this time, hon?

    (yes, I know, I haven’t commented in forever, but I’ve been lurking and reading while feeding the bub. He just makes it difficult to TYPE.)

    Hope it all goes well.

    Y’know, M, there’s that niggling feeling that I’ve forgotten *something*. Not so bad if you’re moving across town, but when you know you — and your stuff — are going to be crossing multiple Customs & Immigration lines, it certainly adds to the stress.

    Dayna! Sweetie! Hope the bub’s giving you enough time to have some rest … while you concentrate on the other members of your brood. We’re moving to Malaysia. Good food, friendly people, nice weather and kick-ass beaches. Hope we’ll find enough time to enjoy them! LOL
