I've dropped the ball a bit on posting weekly as I had intended. I’ve lacked some motivation lately, as I was sick for a little while and am now working on becoming a functioning human being again. I managed to catch the flu for the first time in… I don’t even remember when I last …
There is so much involved in immigrating to a new country... duh, you knew that, I knew that, but really, it can be overwhelming nonetheless. I can say that I feel confident that all of my research prior to the move prepared me for the many things we'd need to do to start our lives …
