Life is about to go from a relative calm to frenzied. And I'm doing a happy dance!!
Just moved to the top of my to-do list: Prepare to Move Overseas
(Short pause for another Happy Dance!)
"Moving abroad" is a term that sounds pretentious to me. Anyway, it is more than just "abroad" (into another country), we are going over seas to another continent. And, if you type abroad too many time it just starts to look weird: abroad abroad abroad a-bro-ad...
(Happy Dance moment!)
Even more accurately, I am preparing to PCS OCONUS. There's a collection of incomprehensible jumbled capital letters for ya. The phrase "moving overseas" sounds like it consists of much less paperwork and red tape than a military move.
(Still Happy Dancing! Reams of paperwork, you can not get me down!)
A few other things on the To-Do List, which at this point should really just be called my List of Lists:
Official Paperwork:
Passports
Powers of Attorney
Medical and dental records
Forwarding address
The House:
Get an inspection
Hire a realtor
Put the house on the market
SELL HOUSE!!!
The Cars:
Arrange for shipment of car
Sell second car
Pets:
Give away fish (That doesn't mean flush. Honest!)
Vet appointments for dogs/shots/paperwork
Travel arrangements for dogs
The Stuff:
Sort All Belongings. ALL belongings. Everything!
Misc stuff:
Find a new place to live
Schools for the kids
Study for the driving test
International Drivers Permit so I can get lots of use out of this:
(Happy Dance! Happy Dance! Happy Dance!)
