Just popping in for a minute and testing posting from my phone, which I've never had to do before. We're in temporary quarters at our new base. Very comfortable, but not like home, of course. Housing is a problem here and we're on a waiting list for quarters, but thankfully we did manage to find a place to live as we wait. Signed a lease yesterday. Huge relief. Our new place isn't available til late May, so we'll be hanging out in temporary quarters for a while yet.
Tiger Lily has been a trooper, as always, but this upheaval has been hard on her. She's been a bit sick but seems to be feeling better now. She's chomping away on her snacks as I type this (with my thumbs... on my phone... *sigh*).
We're all kinda wiped out but hopefully now that we have the pressure of finding a place to live relieved, we can relax a bit before the next stage of this move: getting our shipment and unpacking.
I haven't put in a stitch since early April. My brain has had two speeds over the last few weeks: "bag of squirrels" and "off". Not great for settling down to stitch. Maybe now I can.
Thank you for speeding us along with prayers and encouraging words. This has been a tough one, but I think we can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Also, if this phone posting thing works, I may be unstoppable. Stay tuned.
Happy to hear that you are slowly settling in. Hope everything g goes smoothly. Nice weather is well on its way so that should help! Hope you can stitch soon too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are inching closer to being in your new home. That must be very tough on everyone. Sure hope the next four weeks pass quickly! Take care now...
ReplyDeleteHail to thee, great phone poster...you are a real trooper and seem to be moving right along.
ReplyDeleteHope the final settling in goes without incident...but in the meantime, kick back and take in
the new scenery, new acquaintances and featured attractions. You will be picking up your
needle sooner than you think...good for the soul. Blessings ~
Honeybee: I cannot imagine how hard its s to move so many times during a career, Tiger Lily looks so peaceful.

I was happy to see your post and hear that you're starting to settle in a bit. I hope all goes smoothly, and you can all begin to rest and recover. I hope Tiger Lily continues to feel better and settle in and you'll be able to pick up a needle soon, too. Take care.

So glad to see your post. Poor Tiger Lily, Sweet 16 and has to be uprooted again. I hope she recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of the country are you in this time? Maybe we can arrange a meet-up.
How many years has DH been in? What is his goal? 20, 27, 30? Thank him for his service, and a big thank you and hug for being there for him.
