I am blessed...

The paradoxes of a life....lies and beauty, grey skies and rainbows, the dull minutae of every day and magic.

Life is quickly changing. My uncle has decided it may be time for him to step up and come take care of Meme, his mother, my grandmother. This leaves me free to roam about the universe....

If everything goes the way Adam and I hope, we want to move to Scotland, but that is many, many months away with lots of things needing to happen in the interim. I'm so excited I want to dance all the time! :)

One of those things that has to happen "in the interim", if my uncle comes to care for Meme, is that very shortly after he comes I'll need to find a job, a cheap place to live, and save money. The UK will want to know that between Adam and I, I will be supported until I can find work in the UK.

We have lots to get through....a visit is the first thing. And if that goes as delightfully as we expect it to, we'll put the next part of the plan into place, which is to save enough money for several months so that I can move back to the UK and we can get the proper VISAS sorted out.

I have a couple of ideas about how to do that. One of them is to go to Breitenbush, which is a sort of hippie, green-friendly, vegetarian, hot springs resort and work there. All of the employees are paid minimum wage as well as provided room and board. And since it's remote, there's really no place to spend the money you earn, so it's easy to save.

Another possibility is to live cheaply here in my little podunk town, work and work and work until I have enough money saved. Either way, the plan is to be in Scotland before 2011. :)) What a wonderful adventure awaits!!! What a wonderful man I'm loving!!!

I am currently: falling in love
Listening to: the beating of my heart, and the recent past fading to dust.
