Pre-emptive Suffering

3 days left in the U.S.!

I'm really feeling the sadness of leaving now that the busy cleanup period is complete, and we have time to slow down. Time to contemplate is killing me  - so many good goodbyes! It leaves me feeling unsure and questioning about making another heartbreaking move.

BUT ... a new life and adventure awaits. Who knows where it will lead? 

Our new Ioniq 5 is ready for us in the U.K. We'll pick it up on Tuesday, May 5 after we land and drive to our new home. We're currently staying in a friend's amazingly comfortable apartment across the lake from our home, which is now too clean to live in! Late last night, I remembered I had forgotten to clean the hand rail on the stairs - minor details that kept me from rest. Damn my perfectionism.
