Craziness here these past few weeks – new housing rules being implemented, then retracted for a time, cameras on every floor of our housing and in the elevators at school, new rules about sick leave and what we can and cannot do in and to our apartments – all kinds of stress happening at the start of the school year.
Fortunately, things have calmed down, positions carved in stone have softened and people can breathe again.
The big push is on now to get Jordan a job, since the back has healed and the chaos surrounding the rest of our lives has calmed. Decisions also have to be made about trips this year and options for next year. My trip to Turkey has morphed into a trip to Sri Lanka – aka Ceylon. My Christmas with the Ottomans has changed to my Christmas with the Buddhists.
In a few weeks, pay checks will reflect the new raise, and Jordan’s health insurance premiums have gone down (proving this is so not America.)
Football news to report – Pitt in the ACC and the Steelers have to avoid turning over ye ole football. Next for Pitt – Notre Dame, where the new high school principal went to school. I have permission from my principal to wear my Pitt shirt if we win – lovely woman.
There are some special education schools here in Kuwait, even here in beautiful Hawally, I will be checking out for various reasons as well.
Lots of little things this week and, thankfully, nothing dramatic from Kuwait. We all spent the weekend recovering from a, shall we say challenging, start to the school year.
Quiet is good.
