Finally!

Finally things are getting done around here. I am a bit lax in the “help my son” department but I am doing better in the “getting things off my to-do list” department.

Deciding my next career move is a bit tricky on the international teaching circuit. Not only do you switch schools, you switch homes, even if you stay in the country. What you do not do is switch banks, and doctors and cable companies. Those are huge pluses. You also keep at least some of your friends, and not just on Facebook.

I am also facing that looming big 6-0 birthday next year. It is both liberating and motivating. I have already planned the big trip. I will finally get to London, and Paris and Austria and back to Greece. But that is next year. For now it is the examination of my finances, clear up any debt I may, or may not have (you never know in this day and age,) and see how much my son is going to have to support me with in my old – as in 90 – age.

This should be a great week. I will make that final school decision (I hope.) I have a student who qualifies for Mensa and the Mensa people are going to look at his test results so we should get good news on that front. My son continues to do odd computer jobs around the building and the cool weather in Kuwait continues. Alas, not for long. The heat should start returning in a few weeks.

Winter is the best time, weather wise, to be in the desert.
