Short Update

No, we haven't moved yet, and we haven't closed on our house here in California yet. Sigh. We've extended to closing date to later this month, and with a little bit of luck (I need to burn some sage or something, maybe wave a chicken around my head) things will work out. It sounds like we'll be able to extend our closing date (again) in Bend, but we haven't yet formally submitted an addendum to do so.

Burger has started high school here and missed the first day of school; she was happy to get to go to school with her friends, but is not looking forward to being the new kid part-way through the school year. Again. I hope we'll be able to get up there before too much time passes, because it does suck coming into a new school when everything is already established (and by everything, I mean the social order of the school, which is of the utmost importance for teenagers).

Zippy, luckily, is going with the flow. She asks about moving every day, and we just try to keep positive, even though we're still unsure as to what the future holds. It'll all work out in the end. It'll all work out. (If I keep repeating that, it must be true. Right?)

I think, with inflation and all, your plans may not be sufficient. Instead of a chicken, you may need to wave a turkey around your head. ;)

A turkey it is! I can deep fry it when I'm done!

We moved to Bend 5 or 6 weeks into K's freshman year, and she was terrified to be the new kid. By the end of the first week, she'd made lots of friends and couldn't imagine going back to her old high school.

Thanks, Wendy - that's very comforting to know!! We're still without firm plans, and it's driving us crazy! I hope we'll know more soon.
