You're kidding, right?

Ah, never a dull moment in this household. Monday was trial day at day care. I cried, no one else did. I'm beginning to think DG didn't even notice I was gone, or if she did, it didn't bother her! I had to ask for a hug when I picked her up, and she was in no rush to leave. Today was the same thing, but worse. I was actually told to "wait minute. Nah playing game" Really? Sigh.... I should be ecstatic, she's adjusted way better, and faster, than I ever imagined. She did cry today...when I told her that we had to go home...after 15 min of trying to convince her of it...awesome. Seriously, it's gone heaps better than I could have dreamed and I am glad we found a good place for her.

Monday I was getting lots of texts from Dave, trying to keep my spirits up, and mid morning it was "95% certain" that we were moving to Australia. By dinner it was up to 98%. Still waiting on that phone call from HR. Still, without that last 2% I can't tell my local friends (who know nothing about this blog). I must say, I am impressed with my ability to keep my mouth shut! The phone call should be coming in a few days, I'm looking forward to seeing what it includes.

Monday I also got an email attachment from another pet relocation organization. This was 8 pages of instructions for getting Bay into Oz, and oh my! As I was reading the steps and timeline to Dave I think he finally got it. I wasn't just freaking out for no reason, there is a lot to do to get her over there. Miss a step, do one out of order, and it means either a longer quarantine or denied entry! Today was a call to the vet to make sure that Bay was caught up on her vaccinations; there was one particular one that didn't ring a bell and had to be done no less than 6 months prior to entry into Australia. Guess which one she doesn't have? Oh, and guess which one is a 2 part vaccination, 30 days apart? Yeah.......... Looks like we won't be able to get her over there before mid-October! So much for leaving in August! Make me kind of want to wait until after DG's birthday to go over there though, so she can celebrate it here with her friends. Shoot, I could do this all day until I make it so that we're not moving over there for another year!

And so it begins. I am mostly done with the roller coaster of emotions that have come with this transfer. Hmmmm, on second thought, I think I have perfected pushing them down and ignoring them. I haven't told my friends, haven't cried with them, so it's not really happening, right? I have been grateful for day care this week, it would have been a lot harder to get all the phone calls and errands done with DG in tow.

Trippy. This week has been very trippy.
