Good and not great
Today, I saw a hummingbird. That was awesome! Also, I ate tasty food and hung out with family. And I may have found a kind of noodles that I can eat ( Read more... ) -
Relaxing
Today was a more or less relaxed day. I am anxious about the applications, but there isn't much I can do about that. Mom has some plans to go to various parks in the area with us. We're pretty happy about that. -
Sent!
Yesterday, one relative who we are living with got in a car accident. Another relative was sick. However, we needed to get papers notarized, so between doctors and tow trucks, someone took us to get a bunch of different pages for the Portuguese visa applications notarized at the UPS store. The big files wouldn't print. We went home and tried to ( Read more... ) -
Almost There!
Yesterday, I think I had a migraine. In recent years (probably before that too, but I can't remember clearly), I have had throbbing, multi-day headaches on one side of my head that made me feel nauseous, which are associated with my hormonal cycle. It turns out that these may be migraines. Surprise! Yesterday, I spent most of the day in a dark room ( Read more... ) -
A Quick Visit
We visited New Jersey briefly yesterday and saw my aunt and uncle (siblings not married). My uncle is one of the coolest people when he is in a good mood, and he was in a good mood. I just love talking to him when he is like that. It was fantastic! It wasn't a long trip, but it is always nice to visit the town where I spent my teenage years. -

In other news, my mom took us to REI, so now I have summer shoes! I got two pairs of sandals (including this lovely rainbow pair) and a pair of very lightweight summer ( Read more... ) -
Progress
We got our FBI background checks done, and we aren't criminals. Yay! Also, today, we got the first of our Covid shots. Yay! So, progress has been made. -
Negative!
Our Covid tests are negative! We also got enough dealt with at the bank that we are all set to go. Phew! -
Not much
Today was pretty calm. Ran some errands. Did laundry. Thought about etching glass with a Dremel. Worked out plans for getting vaccinated and fingerprinted in the US. -
Still working on the bank
This morning, we went to the bank, and while we got our contact information changed, we didn't manage to get access to online banking. So, we'll try again on Monday. I'm starting to feel more prepared for going to the US, which is good. The first flight is only 8 hours, which isn't too bad. Hopefully, I'll manage to bring enough food that I'll be
