I'm planning a move to Portugal next year
Tell me more!!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I had a dream that only one of the Queer Eye guys was real, and the others were just in that one guy's imagination.
Amazing.
I'm trying (failing) to get back in the headspace to do the reading I need to finish for the class I'm taking this semester. We also have an assignment due *before* the first class which is part of a *group project* and thank goodness my project partner and I are on the same page about basically winging it because I literally CANNOT.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for negative tests!
Mr. S was horrible all day yesterday, ending with him refusing to go to sleep and being extremely disruptive. He didn't fall asleep until sometime around midnight, and still woke up before 8 this morning. Sigh...
Parents update: My mom was moved to a rehab center this week. My dad was still in the hospital as of Friday, but thinks he will be transferred on Monday.

Sheryl, I do hope he is transferred soon. I am sure it is easier on them to be in the same place.

Hey Laura!
I've been thinking about moving abroad for a couple of years, specifically to open a series of businesses stemming from a retreat center. It's a grand dream and I'm loving the planning.
Initially, I planned on Ireland because you can buy amazing properties for about what a fancy condo costs around here. But. Things are so, so tense there, both because of Brexit and on-going internal troubles that seem like another never-ending war.
Portugal has much of what I am looking for and the time seems right.
A Peace March Friend lives there now, though he is retired...in contrast to my plan to never retire.
Have you ever been?

Oh Sheryl, I hope the transfer works out in the best possible way.

No, I have not been, but now I will have a great reason to visit! Very exciting news.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
bonny, that sounds like an amazing plan!

bee, that sounds amazing! I've never visited but always wanted to. A college friend and I had been talking about it, then... pandemic, etc.
Lunch with friends was lovely. I am tired now.
Did finally pin down a week for a beach "workcation" with a couple of friends, last week in October. I like the ocean; I do not like crowds.

There will be plenty of room for visitors! It really is going to be great and there is a very good chance I have investors ready to support the vision. But, rather than wait for all the dominos to fall into place, I am going to go, get settled and scout for the best locations.
Portugal is #17 in the world for wifi coverage, so I'll be able to keep my client base and fold them into the new businesses.
Plus? 3 international airports. [wink]
