So, a month ago we got the news that we will moving to Japan next year. We’ll be living close to Tokyo which is totally awesome and we are extremely excited, of course. We’ve begun studying Japanese with Rosetta Stone, an awesome birthday gift from my in-laws, and we’ve started all the crazy work to get ourselves there.
The most stressing issue is selling our house. Luckily we have an amazing realtor working with us. Now I have to start listing all the things we are going to sell plus packing up what we want to keep. There is a lot to get cleaned up in the house as well, most especially painting and ripping up the remainder of the carpet. I still have paperwork I need to get done for the sale as well, so things in my brain are busy busy busy! We’re planning on selling pretty much everything except some electronics, books, collectibles, and clothing. Oh and power tools, those aren’t getting sold either. So we have tons of furniture to sell and we should really hold a garage sale to sell off all the little things.
We’ve also been running around doing doctors and dentist appointments trying to get the overseas paperwork completed. In the process of getting immunizations done I had a positive PPD test, which is the test for tuberculosis. As a result I am now doing a 9 month treatment of Isoniazid and B6 to prevent me later developing active tuberculosis. Luckily I didn’t have to have a crap load of shots though. Only needed a tetanus shot plus my TB treatment. But it did bring up the fact that I have no copy of my immunization record! Something I’ve tasked my mom with finding, but I’ll likely search for it when I go home for Christmas.
Which brings up the news that I’ll be spending a month at my mom’s for Christmas and then when the hubster goes to Florida for training I’m going to Texas to live with my mom. The time will be really good for me because I’ll be moving so far away! It will be hard to be away from our families but it’s such an amazing opportunity that it’s impossible to be sad. It would be amazing if our relatives could come visit while we’re there though! I know my brother is dying to come visit while we’re there. He’s such an asian, lol.
Wish me luck with all the stuff I have to get done before my brain explodes?
