Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• The kitties being well taken-care-of, despite MISSING THEIR FSKING FLIGHT. NO thanks to the customs paperwork that held them up. I miss my cats!
• The very helpful support person at Caiway.nl, who talked me and N through getting our phones set up, coping admirably well with the language barrier.
• Very thankful for having internet again. Performance of a 5G phone's hotspot isn't stellar, but it's a LOT better than my old phone after AT+T throttled it down after I burned through my plan's bandwidth allowance after the internet left to us by the house's previous occupants got disconnected. Do I detect a bit of yak-shaving here? NO thanks to myself for not taking the time to switch my phone to T-Mobile before we left. One of many things I should have done.
• Amazon.nl and Ikea. Uber Eats. Flink (groceries orderable via Uber Eats).
• Distractions.

Progress!

I'm glad that you're navigating the situation fairly well. I'm doubly glad that you're safe outside the US, given our political climate.

Thanks! I am genuinely afraid for my US-based friends and family, and hoping that if things go badly you can all get out safely. My best advice is to vote, and have your passport ready for if it blows up.

I'm not going to have everything ready to bug out by Jan 6, but I'm getting it together and putting it in a safety box, just like my will, because life is unpredictable like that.

I'm sorry to hear about the kitty delay. It sounds like they didn't miss their flight; someone did that on their behalf. Stupid bureaucracy... :-(
