Settling in to our home and the B&B job has gone smoothly enough. Being back to living and working with Joanna has made us both very happy. Plus the in-laws are nice to work with and be around.
The things that made it seem like I wasn't really "here" yet were various delays and red tape. To try to be brief I'll just make a list:
- The belongings I shipped from the US late September arrived only 2 weeks ago.
- I received my UK driving licence only last week (and it's provisional).
- Resource contentions getting some things, including my National Insurance Number.
- Red tape even just getting added to Joanna's bank account.
Dealing with the companies and bureaucracy has been a source of regular frustration these past few months. I wonder if it's the universe training me for more such battles to come. Maybe, "How I learned to stop swallowing anger and really tear into those so deserving of it."? :-)
