I couldn't stay away

Well, Hell. I'm Back. I just couldn't stay away.

I'm back, for better or worse. I missed everyone terribly, even if to you my absence registered little more than a faint blip on the Blogit radar. I missed... well, I just missed writing on Blogit. I know, I sound corny 'n' all, but that's just the way it is.

In the time I've been gone, I managed to get my website up and running, and have gotten a few jobs so far, so that's good. I also managed to glean a little knowledge in HTML code, by way of reverse engineering a couple of Blogger templates I was using to restructure them to my own specifications, so I'm feeling pretty good about that, too.

My mother-in-law and her mother vacated our home two weeks after her arrival with the usual shouting match between her and my husband. She stayed with my brother-in-law for one week before a shouting match with him and his girlfriend (how can you call a 40-year-old woman a girlfriend? Don't we move beyond that title at some predefined point?) prompted her early return to Greece. Good riddance. Of course, all of her stuff from her recently vacated Stuttgart apartment is now occupying our master bedroom and laundry room, and I have no idea when or IF she plans to get it our of our house.

And on that note, we have finally moved through the final phase in the application for my husband's US residence visa. Yes, last week was his interview. Today, he cleared up a misunderstanding about his immunization records, and so we should know within the next two weeks whether he will be eligible for permanent residency in the US. Once that is determined, there's a good chance we will be living in the US by summer's end. Yee-ha!

Of course, that means completely starting over. But things aren't that great as they stand now, so it'll be like wiping the slate clean and doing something different. I'd like to get my teacher's certificate, for instance. I'd like to convince my husband to do the same, because, watching him teach our son math, I think he'd make a good teacher.

Well, that's enough for now. It's midnight where I am, and I'd like to get some reading done before crashing for the night. Take care, everyone. I missed you all!
