We've been very very busy, hence lack of time for journaling.

Finally, we moved to our permanent apartment 🚚. Now, we live in a different town (more like a civilized village 🤭). It's 12 min drive from the office and 16 min from the centre, so not too far, but it's very green and very lightly populated. Very different from the centre. For example, people seem friendlier and almost everyone says hi.

Also, we received our container with stuff from Canada a few days ago. On one hand, it's fantastic, as we had been waiting for a lot of personal things. On the other hand, now, we live off the boxes. Unpacking is a very slow and painful process, as we don't have all the furniture for home storage 🤦‍♂️

Remembering previous moves, unpacking takes much more time than I anticipate, so I am trying not to think about it too much 🫣 Preparing myself for the scenario that some things will stay in boxes for a very long time. Some people suggest getting rid of stuff if 1 year after the move, it's still in boxes. An interesting idea 😀

Kids went to school, so lots of developments and logistical tasks there.

Living on Amazon now, trying to find appliances and other household things to make our life more comfortable and distract our children from being taken away from their familiar lives. This is another big challenge 😞

All essential tasks should be dealt with within the next couple of weeks, so looking forward to getting back to writing, podcasting, and recording videos.
