Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

vis-à-vis going to America
So on Monday night we headed down to our old stomping ground, Slough, where I had booked what turned out to be a quite stunningly strange hotel. The place looked ‘okay’ in the photos, and had okay reviews, but when we actually got there it turned out to be quite, quite odd. In what was…

Big day approaches
As we get closer and closer to the visa day I get more and more stressed. Like, wandering in circles trying to shake it out a bit, trying yoga, listening to relaxation stuff stressed. It’s quite weird for me, because for a long time I’d managed with my childhood GP’s fantastic advice: “Be less stressed”.…

Well, that was one heck of a day.
I started off this morning with deep angst. That ‘Oh god we made the wrong decision’ angst. What if… what if that offer yesterday was the only offer we were going to get? What if no one else would want our quirky and interesting house. What if they’d all be scared of the reclaimed wood…

And I thought they would hatch
So, it turns out I’ve been involved in chicken counting. Which is foolish, and I should know better. Although we could sell the house at the price we were offered, it’s not what the agent thinks we should be able to get…and it’s less than we hoped for by a goodly chunk. So. We wait.…

I appear to have slipped into an alternate dimension
So, okay… is this some kind of insanely strange parody? I mean… no, really. I’m really confused. I can’t tell if it’s meant to be a joke. Because they can’t seriously be reporting this as news. I mean, really, can they? I just… I’m really confused. Are we now going to start judging people on…

The sun has gone in
Sadly, the sun’s disappeared… I’d been contemplating a walk. So instead, you get my mulling, rather than me perching by the river and letting the meandering water be home of my considerations. It’s very odd here at the moment, perched precariously on the precipice of leaving. The future is a massive void of the unknown.…

Don’t say I don’t know how to relax…
So, the viewings seem to have gone okay. Well, the Friday one has led to an e-mail update saying the person is considering offering, which is better than not considering offering. Which is nice to hear. Saturday we’re yet to hear about – but I’m not expecting to know about that until Monday. So with…

This is all a weeny bit stressful
So, I have an exam to sit, which is very cool, but quite scary. Especially because I run into a lot of people who’ve failed, or know people who’ve failed. Of course, I realise, that my sample selection is probably somewhat skewed, in that if you passed the NCLEX, you’re probably working in America. I’ve…

Eligibility Confirmed
I am, apparently, eligible to take the NCLEX… the scary/terrifying, up to 6 hour, up to over 250 question, adaptive testing examination for nursing registration in the US. Whee.

Oh yeah, oh yeah (dancie dancie)
My nursing degree is “Comparable to completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in the United States.” My reading of this is: W00T!* Let’s just hope the state board is happy with the number of hours I’ve done in each area :) * Although my leaving gift from work appears to be a…
