Everything Will Be Alright
Yes, I know I haven’t written in a while. My apologies. I’ll just say that I’ve been going slightly mad here in Dublin over the last few weeks. Let’s see, there have been some visa issues potentially negating Jenniffer’s ability to come here in a few weeks, let alone my ability to stay. I’ve also been getting dangerously close to the wire with regards to finding a place for us to live. I’m due to be out of here by the 18th, but my search was hindered a bit by the two-week national shutdown that occurred about three weeks ago. I believe the locals call it “Christmas.”
However, it seems that I just made it through with most of my sanity intact. In the movie “Almost Famous” there is an often-used line that is quite applicable – “It’s all happening!”
People in the nursing administration department of my hospital have personally negotiated with the Department of Immigration, and now all of that silly visa stuff has been worked out. Woo-Hoo!
Also, as of today I have found a nice place for Jenniffer and I to live. I still have some paperwork to do, but it is more or less official. Here are some links to pictures from the website advertising the apartment:

Once again, sorry for the long pause between posts. I hope to write again another time or two before I move. After that, though, expect a delay for a few weeks. I have to get phone and broadband set up, which here can take a while. Hell, everything takes a while here. Ironic how Ireland’s laid-back atmosphere, which I truly love, can also really drive you crazy when trying to get something done. I wonder if Jenniffer thinks the same thing about me sometimes. That was rhetorical, please don’t answer.
