little update on my situation

[darin]

I am 'in-country'. Approaching two weeks in Germany - my mind and body are recovering probably slowly. I underestimated what this move would do to my psyche except I was prepared for the worst I suppose. My kids are in school now and adjusting leaps and bounds faster than they adjusted prior to school - the first week we were hotel-bound largely. I've found a house I think I want to live in; kids are on-board. It's cozy and humble and some parts are pretty nice. It's in the city. The facing street is about 10 feet wide; I think perhaps two Smart for2 cars could fit side-by-side; not much more.

I've attached a few photos of the area - some from a meadow just across the road from our village. A pic of the landscape - the village i'm in isn't quite as rural, but it gives an idea of the terrain Also - a fun pic - as I set the cruise control at 185kph travelling between cities. Since then I've found about 150kph is about perfect. I am anxious about REALLY starting work. Wherever I sit I likely will sit for a few years. Settling in. NOT looking every day for jobs online - that's gonna be new. Ya know, I have regularly applied for jobs overseas for probably 12 years. Now I'm here.
