Thank you, @yellow_fleurs! I hope you get that air-conditioner soon, too. Ours was operating, but we noticed water dripping on our bedroom floor. My husband is trying to fix that.

Yes, after our second covid booster we'll feel more freed. We're planning a trip to a mountain resort in Slovakia after them. In general, we're mostly settled in, but I confess my Czech language learning efforts have been totally insufficient. It's not just laziness, but a bit of anxiety-induced reluctance, if that makes any sense. Also, we feel isolated. Some unforseen happenings have furthered that. Long story. In any case, I'm trying to be positive, and though it is an adventure, it's not the blast that some outsiders might see it to be. You know, "Moving abroad! Wow!" But there's still big stress and uncertainty. To a degree, we're still figuratively hiding in our room. Just on the other side of the Atlantic.

You have always been among the kindest members to me here. Again, nice to see you again.
