Today my husband and I had the "coffee visit" with our landlady and her partner. We did indeed get served coffee and they were extremely nice and friendly. We were correct on one and a half things we speculated about before the visit. The one is that we will need to move elsewhere in about three or so months. The "half" is that someone is separating, but it's their friend and her husband, not my landlady and her partner. She said that they plan to buy a house from that friend in Austria, but in order to afford it they need to sell the house we are currently renting. She kindly offered us some options given this, but none are likely of interest to us. We stated that we need time to think on a few things. She seemed OK with that. When we travel to France next week, we might just be looking for an apartment to rent, as well. It's hard to know now if we will sign any contracts on the spot, but it's possible.

I've had a bit of a headache since the above visit. It feels like a sinus headache, but it may be partially stress-induced. In any case, I'm not really feeling anxious. Rather I feel a certain peacefulness. I know we need to find a more long-term or even "final" home. It's time!

Hubby is meeting his friend downtown and then going to dinner with him. I will FINALLY have a chance to be by myself. I'm going to make myself a stir fry for dinner and then do whatever I want...or even nothing at all. I've always savored alone time and independence. I'm hoping if we move to France, I'll get more of it and quicker.
