Suddenly the days are flying by and the movers will show up in the morning. The house is pretty much organized for packout but I have to tackle the kitchen today. I took Friday off work and spent the rainy morning working on the house before treating myself to lunch out and a quick walk through the fine arts museum.
Last night we had a farewell dinner at a nice parrilla with Lea & Jose and Rachel & Ray – it was so nice of them to treat us to such a lovely evening — and especially to get out in the rain.
This past week I worked from home so I could take a class for spouses of deputy chiefs of mission (DCMs — John’s position in Guyana). I’ve been joking about, but it turned out to be a really good class and discussed things like ethics, gift acceptance policies, policies regarding what you can/can’t do in an official residence (which ours will be), tracking official expenses, social media advice, cybersecurity, etc. Who knew there was so much to learn! And — to be clear, it’s my decision how much or how little I want to be involved, and that was actually a discussion topic as well.
Meanwhile, Flavie continues to live her best life!
