December, 2024

A few months have gone by since our last blog post. It has been a tumultuous time. The days seem to merge into weeks and months. Some of the time has been good…some not as good. Let me try to catch up.

Overall, my job is going well. Much to do, not enough time for it all. Pretty much business as usual. We did our big meeting in Abu Dhabi in September and it went well. The months after have been busy but manageable.

The US election was disappointing and now we have a new administration ahead that we can’t see as anything but cataclysmic. It is hard to view from abroad. And we know that we will need to do something in a year or two. Where to go when my contract here expires? Of course the default is the US – that is our country of origin. But is that the best? Looking at other options but all are difficult. Where will we go as we enter retirement? Still no answer.

My husband and I were both born and raised in Kansas, but for the past 20+ years we have been living in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, with our children grown and out of the house, we have the opportunity to spend two years living in Tokyo. My husband will be working with the Japanese counterpart to his American company. UPDATE 2023... After 4-1/2 years in Tokyo, we returned to Atlanta. Now we are heading to London for a three year job assignment!
