It has been an extremely "unique" time for us... with Shasta's passing, we were experiencing situations that had not previously arose in both our lives.
I will try to be more consistent in updating this blog...
From the last point of update till now, what has happened....
1) Happy Birthday to Bernard
2) Happy Birthday to Charlie
For Charlie, I would have posted a picture tribute, just like I did for Jon... I HAVE PHOTOS!!
But Charlie did say he felt a lot safer during his birthday. First time in like 8 years he has not felt the need to lie about leaving town on his birthday...
3) Allen J's dad passed away.
May your Dad rest in peace. I hope you are doing ok.
As far as Jessica and I are concerned. Jessica has signed a 2 year contract with the bank and as of June 30, we had to give up the perks of being expats in Singapore. That means, no more housing and no more food allowances. We have actually moved to a place that we share with Jessica's brother, but we are only partially moved in. The place has minimal furniture and we were going to go furniture shopping but Jessica's brother told us to hold on. He was informed that he may be posted back to Singapore and if that happens, he will have a whole house of furniture to ship back here. He already has a place here and won't be needing the furniture right now. But, the decision on whether he will be posted to Singapore might not be will somewhere in July. So, we decided we will continue staying at my parents' for now. And since we will be back in SF for most of August, we decided to move in to the new place when we return from the SF trip. Most of what we brought back from SF the first time round is already in the new place, it's just the furniture.
Other things... I'm still unemployed. Anyone with jobs or business ideas are welcome to share them with me...
Lastly, a short condolence note. This past weekend, Jessica's ex-roommate's Dad passed away. She has made home in San Jose and could not visit with her Dad as she is near term in her pregnancy (34 weeks? I don't know... something like that). So, unfortunately, she could not be with her Dad in his last moments and also could not attend the funeral. Her Dad was 59 years old. We attended the wake and the stories of how the family members hooked up Skype for her to speak to her Dad and even for her to witness his last moments completely touched me. Our condolences go out to you and your family.
Back with more tomorrow....
