For a variety of reasons, the London move is 99.9% dead. I am bummed. My visions of life in London were rather exciting. Husband and I spent hours scouring the internet looking at neighborhoods, and we loved Marylebone. I pictured the delicious candy bars I would consume every day. Unlike in the US, the community development field is growing in London. (I think.) Plus, I could use the time to write Off the Beaten (Tube) Track. How much fun that would be!
At the same time, it certainly makes life easier. I won't have to live apart from Husband at all in 2009, which is very good. Not eating delicious candy bars every day is much better for my health. Finding employment in New York when I plan to live here year round will be easier than when I planned to spend my winter and summer breaks in London. Another big plus is that we won't go broke.
Still, dreams die hard. I'm hoping that Husband will get another opportunity to work in London in the near future. Until then, Elton John's lament plays in my head. Oooooh ooooh oooooh...

aw. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer! I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteDang, I'm sorry because that would have been a great adventure. London is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad it won't complicate school or your NYC life and that you'll still be local to me:]
In other news, I forgot how much shaving one's snatch is not fun after the first 8 hours. If I had to work in an office I'd call in with razor burn and ingrown hairs. mmm sexy.
See, you can't leave. We have so much to learn from each other!
And in this humidity, that sounds even less pleasant. Eek.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry because now I can't visit you there. But I have always wanted to go to NYC! (yes, it IS all about me, all the time)
ReplyDeleteDamn it! Damn it! Damn it! I think I am more bummed than you are. At least nothing changes for me - I still have no true friends in London. Tell husband he will have to fly you here 2-3 times a year to make up for the sorrow . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping you'll get another opportunity as soon as your done with school. Then you could go with hubby.
ReplyDeletei'm glad you don't have to be separated from husband, but sad i can't visit you!
