So, we have finally succeeded in changing the flights for the Sprout and me. Good news: We will be leaving 30 Aug instead of 9 Sept. Bad news: J still has to work and must stay behind until the 9th.
However, I'm much more comfortable with us (read S and her pop) being apart for 10 days instead of 2 months,* which was my big concern with leaving back at the beginning of July. I would have happily left tomorrow, even, but everything is booked solid until the 28th, and the 30th was the first flight J's contact could get us out on. Just 9 days more, 9 days more...
Curfew is still in effect here from 7pm-6am, and our flight is at 6:35, meaning we'll have to break curfew in order to check-in on time. The lady who changed our tickets said, however, that with our passports and tickets in hand, we should have no troubles.
To which J cheerfully said, "If the police don't just shoot at us first."
Ha. Ha.

Sadly, S is still not better. If the fever isn't gone tomorrow (it will be day 4), I'm going to call a dr. Poor mite. She busted her chin while you were in Timor-Leste and had to be put under to get stitches. A night in the hospital, etc. etc. No, we have not been having a good time of it. So ready for this break...
Sending lots of good and safe thoughts for you and the Sprout. Many safe thoughts for J until he gets out, too.
More good thoughts and safety to you, J and S.
P.S. She's your girl - she will adapt resiliently whatever the case :) Of course she may be sad for a bit, but I believe she will overcome it just as you would. All of life is filled with compromises, even for our beloved little ones.
How is your little family doing?
Glad to hear things are working out. Good luck and stay safe <3
Not just when reading news, but also every time I see an earwig ...
(Hooray for earwigs bringing us together. LOL)
(I was thinking of your magnificent donkeys. There are many here but they are difficult to photograph because they are on private land. I hope to have the opportunity.)
I hope you get your donkey photo opportunity. :D
