I missed writing yesterday because I was catching up on the day after a shock to my system on Wednesday. I am still trying to work out what the universe and God are trying to teach, tell and show me. At the moment, I am not fully appreciating whatever it is or may be. 😒
A while ago M mentioned that there is a chance my visa will have to be cancelled because we have not had the money to pay for insurance or the completed visa. As it is, we have had to pay quite a lot just to get the visa in the first place, but we are just making do financially. 😯 On Tuesday night, M came home and said the visa company was going to get in touch to sign some papers about cancelling it, but did not specify that what they wanted was my passport, Emirates ID and were really going through with the process.🙁
So, Wednesday morning, I freaked with the news. 😵Now, understand – life here does not move forward without an EID which comes from the visa. The reason we had to live in our friends’ apartment over the summer, went 11 weeks without electricity, etc was because neither of us had these very important items. Therefore, now the thought of having it all cancelled puts us back into the threat of being kicked out of our place, going without electricity again and all of that will cost money that neither of us have….
Needless to say I was nearly on a plane out of the country on Wednesday to flee the situation. I went from disbelief straight to anger. 😡There is no more room for tears or meltdowns – those will come later, I’m sure. 😜
Luckily, M stayed reasonably calmed and walked me off the edge, so-to-speak. We came up with a plan that will happen for me no matter what. Our plan is to leave here by the end of March, early April. Perhaps we will come back now and then or at least I may until June as I am supposed to be starting a 200hr yoga training course next week, which finishes in June. I can come back for the weekends depending on where we are – hopefully. While we do not yet know our destination, we are narrowing down options: Philippines, France or Japan or somewhere in the US.
It is nice to at least have a decision made in that direction. Just hoping that wherever it is we will be in a much better place to get started and get out of this hole that we seem to be unable to get out of. 😔
My hope is that I can still maintain writing online and building up our new business venture. So, there is always still hope!
