So we planned to spend the afternoon chez the immigration help desk, but it’s closed on monday. However Sita dig some googling and we reckon I’m as legal as they come and just have to file some expensive paperwork and the US will no longer have to feel threatened by my presence… I might even be allowed to leave the states next monday as planned. Here’s hoping… Other fun this afternoon involves filing my taxes round H&R’s offices. Something that never fails to calm me down and cheer me up. Ay, Mexico… tan lejos de dios pero tan cerca de mi corazon…
The I cleaned up 6 months of the bunnies Augean mess this morning. Hammered the bits of the run together that had fallen off during the Los Angelean winter. We have a laugh…. lulu, klem and me…
Can’t believe how computer prices have fallen in the last 6 months… I’m going to splash out on an external 100 gb min. hard drive, blank DVDs and some other bits and pieces once I get the chance. That’s after I’ve paid my bloody taxes again. Anyone in Mexico need anything? Para ti, precio especial, amigo, bien barato… Cheers!
Glad to see Atticus playing up for the webcam- and look forward to seeing pics of him, the bunnies, and even (!) Sally and Martin. Hope all goes well with the awkward squad at immigration/IRS etc…
Not sure about ‘Mejico tan lejos de Dios’- is it a quote or an aphorism you wrote or just a gut emotion??!! I quite see the reasons to feel that way..
The saying is: “Pobre Mexico, tan lejos de Dios, tan cerca de Estados Unidos” (for the non hispanoparlantes: Poor Mexico, so far from god, so close the the US) and is widely credited to Pres. Porfirio Diaz…
For the first time in a while we actually got a tax refund! Wonders never cease, then things went relatively well at the dept of homeland insecurity so all back to normal soon, we hope… skype yas pronto, cheers
