Limbo

Once again we're at that time when things are getting decided and we have no control over what will be offered to us - I call it "Limbo". And, boy, it is not easy being in limbo. Even being like, the 10th time, I'm still not used to it. But this time I must admit I'm a little bit less anxious. 

The problem with being in limbo is that I have no idea where and when we'll end up next. I do have an idea but I'm not sure yet. And I also have no idea how long limbo will last.

Yes, we narrowed down our options - New York or Warsaw. Maybe Dubai or Tokyo. Not Athens or Sao Paulo, anymore. I also decided on my time frame to move - June or July because I won't take the kids out of school before the end of the school year. Of course, this can all change, although I really hope it doesn't. See, this is how limbo feels like: uncertainty, my world is upside down.

On top of all this, there will be the actual job offer. Will the job be good? Will the compensation be good? Will the career plan change? Will my husband be happy with the job? Questions, questions and more questions...

I'm already thinking of the logistic of the move, particularly, transporting our pets and finding a good school for the kids.

It is breaking my heart thinking that if we move to NY we will have to sell our home and move to a much smaller apartment or move to the suburbs where the commute will be around 45 minutes each way. But at least I'll be in or near NYC. And this is pretty good! I love NY! I just don't love the cost of living there. 

If we move to Warsaw we'll keep our home as a home base but I'll need to find someone to take care of it for us. This way I'll have sunny Florida to come back to mid winter, when it gets extremely cold over there. It will be nice to tour Europe with the kids. I'll also be close to some friends. So it won't be bad.

As you can tell I am not anxious - or so I claim - but my head  is spinning. For a control freak, like me, there is nothing worse than this phase we're in right now. The one thing I know for sure is that the move will be for the best. It always is - this is my mantra and I'm sticking with it! Time to wait...
