Still kind of shocked to find out an old friend from California died this morning. She was younger than us. 😞 I hated her when I first met her, but we grew to really like each other, and her smile would light up the room. I still kinda don’t know what happened - it was sudden no clear details yet. Her mom or her sister found her in the car. I want to know more but we obviously have to give her family time to process.

@aishasie I suspect as we all get older, this will be more common 😞😞

@elfin @skotchygut it’s very unlikely you can get to Portugal from Seattle in three hours, doll. Unless you have a tardis

@goatsarah oh! I didn’t know about the certification - that’s very interesting, thank you!

Right now we’re feeling pretty overwhelmed. Fridge doesn’t work, dishwasher doesn’t work, I found a dead roach in a drawer, saw a friend, witnessed a fist fight, and more stuff and we only got here Tuesday.

We have our SEF appointment today, which *should* go fine, but I keep fighting the feeling that we’ve made a mistake. What if the animals never adjust? What if I can never learn this damned language well enough? What if we hate it here? What if there’s something we forgot to ship that I’ll be devastated to realize is missing. How do we even get our stuff once it’s here? Where will we put it?? Maybe we shouldn’t have shipped anything? What if they don’t renew our lease? What if we can’t get doctor’s appointments in time to get renewed prescriptions? What if my sister never comes to visit and I never see her again? Will the frustration of not having direct road access because of the bollards be too much hassle?

I’m sure this panic is pretty normal. Moving to another country where you don’t speak the language is big, and I KNOW I need to be more patient with myself, but man it’s tough. It comes in waves, and the jet lag and lack of sleep surely doesn’t help, but it’s exhausting.

We only arrived two days ago, I know I need to just give myself more time to adjust but I do wish these waves would stop. It’s all very exciting but also nerve-wracking.

It’s happening to both of us, so we’re mostly just trying to not have the panics at the same time so we can be strong for each other while the other one melts down.

Disappointing, but hardly surprising.

Really nailed it there, @DatamarsPetLink@twitter.com. Even better, if I claim my dog is a “mare” (since I have to pick one), the form won’t submit, no errors on screen.

Registering a new chip is arguably THE main reason people go to your site, and it is fundamentally broken.
