Singing and Soccer

Today at work was productive.  I got everything finished off ahead of schedule today that I expected to have done tomorrow.  My wife and I had some discussion about me possibly cutting back my hours or stopping work completely much earlier than I originally planned.  I may do that in light of everything that needs to be done soon.

We found out today that the POV shipment takes 6-8 weeks.  This means we're already behind the ball on that. We will probably have to rent a car in Germany which we were told is far more expensive than renting in America.  Oh well, I'll see what I can do.  It makes it a little tricky because I'll have to get the car to port in Baltimore, but possibly get back home only to head back to Atlanta in a week or so afterward.  Maybe flying Etsy over to Atlanta makes more sense?  I don't now.  It's a noteworthy ordeal because, according to our sponsor in Germany, we'll need a car for the first several weeks just to get in-processing done.  Guess we'll be off to a crazy start, but then again, my Austrian friend Christian did warn me about the paperwork involved moving into Germany.

I have been asked by the St. Casimir's music coordinator to sing with my sister this weekend at St. Casimir's.  While I'm not sure how this will work, it will close the loop for me on that aspect of moving out as she is replacing me.

My soccer game was okay.  It was great in that Antonio finally got a goal.  His first in Minnesota, and he gets knee surgery next week.  I was happy for him.  He was asking me for a lot of tactical advise with the team today too.  I feel like he finds me either inspirational or a good mentor for the team.  It's a weird feeling because my advice is usually not solicited in this regard.  We lost, and I only played about 5 minutes, but I made those minutes count.  It was still worth it to go.  I really hope to play soccer in Germany.  Hopefully, full game times with full teams on a full field.  You get a real workout, but I think it's way more fun.

On the Georgia front, weapons training has been going on yesterday and today.  Yesterday, she was not doing so well hitting the target and got a lot of flak for it.  Today, they were to zero their sights, and she was one of the first to get it done correctly.  Suddenly, she was highly regarded.  I imagine she'll have weapons training tomorrow too.  I know she's enjoying this part of her training :)

In the background, she needs to coordinate with our sponsor and get flight tickets for our trip.  Concurrently, I have to coordinate traveling with the dog and getting the car shipped ASAP.  The list keeps on going:)
