Looks like we're gonna hafta leave Germany next month.

Violet had multiple jobs vi was really looking forward to doing fall through at the last minute, and vir visa application is dangling by a thread. If vi can't get a job in the next two weeks, we can't stay here.

Hilariously, my visa's good until April.

We can only cover rent for this apartment without income one more month, so...if vi doesn't get a miracle job in the next week or two we have to pack it all in, anyway.

And by "Pack it all in," all the stuff we shipped is on a boat that won't get here until late August, and is basically all a wash cuz we couldn't afford to ship it on again anyway. There are a few things we want to try and save. I'd like to dig out my microphone and at least some of my old sketchbooks. But we did pack way too much stuff, cuz, yanno, upending your whole life (again, for Robin and me) is a pretty traumatic change even when it's a good one.

I do like the idea of being able to have little enough stuff to just live out of a suitcase, but yeah. This has been a huge fuckin' blow.

My mates have a mutual partner in Missouri who's offered to put us up with herself and her mate, so we do have a place to land on our faces if our last hail mary struggles don't pan out. The not knowing sucks, and we're going to be putting together our more concrete plans this week.

So yeah, that's what's going down here. Fuckin' sucks.
