Living in Limbo

Jon arrived safely in Nairobi, and hit the ground running yesterday. By the time he went to bed last night, he had secured two of the three quotes necessary for our shipment, sorted out the payment of said shipment, purchased his return flight tickets, ironed out more details about Dakota, made a plan for today and sorted most of the house. He isn't doing this alone-apparently, the entire office staff is helping as much as they can. Edith is particularly upset. I don't blame her-we have been her family's sole source of income for the last two years.
The kids and I have been hanging out...well, the kids have been hanging out. I spent yesterday working on the housing hunt-came up with a few possibilities for Jon to consider. Today has been mostly following up on some small details, and tomorrow will be necessary paperwork. Yuck.
Jon is due to arrive this Sunday afternoon--and we will hopefully be able to finish off the housing/schooling work.
Now to find a job.
