I haven't got anything new to add to this, but thought I might write anyway.

Just to let all of you know that I am really happy and may stop writing in this blog completely shortly.

I will get my results from my Certification test on Friday and that will let me start looking for a permanent teaching job here in the USA.  The dogs are happy and settled, my car is running like a dream and I am still going out on dates with my new male friend.  There are one or two others in the pipeline too, in case this one doesn't work out, however, we are just friends and nothing serious is going to happen between us until we are both ready for it to happen.
