Hopefully it was the last weekend that I am solo as I’ll be flying back to Jakarta today Tuesday evening, arriving Jakarta Thursday afternoon, and leave with the family on Saturday. There are many hoops to jump through until we all get here, including the cat. Both husband and myself are feeling quite anxious about what could go wrong. He has done a tremendous job in taking care of the family, arranging everything at home, packing last bits of things, and so much more. We are a great team for all those things together and it’s in these moments of change, stress, that I realize how much I appreciate him. While he relies on me on the planning, the mental load of arranging things, he can execute them, super reliable.
Weekend highlight: I bought a car!!! Yeah~~~ From an ambassador who’s leaving, a used car that barely has 2000 miles. I saw the car on Sunday and we closed the deal. We will to wait until May to get the car so we will rent one until then.
The view from my hotel room. Saturday was raining quite a bit and I ran under the rain.
I was feeling quite exhausted over the weekend, probably due to stress, lack of proper lunch, so I made myself to eat at a restaurant, alone, to finish both salad and entree. It was my first time having tofu in Brasilia, I miss my tofu!!!
the dog from the ambassador. I felt lucky to have found this car and this seller. Zero worry about its quality and the seller reliability. As I tell many, for all big changes, one needs a lot of luck, in big and small things.
I went to the massage place again and enjoyed 80 min of deep tissue followed by tea and chia pudding.
on Sunday, I still feel tired so my plan was to do 5-6 miles easy run. The more I ran, the more I felt energized and ended up doing 12 miles (glad I packed a gel). I felt energized for the rest of the day, which was surprising. Magically I recovered from exhaustion by running more?
The view from the evening with parasailing around the TV tower.
Finger crossed all goes well in the next few days.
Our New Journey 
Good luck, Coco! You’re coming into the home stretch. I wish you smooth travel and transition!

You two are such a great team. I think I would be curled in a ball on my bed sobbing with anxiety. There is SO much to manage and I am just amazed at how competently you juggle it all.
What a relief it will be when you are finally all together in Brazil. And a new adventure will begin!!! Can’t wait to follow along.

Good luck with this final stretch of a huge move! The final stretch always feels extra challenging as you are often fatigued at that point and just want it to be done! I hope everything goes smoothly! Having a great partner makes a huge difference!
