One week from today

I have spent most of today shuffling stuff into the guest room which has become suitcase central, and trying to finalize things for my job that need to be settled before I go. What seems like it should be really easy, is more complicated than I think anyone thought. Agreements need to be signed and I need to apply for the UK version of our social security number (National Insurance number) when I get to England. I do have a work visa already, that allows me to work there. That was set up from the beginning as part of my husband's visa. And now, I am officially an expat worker for my company. My husband is working for a UK company, in the UK. They have a US presence, but they are a UK company. I am working for a US company, but living in the UK. My company has a UK presence, but is a US company. Even though we are both US citizens, apparently, it is quite a different situation in how we are set up and allowed to work because of how our companies are set up. We are going to need someone very versed in International taxes to assist us for the next few years as we have to file taxes in both locations. Tomorrow will be a very busy day --the last day before the movers come. We will be making sure everything they are packing and taking is well marked or separated from what is staying. This weekend will be a whirlwind, and we leave one week from today.
