12. I wish you all the luck in the world!

My father was born a British subject (in 1909; his parents brought their family over here in 1911), which is supposed to entitle me to dual US/UK citizenship, according to what I've read. I doubt I'll ever do anything about it, though. As tempting as the thought is these days, the older my husband and I get, the more daunting the thought of moving to another country is. It would also be very expensive, I'm sure, and I don't see any way we'd ever be able to afford it. But I am all in favor of doing it, if one possibly can.

I just hope to God the Orange Hellbeast loses in November. If he doesn't, nothing will ever be the same. If we were LGBTQ or any color other than pasty white, going the expat route would probably look more appealing, but the motivation just isn't strong enough right now to make me want to fight past the financial obstacles. Again, I send my wishes for good luck to you and anyone else looking for a way to make it out of here!
