Getting Settled

So moving didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked. I found I had WAY more stuff than I realized. Most of it junk and after spending a good solid week an a half of slowly packing stuff up, and throwing stuff away (I understand garage sales sooooo much better now) It took two loads of my car plus one load from my parents Ford Explorer to get me moved home.

On top of that I got sick. Mostly in the throat/sinus region of my body, and it is almost over and I’m hoping some good hard work will make my body kick into overdrive and kick the last of it. So what I had hoped was going to be a 2-day move up to Paso took the better part of a week. I’m finding that it isn’t a bad thing. Two of my aunts were in town so we got to annoy each other and cause trouble. I did make my first staff meeting on a short drive up and tried to get my calendar mostly in gear. Then went back to my parents place to get the rest of the stuff I would need for my 3 month tour.
