Note
It appears that I finally made it back East and have begun settling into my new digs. The movers haven't shown up yet, hopefully by Wednesday, so I've been making due with an air mattress and some fill-in furniture from Ikea. I started my new job last Thursday, and so far, so good. Graham is settled in at CSU and is very much enjoying being on his own. It's a little weird being out here on my own (well, except for Annie), so far from my kids, but Graham is coming out for Thanksgiving, and that's something to look forward to.
The drive out here was pretty uneventful. I spent my last week out West in Laramie, and then drove out in mapboy style... in 2 days. Annie was out of sorts until just yesterday. I guess there were too many changes for an old dog, but she's perking up now, and I can stop worrying.
My neighborhood is very nice and quiet. I've met quite a few of my neighbors, and they were all very welcoming. This is actually the neighborhood Mom lived in when she bought her first townhouse just in the next block, so I feel right at home. It should be fine for as long as I'm out here...we'll see how long that turns out to be.
