good news all around today. i’m in houston, in my apartment, my dsl connection worked on the first try, my mattress is here and comfy, my stuff has been brought in from the van, and the movers are coming with the rest this afternoon. the only bad thing is that my sofa was not delivered as scheduled, for unknown reasons. they can deliver it friday (grr), but dad and i are planning to drive to their warehouse tonight and get it ourselves. i’m tired of waiting on them to get their act together.
the drive yesterday was fine…until the sun went down, at which point we were around baton rouge and the drive started to just get loooooooong. dad and i were both just ready to get here, and we finally did about 1:30 a.m. at which point i groused about my lack of a sofa, and then we immediately went to bed.
we did make the trip longer by stopping for two hours in atlanta for lunch, but it was worth it. chris, christina, carter, and kent met us at mick’s. we ate lunch and then even had time to go to jake’s for some ice cream before chris had to get back to work and we had to get back on the road. i wish i could have stayed longer; i always like going through atlanta.
in any case, i’m finally back in houston and my past month’s travels are at an end. it’s nice to be settling in one place for more than a week, but it’s sort of sad to see my exciting month end.
