I collected the bulk of my personal belongings from friendly storage in Pennsylvania this Easter weekend. As well, my uncle and his wife decided to spend a day in the city on the return trip, which was great because I've had yet to enjoy my time here with deep friends or family since arriving (my original hosts notwithstanding, with whom I spent a fabulous time around the city when I first "landed"). This on a clear fair-weather Saturday night no less.
However, it wasn't so great getting the flu during it all, and what little energy I had I could only use to hoist my belongings to and fro. Blah!
The good news is I have a lot of my things with me now. A year plus into this and I can't say that I've exactly nailed everything that needs to be down. People who throw their eyebrows when I say that don't realize that I'm running a long field game with a slippery ball. That being said, now that myself and my crap are all in one place, I am here, by wine or welfare, to stay. Life will just have to accommodate. ;)
