And We're Back!

Moving... not so fun.

The movers themselves made great time, which I thought was fantastic, until I realized that most everything had been broken or damaged. Most of the things are still usable, and just have little chips, so it's not a complete disaster. It's just really annoying. I lost the box with all my computer wires and speakers too... I don't /think/ it was stolen, because that stuff is worth just about nothing. And there were much better boxes a thief could have pilfered. Go figure.

Setting up the new place with utilities has taken longer than I wanted as well. Today I'm finally back up with cable/internet/phones though. I'm typing this from my floor instead of a desk, but lets ignore that; the desk should be good to go soon. The place itself is really nice, although the wall along the hallway doesn't seem to block sound all that well (which, given my sporadic evenings of "let's sing along to loud music" is probably worse for my neighbors than for me... I'll do my best to be nice though.)

Apart from the move annoying me to no end, things have been going well. I'm waking up at 8:00/9:00 without an alarm everyday now, my insomnia has vanished, I'm getting out and running, and I have time to cook (which means I get to eat healthier food as well). I've been going to a theology/chatechetical course at a nearby greek orthodox church for fun, and unless I fail my TB test (.... which had better not happen...) I'm going to be set with my volunteer job at Georgetown University Hospital.

Well, I have lots of stuff to take care of, but I'm here again. I'll get back to updating this on a reasonably regular basis.
