I'm here!

It's great to be in my new place, and well into the process of getting settled. I said some great helpers in Bloomington, and Dave and Tara were great in TH with the unloading and the general set-up. All in all, a very productive day. I may end up stealing Tara away from Dave, though--she really liked the jacuzzi in my bathroom. :) Today has been great as well, as we spent lots of money I don't really have to get things like lawn-mowers (well, only one) and hedge clippers and whatnot. Up next is a trip to Kroger to get, among many others things, lots of Kleenex.

Kleenex is important, of course, because I am really sick. Maybe it's the living out of hotels for the past few weeks, or the physical exhaustion of teaching on less than ideal food, or a combination of those things, but yesterday (and still today some) I was exhausted and completely drained. Personally, I blame my students (hear that you guys?). Clearly, this is all there faults...them and their grubby, dirty little hands. If only I had a spleen to fight off all of this stuff....
