We Made It

Well, we're settling in nicely here in Georgia.

Mind you, I have to watch that the dogs don't get carried off by the so-called "palmetto bugs" (really REALLY big roaches, although our realtor says differently; I'll have to check her credentials because I'm pretty sure entomologist is not among them.)

And our living room flooded because apparently they've never heard of flues down here. And our refrigerator is a piece of shit.

And there are uncovered electical outlets. That don't seem to fit in the wall, so it is impossible to fit them with a cover.

And the maintenance company will not return my calls or emails.

And it's so damn hot I break a sweat looking out the window.

On the bright side, a big tree branch fell during the last thunderstorm and dented our car!

Okay, all whining aside, Scott keeps pointing out that this is my opportunity to strike out in a new direction! That I can make a little vacation out of the next couple of weeks, then find a little part-time job that I can have fun at. He's right, of course, but for right now I think I'm going to feel a little sorry for myself. Come Monday, I'm going to pick myself up by my bootstraps and get a plan of action together.

But, just for today....well, a girl can dream of Ohio and the friends she left behind....
