At home in New York

I'm back - did you miss me?

The last six weeks or so have been a wild mixture of exhaustion, excitement, impatience, packing and tedium. I wrapped up our Georgia lives as best as I could while keeping life as normal as possible for Aidan, and on Thursday, 17 December, we picked up James from the ATL airport and life accelerated. We packed up a PODS container, waved it off, and climbed into my car with suitcases, boy and cat.

Three days, 1000+ miles, eight states and no one got tossed from the car - not bad. We arrived in Baldwinsville one week ago and started the process of settling in. The PODS container doesn't arrive until Thursday, but we have been getting the lay of the land and learning how to live together as three people again. Christmas was very merry, mainly because we are together and don't have a airplane departure looming over us.

I have found and visited both the local library and the closest Wegmans grocery store, so life is good. More, much more, to come!

On hiatus

With only a little over four weeks to go until we load up a van with a subset of our belongings and drive north, there is much going on in my life...but really not much other than The Impending Move. So unless something monumental happens, say we actually sell the house or we win the lottery, I won't be posting until we are up north and settled in. After all, how exciting is it to report that another box has been packed or I canceled COMCAST or I can't wait to leave?

So happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the holidays that follow, whichever of them that you celebrate, and I will see you either at the end of 2009 or the beginning of 2010. TTFN!
