Had the icky sickies of a flair and sinus infection since my
last post. Had a lot going on with training with Tesla, physical
therapy, and an unexpected trip back to Texas to look for rental
options. I went alone with the dogs this time because Mike didn't have
enough time to take off work, and needed the time and money for moving.
As we found out the last time, the rental market there is crazy and if
you don't immediately jump on something you like, you lose it. This
happened several more times over the past months and even during the
trip. We finally managed to find something that will work for us, and
were approved! I will be going back and forth between there and my
aunt's house while waiting for my disability stuff to be sorted out, and
also so I can help family with some things. Mike is moving down from
NJ to the new house mid March. I will move most of my things over to the
new place so they are there for when I can move there full time. Now he
is closer to his employer and better job opportunities. It is only
about an 8hr drive from New Orleans (more for me since I need to stop
frequently to take breaks), so we'll finally have a chance to be back
together again after waiting so long and it will be easy for me to
travel back and forth as needed. So insanely happy!
During
this recent drive there and back, there was some avian amusement. I
literally watched a chicken try to cross the road in Caldwell, TX. By a
busy traffic light, the young bird was at the edge of the road and
would start to dart out, but then run back when a vehicle would get too
close. This happened several times as vehicles ahead of me passed it. I
slowed down, and it tried again. This time making it halfway across the
road. It had to fly frantically the rest of the way to avoid traffic.
The chicken crossed the road, and it did get to the other side!The next month or so is going to be crazy busy. Excuse my sporadic presence online.
