One Week Later...

I think I'm going to live. It was a rough weekend, and even though I've been taking it easy, the nights were rough on my foot. Today, I'm able to walk with no noticeable limp, and yesterday I was able to work. The biggest difference right now is that I'm slow. The job I did yesterday should have taken about half an hour (at least that's what it usually takes) and it took me an hour. Thankfully my boss is very understanding, and I know the extra time won't be a problem.

We've settled in more. We've gotten most of the boxes unpacked or moved to storage. We ended up getting a storage unit - as much as we threw things out and took truckloads to D.I., we still have too much stuff!! It's just amazing how much we have amassed in 3 years. The (old) house had seemed so huge, but we filled it up quite well, and losing all that space has been rough. I ran the dishwasher for the first time since we moved in 10 days ago - plastic and paper have been a lifesaver, even if they're not so good for the environment. Don't shoot - we are recycling all that we can! ;)

We're still looking for a dining room set and a new couch. We thought we wanted a couch with recliners built in, but now DH thinks that's too many hiding places for scorpions. So we're making do with half of our huge sectional.

Life calls, so I better get up and get doing.
