Completely moved out!

Tonight, with one last carload of stuff, I completely moved out of my old place!! Aww, it's a little sad since I spent about 9 months there but I'm pretty psyched about my new place so I'll get over it. It was kind of a quick decision to move and then get moved - it all happened in less than a month - but I'm so thrilled to stop looking. I'd always known the place I was living was only temporary so I spent a good part of the last nine months scouring apartment listings and roommate situations trying to find a good place. It's such a relief to be done with that, I can't even explain. My new place is bigger, cheaper and feels more like home already. Plus, it only takes me about 8 minutes to get to work in the morning, compared to what often was nearly 40 minutes but was a minimum of about 25 minutes. It's such a huge huge difference already. I'm still getting settled in but I'm well on my way. Anyway, excuse my absence the last couple of weeks. You might start hearing more from me now.

Hilton Head Kite Flying

I took some pictures of my family flying kites at the beach last week when we were in Hilton Head. Here is the link to the pictures in the album.

Hilton Head Kite Flying

Ow!

So I sprained my wrist the other day. I was out of town for a few days on a family vacation to Hilton Head, SC, and transportation back involved car, plane, layover, delay, plane, train, another train, walk to car, drive home... On the walk to the car, I tripped over my suitcase and went sprawling to the floor. I scraped up the right side of my body and apparently landed my left side solely on my wrist. I went to the doctor yesterday and they diagnosed it as a sprain with deep contusions. It really hurts, mostly when I try to use my fingers. The splint they gave me has helped stabilize it but it will probably be at least a week before it starts to feel much better. Could be worse, of course. I don't imagine I'll be writing on here much though because it hurts to type two-handed and I'm pretty impatient about typing one-handed.
