Tired out

I’m pretty tired out these days. Most of the fault lies with two little kids who continue to think that their real bedroom is their parents’. I am sooooo tired of Brinley and Tristan coming into our room at night and camping out, each and every night. Ironically, Michele seldom is bothered enough to wake up.

Michele had a really bad weekend with her shaking/trembling symptoms but seems a bit better today.

I heard from the buyer of our house in Indiana that almost everything has come together for the closing, so maybe that can be taken care of soon.

It was a huge disappointment to see Andre Agassi defeated by Roger Federer in the championship match of the U.S. Open. That kind of characterized the weekend, which was full of disappointment and lack of motivation to do anything.

The first week

This was the first week of school for Keegan and also the first week of work at my new (old) job. Good thing it was a short week for both of us! Keegan seems to be fitting into his new routine pretty well. I managed to figure out the train and bus combinations fairly well but it will take a while for me to get used to spending an hour to an hour and a half in commuting time after having no commute whatsoever during the past three and a half years.

Complicating the week was two trips back to our house in Indiana, which I needed to make in order to move most of the rest of our things out of the garage. I got home from the second trip early this a.m. and it was good to get back safely. I don’t care if I never have to make that trip again. We have no idea where we will find space for everything yet in our new house (the one car garage is overflowing).

It was good to see so many familiar faces at my work that I had known when I worked there before, and to be so warmly greeted upon my return. The place has definitely “grown up” and become more corporate than it was before, and in general, I think that is a very good thing.
