Overdue
So, yeah... Life.
Life is good... We've finally settled into our new place in Lynchburg, which is wonderful. It's old, but clean, and big. It was actually made to be lived in, and that usually makes things more comfortable. Our first place was one of those two story houses converted into a duplex... that tends not to work out too well. Now we've got twice as much room for $200 less a month.
The downside of all this is that we live in Lynchburg now, which isn't really a downside except that now we're both about an hour farther from our families than we were in Roanoke (there's no good way to get to 81 from Lynchburg, so it adds to the trip), and we're about an hour further from Bluefield. That's going to make Christmas tricky... I've now officially got three places to be around that time. We'll have to make the trip up to Berkeley Springs, we'll have to be in Roanoke, and I doubt Rawn and Lisa are going to fel like driving to Lynchburg during the time they come in this year for Christmas, so we'll probaby be coming down there for a couple of days. I suppose another upshot is that since I'm a teacher I'll get about two weeks off for Christmas so I'll have time to come down and see everybody. Peanut's not working this semester, so she'll be available as well.
Work is good... it could be said that we got off to something of a rocky start, but I'm beginning to get into a groove now. It gets easier each week, with all the planning and whatnot. It used to seem a huge task to figure out what to do with these kids for 90 minutes, but now 90 minutes isn't enough to do what I wanted each day. I could do with more.
We got our kitty whacked... he had a huge pair, but now he's just got testicle nubbins. I used to call him numbnuts when he fell off of stuff... now It's usually either Shithead or No-nuts. Right now he's being deceptively cute. I know he doesn't mean it. I know he's really plotting my demise. He's been much calmer since we had his junk removed, though. Maybe he'll be a sweet kitty after all (doubtful).
I went bowling last night. I suck at bowling some kind of bad. I'm even worse when I'm drunk, but I notice less... it's a fair tradeoff.
I can't think of anything else... I got a cane with flames on it so I'm going to be House for halloween. Peanut doesn't know what she's going to be yet. We might be going to Richmond. Dunno.
That's been pretty much life... Not a whole lot going on aside from those events previously mentioned.
Woo life.
