Becoming Real

The move went smoothly. I fit almost all of my belongings into Carly's jetta station wagon.I brought the rest in a guy's, from my mom's church, truck.  Although the weekend brought a mix of snow and freezing rain, Josh, Carly and my mom made the journey from Minneapolis MN to Omro WI without a hitch. Sunday, it took forever to get on the road. The tarp covering my mattress continuously blew loose. The truck had to be returned before morning; so by the time we made it to Omro, unloaded everything, and dropped that weak machine off it was 2:30am. 

Monday was all about rest. 

Tuesday, Shi my nieces and I went to a nature center in Monona. While the kids learned about native dancing and the significance of wildlife, I went shopping. I found a nice MSR water filtration pump on sale--40% off! Anyways, no waterborne illness for this guy. I finally received my visa number, but the visa application website is so confusing and tedious. Two lists with overlapping items, none of which I will actually need are listed in different places. So, I called Wednesday morning to set up an appointment and interview. This will take place Friday in Chicago--what a huge pain in the ass. After riding On The Road in my father-in-law's 49 Hudson I became entirely too restless to hang around my brother's commune, so I road Shi's bike to the mall and bought some sweet professional attire (at highly discounted prices) for the new job. This is going to be great! PS. Please Feel Free To Post Comments, Questions, and Snide Remarks
