I've been offline for a while...my internet was just hooked up today.

In the meantime, I've rented a cute little old house in downtown Manhattan, Kansas. It's .8 miles from the strip of bars and two blocks from the grocery store. If the walk weren't so perilous due to snow right now, it'd be walkable for me...easily bike-able in winter!

Anyway, so after the appendectomy crapsky that went down, there wasn't much new or changing in my life. I've been doing a lot of inprocessing at work and otherwise getting unpacked and settled in. It started snowing, which sucks miserably, and my truck got stuck twice in a matter of minutes. I'm getting new tires tomorrow and spending half of my dwindling resources (I forgot to put in for a travel advance, so all that awesome time I spent in Austin, the gas here, the rent and utilities set up...I paid out of pocket, which normally the Army pays).

So...there's that. Coming up, I have MJ's wedding at West Point and I start actual work next Tuesday. Should be a good time for everyone! (the wedding, not the work).
