Why I hate moving, Part 1 of 512

I hate moving with a passion. Actually, there is one small, important silver lining to almost all voluntary moves, and that is the reality of starting fresh somewhere new, even if it’s just down the street. Therefore, the worst kind of move is the move back home or to a place in which one has physically already lived, because there’s nothing new to look forward to. Anyway, I digress…

There isn’t a finger on my hands that isn’t either cut or has the cuticle painfully torn. Rather than make myself sound ignorant in anatomy by saying “I am sore in muscles I didn’t know I had,” I’ll just say I hurt all over. I partially twisted my right ankle on Monday evening, and the compensation that’s happened ever since has made both legs (knees too) hurt. I feel like an old man…it’s bilateral knee replacement time so I can kick ass in shuffleboard at the local assisted living center.

All I have to do now is a few details at the old place and turn in the keys. Cable/Internet (hence this post) was on right on time, as was the phone. The new place is having some maintenence problems, but nothing that can’t be fixed in a few days. I just found out that we are the first renters for this owner since he just bought the house, so while there’s more wrong than we would have thought given how nice it and the neighborhood are, they are willing to take care of everything because it’s a discovery phase for them too. All in all we’re very happy with the promise of new things to come.

Well, that’s all I wanted to say for now…just updating y’all that we’re alive and kicking, still in GDL and hopefully going to be hitting the road Friday now. There’s no need to kill ourselves to get home to Texas +/-1 day when we’re going to be there 3 weeks for sure. You know there’ll be yet more “Tales from the Mexican Highways” posts when I get back, but until then, I might a post or two by the weekend, but most of my energy is on finishing the move process and then packing to get out of here. Be safe, everyone travelling, and I’ll write more soon. Cheers!
