Mucho Good Vibes Needed...

Did you tell him you moved....and where?

He came, he saw, he left. Dad pulled out about 4:00 this morning. It was a pleasant, if brief and none too intimate visit. Not that our relationship has ever been terribly intimate or close. Interference with the business of moving out and moving in was fairly minimal. I guess we lost about a half day of efforts over it all. Still got the fish tanks moved and my computer desk and computer set up, complete w/new wireless connection installed. The family reunion was also a brief affair, by necessity. None of my favorite cousins were there, but I did see a couple of relatives that I had not seen since I was 12 or 13.

This whole house-buying and moving process has been fraught with odd coincidences and things that would have seemed unique or strange even if we weren't going through all of this. I find it to be something of affirmation that we are doing the right thing, as though the Powers That Be are coaxing us along with little clues and hints somehow. With each succeeding day of being in the new place, I become more and more certain that this is a place we were meant to be for some reason, and that my time at the old place was well and long over. The overarching sense of rightness associated with our new home is palpable and ever-present, and it is a satisfying and encouraging feeling for me.

Now, if we can just get done and rid of the old place in the next ten days...
