I’ve been in the U.S. a week now and I’m slowly adjusting. Pluto and I have jet lag, but we’re managing well enough. I’ve been busy cleaning, organizing, and decluttering my house. My mom and I are gearing up for a big yard sale on Saturday. Need some quick cash. I’m on the hunt for a decent used car and I have to figure out a new heating and cooling system for the house. Major charges are just around the corner. Sigh…
What I miss about Melbourne:
* My partner! He’s lives and works there. Humprh.
* Familiarity (e.g., routine, dog park, day trips).
* Public transportation.
* Cooler weather (the humidity is a bit rough here in Michigan right now).
What I like about being stateside so far:
* My mom and the cats.
* Taking care of business.
* Choices, choices, choices (hello tons of cereal choices at the grocery store!)
Oh and on Sunday, my mom and I went to the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival. We had fun walking around, people-watching, and listening to music.
