An Introduction

My first full day as a new resident of Tennessee was mostly a good day, though not what most people would consider exciting. We built a desk, or rather reassembled one, without the proper tools or any instructions. It was grueling and were both going to be sore for a bit, but totally worth it and I’m excited to be writing this blog from it right now.

We also got other less exciting errands done like restocking the fridge and the pantry. I’ll be keeping the Amazon driver busy for a while as I keep hitting “place order” and then discovering something new I need or want.

One thing that happened yesterday is not sitting well with me. My attempt to schedule a pedicure did not go as planned. I found a place here in town through Facebook and scheduled it through their online app. It was accepted but then a couple of hours later it was canceled.

 That has happened to me before, but shortly after the cancellation, I was contacted by the business to reschedule. That did not happen, and I keep wondering if that is because they looked me up on Facebook and didn’t like what they saw.

Perhaps I’m just being paranoid, but it feels ick, so now I’ll have to find a salon in another town.

I hate the idea of having to drive all the way to Chattanooga to get a pedicure, but I’ll just make a whole day of it if I have to…visit an attraction, have lunch or cocktails, go thrifting, or to the bookstore.

Best not to dwell on that for now. I have way too much to do to worry about something I don’t have control over anyway. So on to happier things-like introducing you all to my new cat:

This is Silas. He’s my new office mate and I couldn’t be more thrilled. He is so sweet, though I am not so sure how impressed he is with me. He does seem to appreciate ear rubs. I look forward to us getting to know each other better.

Time to get started on my first workday from my new office. Be well my friends.
