Job Starts Tomorrow!
New job starts tomorrow! I'm excited!
I did a trial run of the bus-to-Metro commute last week and it doesn't seem too onerous--it took a little over an hour each way, and wasn't hideously crowded. The only thing I'm not sure about is how it will work if I have to work late, or on the weekend. The northern Virginia extension buses are a different system than MetroBus, and have wonky hours.
I'm going to have to get used to getting up early again though--I've gotten out of the habit.
I do wish I were a little healthier--I'm on my 2nd round of antibiotics for bronchitis and I've been sick for a month. I'm functional, but I feel like an easily-fatigued shadow of my normal self.
I'm also hoping that I'll be able to get down to visit my family, which is by no means guaranteed. Normally it wouldn't be a thing, since I was just there for a whole week around Thanksgiving, but my 90-year-old grandfather is coming up from FL with my aunt and uncle and I don't get to see them nearly as often as I'd like.

I hope so too! I'm on my 2nd round of antibiotics and today I felt like about 70% of my normal self which is the best I've been yet. I do occasionally feel like my chest is caving in, but as one of my RL geeky friends pointed out, that's better than feeling like something is going to burst out. ;)
Totally unrelated to anything, but--could you send me your RL address? I have something to send you.
