Moving to Tucson

Life is changing so fast.

On Friday I am at CBS radio, answering phones, opening the door, talking to the radio hosts on WCCO, and drinking my Caribou.

On Tuesday, I'm on a plane, moving to Tucson, Arizona. I packed my bags the night before, and left at 4 in the morning. I took some Tylenol pm so I could sleep on the plane. It worked. I slept, and only cried a little bit of it. I took all my pictures off the wall, I emptied my bookshelves, and left my family.

Josh was excited....
Tuesday I sat in the Tucson airport till Josh finished class, then I spent the rest of my day with the love of my life. Needless to say, I was still quite sleepy, and took a 2 hour nap while he did homework. We didn't even watch tv :) That was nice.

I'm here till Friday, a week from the time my CBS job ended. And then, I enter even more unknown territory. The Smarts Family will be letting me move in with them. What a last name. It fits with what I know about them. An old married couple, the husband an engineer, and the wife a stay at home wife. Smart....

The only other thing I know makes me want to run away...
It makes the living situation almost unbearable...
I don't even want to whisper the words.
 But, here goes,

they don't drink coffee.... They  drink tea...... Who on earth drinks tea in America? Really? And in the morning? not even afternoon tea. It's breakfast tea. As I was packing I thought, nope, I am not bringing my french press. Everyone at least has a coffee maker. Nope, not these people. So I just might have mom ship me that french press. Because I am no tea drinker. I never will be. Maybe a sip here and there with my dainty sandwiches and petit fours, but not a ritual of weak flavored water. I won't survive this...

Friday I move to the Smarts....
No coffee, no Josh, and no job yet. So many changes.  One week in my life.
