Feeling better this week after settling into our condo, not that it isn’t small, just feeling a bit more comfortable, but I think it is still far off from complete acceptance of the space. We have a guest coming in late October and he had to make hotel reservations because of how tiny our place is. We would love to be able to host guests, but it is definitely going to be a shock for friends and family to see how small it truly is.
It is booked; I am flying back to St. Louis mid September for 5 days. I need a break from New England. It will be exciting and refreshing to come home for a visit and catch up with clients and friends. I plan on doing hair almost everyday I am there.
This week the weather is cooling off, so it is really beautiful here right now. I hope we get a chance to get to the beach before the summer ends. Jason is bringing Pru (our Great Dane) along with my car next week, so things are really going to feel like home. I spent 3 hours at the RMV (Registry Of Motor Vehicles) yesterday just getting a drivers license, so within 7-10 business days I should be receiving my Massachusetts drivers license. Jay went today and got the car registered and got his license. Then we have one day to get it inspected, so we can park it in our neighborhood. I was explaining to a friend the other day how incredibly ruthless the parking is here, not just finding a spot, but getting tickets and being towed. I am not exaggerating, it is the worst. We live two blocks from the ball park and on game day the tow trucks line up just waiting to cart off cars. On move in day I rented a Zipcar (hourly car rental) and was unloading boxes outside our new condo after about two minutes a tow truck was waiting for me to leave the car double parked, just so he could tow me. There are more stories, but I am trying to keep these blogs shorter.

Take care and I can’t wait to get to St. Louis.
