26 More Days

We have almost survived our first weekend without WS. We've talked to him everyday and it hasn't been too bad yet. It was more difficult on Thursday and Friday because I didn't have any help with getting E to school and the morning madness. This weekend has actually been pretty busy with errands and working around the house. E has been such a good sport about everything! Next week will be tough because it is my last week of school and that's always a busy time for me. Also, E is coming down with a cold and I really can't miss work next week. Usually WS could take time off to stay with her. Hopefully, her cold is just a minor one. I'm also a little sad that we won't be seeing WS on Father's Day, which is next Sunday.

Surprisingly, one of the most difficult things has been not having TV. We decided to stop our satellite service when WS left to save money. I thought I really didn't watch TV and E is okay to watch videos. She has plenty. I thought that I'd be fine with it, but it has been difficult. I miss catching up on the news and I feel a little bit out of touch with everything. I have found a few ways to watch TV on the Internet that have been helpful. The website hulu shows a lot of TV shows and I have been able to watch the local news. I really wanted to watch the England vs US World Cup match yesterday, so I watched it on a Spanish language website. I didn't really understand the announcers, but at least I got to see the match.

WS got moved into our new place in CO yesterday. He had a lot of help from his parents, stepbrother, and a friend. He didn't move any of our furniture with him. We had initially planned to rent furniture, but one of his friends had a lot of furniture in storage. He let WS borrow everything! I haven't seen it yet, but WS says that it's really nice stuff and he feels that he is pretty well set up in his new place. He goes to orientation at his new job tomorrow! He won't officially start in his new position until Wednesday. He was telling me that the weather in Denver has been less than great since he's come into town on Friday evening. He has seen a lot of rain and some major hail. I do remember it hailing pretty often when I lived there before.

Our escrow seems to be moving along in a normal way so far. It's hard to tell in the early stages if it will all work out. The inspection is set for Wednesday afternoon. Our last inspection went well, so this one will probably be the same.
