Hello. Trying to shake the cobwebs from my brain. People think I am joking when I tell them I get up at 4:30 in the morning to teach classes. But if I didn't, I wouldn't have the requisite energy needed to get through these things. This morning is a prime example of that. In two hours when class starts I will be fine, but right now I am just a blurry eyed mess.

Class was interesting yesterday. I had two students scheduled but one of them had audio issues, then she had keyboard troubles and then she just failed to return at all after lunch. I have no idea if she will be coming back today for the second part. She missed quite a bit yesterday and it will be hard to recover. Multiple emails sent had no response. Oh well. Not much I can do if you don't bother communicating. The other student was fine. He had no troubles with the materials nor did he have any technical problems. We finished up around 2:20 and called it a day.

After I caught up on some file transfers, watched Last Week Tonight and Humans. Made a nice pork loin for dinner. We watched some TV and then I finished up some file conversions I was working on. Went off to bed around 10.

We are both feeling trepidation at being back here. It's put B in a funk and I am bored out of my mind. I don't have any road trips planned until mid-August and there's just nothing to do here. We are both antsy to be on our way to our new adventure but it's six weeks away. A long six weeks at that.

I did talk to the movers yesterday. They are coming on Wednesday to give us an official not to exceed quote. I really want to make this work because I can't be lifting and moving things with my leg. At some point I still need to figure out how and when to have surgery. It's been almost a year since the original injury and nothing has really improved. Mostly I have been learning to live with pain. I know I am damaging it further every day but what else can I do? The Go Fund Me made $900 which helped pay off the MRI but it's not enough. I just paid them another $420 on that and still have a balance. The thought of coming up with another $3000 to move is stressing me out. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure as hell makes things easier.
