A New Start in Doha

Well it is the beginning of the month and I am in a new country with a new job. First, I made it safely over. My flight was nice. There was a delay at Ohare to fix some mechanical problems. That always worries me when I am about to get on a plane. Ivana came to pick me up at the airport, and I got to meet her fiance. I haven’t done anything yet except sleep.

My place is great. It is so big. Three bedrooms, a maids quarters, lots of bathrooms, a kitchen and living/dining room. It is furnished and already has some basic supplies, utensils and dishes, and some food to get me by for a while. There are also a lot of switches everywhere. I have no idea what all of them go to. Nothing happens when I switch them on and off. I have a lot of decorating to make the place my own, but I’ll have a few years to get used to it.

Turns out that the US fell apart when I left. The stock market fell 777 points for its biggest drop ever. I doubt it had anything to do with me, but who knows?

I’ll probably need a few more days to get adjusted to the time difference, but I am hoping to do some exploring soon.

Moving Sucks

I have been moving the rest of my stuff over from the old place. I realize I have way too much junk. I need to get rid of most of it. I hope that I’ll be able to finish up tomorrow. Right now I am just exhausted.

Where ya been?

Sorry for the blog neglect. Here is a post of all the crazy things that have been happening in my life.

Virginia moved up here. Some of her friends and Felper helped out. It wasn’t too bad, but I was glad to have help.

I had a weekend of work down in Champaign. It went really well. I like working with an organization that is doing great things.

Some of Virginia’s (and my) work friends threw her a baby shower. It was so great. There were so many good people there. I am glad that she has so many great friends. Also got a lot of useful stuff (and cute outfits) for when the baby comes.

While my mom was at the baby shower, I spent time with my dad. It was nice to talk to him for a while. We went for a walk around Meadowbrook. It was good to get out and walk.

Continued with writing sketches and getting ready for my improv class performance. It is going to be fun. It just feels better than last one. It is on Sunday if anyone wants to see me on the Second City stage.

Virginia found a great health care place. I am very relieved that she is at a quality place with nice people.

Still have more painting, moving, and unpacking to do. I’ll post more later.
