What a long, and at most times boring drive. The scenery was nice enough, but not having anyone to talk to for that long was annoying at best...I wouldnt do well stranded on a desserted island. Nothing really exciting happened on the trip, mostly uneventful. Only really interesting thing I saw was a windmill farm between L.A. and Palm springs, those things are huge, and there were literally hundreds of them. This picture does it no justice, but its all I got.
I took some pictures with my camera phone, but none of them turned out good enough to post :(
It's hot..duh. 106 is the highest its been since I've been here, but adjusting to it pretty good so far...I think. My Dad and I went and played golf yesterday at a pretty sweet course that he's seen from the freeway and wanted to try out. I hadnt played in almost a year, but didnt do to badly considering...especially since he only beat me by 3 strokes, I can live with that. Got to see some cool wildlife out on the course, prairie dogs and a roadrunner. Along with a hawk that was flying low overhead waiting for one of the furry little prairie dogs to lower its gaurd just a touch. So far the only ugly thing I've seen was a black widow spider over at my Dads house out on the back porch, but...a size 12 nike was more than it could handle, so it now resides on the underside of my shoe.
Dad of course put me to work the very next day after I got here. Its good for me in the long run, but I think the drive and the heat is finally catching up to me, I dont think I'm doing anything tomorrow, other than sitting in the apartment and maybe...a very big maybe, unpacking a box or 2. I've pretty much made the decision that we are going to start looking for a house ASAP, I think Crystal will to once she sees how small the apartment is. Its hard going from your own home back to apartment living, I havnt heard a neighbor yet really, but I can tell you I wont like them when I do.
My dad, Joy (from now on I'm just going to call her Mom) and I all went to a Diamondbacks game tonight, thats baseball for those of you who dont know. It's easily been over 20 years since I've been to a major league baseball game, was pretty cool. I didnt know who the players were cause I dont follow it that much, but I think thats going to change, now that I'm going to have nights and weekends off, I'd love to get back to watching and following more major league sports, Baseball, Football, Basketball...all of which there are teams for here in the Phoenix area, so will be fun to go and watch them in person too, especially when Elliot gets older, that will be alot of fun. To top it off, they won tonight after a very shaky start, they almost looked like our softball team haha.
The work schedule this week looks pretty busy, but I'm hoping that will keep my mind busy too and not let me dwell on the fact that I keep coming home to an empty house, I hate that. I even miss getting woken up in the middle of the night by Elliot, now I just wake up thinking something is wrong cause I dont hear him..ugh, only 6 more days and they will be down here suffering in hell with me...err, I mean enjoying the sunshine :)
I'm exhausted, so I'm going to bed now. With any luck, I can get caught up on some sleep tonight. I may not even climb out of bed to go to the bathroom, and might not get up til after noon...yeah right, see you at 6 am.
