June 29

One year in Raleigh as of today. A year ago today I was busy throwing the last few things into the pod and chasing the kitty round the yard. Though there was a few minutes of panic that morning, the move went well, and smoothly.I am not looking forward to next year when a move is likely inevitable.

The temp when I came down this morning was 78 (it is 5:31), and we expect a high of 90. Real summer weather, the only down side is the drought is apparently building once more, and we are likely going to have to engage in major water saving practices soon.

The sun is close enough to risen that I can see the jet's vapor trail, though the rest of the sky is featureless, to bright for stars, to dark for features.

I had planned on staying in bed a bit longer this morning, but the neighbors decided to come outside and discuss the wonderful party, they yell and chatter waking me up. I finally gave up, turned my light on and got up. Of course as soon as I did, they shut up. Next Friday I will need to consider not doing any sleeping.

I have been happy enough through much of my time here. The ac and heating were funky, we never did get screens for the windows or a new front door, but it is a nice place. Large, airy, and comfortable. I am sitting on the back deck enjoying the morning, and that is enough to make the place feel like home.
