Getting Closer

The movers came Tuesday to move everything so we celebrated Cinco de Mayo away from the empty house in a wine bar since we figured it wouldnt be too crowded. We are still here for another week and Chris is getting bored to death with no TV, so he has been spending time at Legends watching hocky and drinking beer. I am guessing he will grow a large beer belly before we leave. The dogs on the other hand love the empty house and have been using the bedrooms as their wrestling arenas. This has been my desk/office from 2AM - 2PM all week (I am still working Mexico City hours right now). Not very good for the posture or back problems, but it will do for now.

For those of you wondering, the reason we moved the place early was so we could get the stuff to Mexico quicker, but we got a call yesterday saying that the box wont leave until May 20th, so we actually could have kept everything until we left. At least this way it is one less thing for me to stress about.
We also found a buyer for the car and as of noon today we are car-less. The bikes are on their way to Mexico, so the only form of transportation we really have is the ole feet. I will be running everywhere along with the morning run with the dogs, so the mileage this week may be more than it ever has been. Hopefully the chiropracter, my hair dresser, and the nice people at the Jamba Juice packet pickup dont mind me showing up sweating in full lulu garb. At least the clothes will look cute. I am not sure what Chris will do since he is still retired from running. I looked at his Garmin yesterday and the last run was on 12/14/08. True to his word he retired after the Honolulu Marathon. I am really hoping that he starts running again soon because he is pacing around the house constantly asking me what he can do. He is completely lost without is TV, WII and XBOX.
