Hey Steve,

Welcome to your new home!
 
Bad traffic, 
Broken toe, 
Two down; 
Only one to go!

After that you should be good for the duration.

I hope the new job works out as planned and life is good.

Subject: [TN] NTC: I made it to Allentown!

Hi All!

It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I would give an
update. I
made the 1,252-mile trek from Tulsa to Allentown, PA for my new job. The
trip was pretty uneventful. I loaded my U-haul truck up and my PT
Cruiser on
a trailer, and headed east. The only traffic problem I had to speak of
was
when I went through the Indianapolis, Indiana area. They were doing
construction on a portion of the interstate that had the traffic down to
one
lane for about 5-miles and that had things backed-up terribly. It was
backed-up about 5-miles before the contruction, it took almost 2-hours
to
get through that mess. The only other negative thing is that U-haul
trucks
are not known for having the best gas milage, especially when towing a
car
trailer. I burned through almost $400 in gas on the trip.

I arrived in Allentown and checked into a hotel to rest a day, to
prepare to
unload everything into my new apartment. Even that went pretty well. I
had
scheduled unload help through U-haul, they contact helpers in your area
if
you want them, an you get two people at $50 an hour for both of them. I
contracted them for two hours and figured that it would be $100 well
spent
after driving for 1,200 miles. They showed-up on time and had the truck
unloaded in about an hour and a half. Now the real work for me was
ahead,
getting everything out of boxes and put away, and getting all my stuff
arranged inside my new nest.

Pretty boring stuff huh?

Well, I'm typing out this email this evening after my return from a
local
urgent care clinic. Here's the story. I had my living room my furniture
arranged where I wanted it, and started to hanging my paintings and
pictures
on the wall. I was carrying one of the larger ones to a place where I
was
about to hang it (I was in my stocking feet), and managed to hit a couch
leg
with my little toe on my right foot. After a couple of expletitives, the
pain subsided and I finished hanging the painting. I put a few more
pictures
up, opened some more boxes and put some more stuff away. But I felt that
something wasn't quite right with my little toe. It didn't really hurt
that
bad, but it didn't feel quite right. So I sat down and pulled my sock
off,
and this is what I saw:

I had never broken a toe before, but I've never had one turn that
purple, so
I thought I'd better get it checked out. After a couple of x-rays, the
doctor confirmed it."Yep, your toe is broken" he said, "but there's not
a
whole lot we can do for it other than buddy-tape it to the toe next to
it."
So he told me how to buddy tape it, gave me some Tylenol #3, and told me
to
wear thick soled shoes for the next few weeks to keep it from flexing
while
it heals. 

Great. Pick-up and move 1,200 miles, get here, and break my friggen' toe
hanging a picture. Moral of the story: Don't be a klutz like me.
Thankfully,
it doesn't hurt much at all and I can still get around fairly well.
Won't be
running any 100-yard dashes for a while, but I'll be fine.

Steve
