Haha thanks for all the commiseration!

The truck FINALLY arrived 6 hours late. But everything got off and into the apartment just fine, and so far everything is in good shape. I've got all but 10 boxes of books unpacked (my bookshelves are at my parents - yay for free furniture!) and most of the stuff hidden away somewhere. The smoothest part of this whole thing was my sofa getting delivered from the factory yesterday - they said between 10-1 and they showed up at 9:45. I was so impressed and so relieved to finally have something go right!

And, since someone asked, no I won't be changing my username. I'm still in Texas afterall. Houston is super overwhelming right now (I'm originally from Katy which was a small suburb on the west side of Houston but is now a ginormous suburb) and navigating around inside the city is nothing like the wide open spaces of west Texas. But I'll make it. Work is only a few miles away and I can walk to about 15 restaurants from my apartment and more are in biking distance.

And last night I slept for 10 hours - the most sleep I've had in almost 2 weeks. I was getting about 5-6 due to stress and now I feel so much better.
