How's everyone been over the past few days? Sorry I've been MIA. I've been moving over the weekend. I'm allllmost done but I sure do have stuff strung out all over the place.

I found a very cute house on Highland Avenue - so I got to stay in my beloved south side, Johnson City. I was NOT happy about the prospect of moving to North JC.

Glad you found something you are happy with Jab, that is good news! I hope you had some friends help you with the move? I know you said you back was bothering you, would hate to have the move set back your recovery on that.

I'm very lucky to have some great family and friends that packed and moved me, actually. Right now I'm pretty much disabled. The neurosurgeon wants to try a few more things, but if they're not successful I'm looking at back surgery. This isn't supposed to happen to 21-year-olds.
