The DMV!!

     So now I am in the DMV, which stands for D.C., Maryland and Virginia, a larger and busier metropolitan area. This time I had to make the 13 hour trip back home all by myself. I packed up ALL my stuff, packed my truck and drove home for the weekend.

Crossing the Mississippi River again on my way HOME!

     

Welcome to VA!!

     I arrived here Sunday evening to stay in a hotel because my apartment had no furniture until the next day. The hotel was nice except the business area as they called it consisted of an e-computer without Microsoft Office or its own printer - NOT COOL!.
     The first couple of days at work was spent as usual in orientation of all kinds and tons of computer based training. Talk about sleepy days. Thankfully week one went by and I was finally into orientation and actually in a room. This was my opportunity to learn the computer charting system - EPIC. That was really important because I had not previously worked with it anywhere else.
     On day two after my arrival I was finally able to unpack my truck and move all my junk in on the second floor. Thank God my apartment is on the front - closest apartment to the stairs. Very modern appliances - all stainless steel, beautiful countertops and cabinets. The furniture is so so, with possibly the world's most uncomfortable sofa EVA! But get this - what do realty properties have against overhead lighting? Other than the kitchen and dining room this joint has no overhead lighting! I had to request a floor lamp from my travel company, otherwise I would have been living in a dungeon for 3 months!

     Again, I had mapped out a couple of churches in the area - so I was excited for my first week to attend. Extremely large congregation. AWESOME WORD!. Enough said!

LOVE the kitchen!
