from my journal: 3pm, Monday, 2.4.2002
In my house. MY house! Finally! Managed to be here by 10 am! With Kahzy. I was waiting with the cab driver, calling Kahz and finally he showed up.
He’s Scared of the geese-as am I.
Rupert brought me atable and two chairs… and here starts the real acclimation! Getting used to the kids who prefer to stare in at me than play ball! Kahz is off exploring. The twins outside are enjoying watching what I do. I feel like I should be entertaining them! …The boys all sitting across the yard watching me…I am exciting, I’m sure!
My house is organized into manageable chaos. The shower is COLD, COLD!
Weird feeling in my toes. This is what was supposed to happen after swearing-in. This is a better place than Placencia. A different energy…
the sun shines in my front porch. I’m lying on my bed.
I have to go to a meeting tonight…I will catch the 5:30 bus into San Antonio to Maria’s.
Now the boys are all over my porch sitting at my doorstep, peering in windows.
