We've done a lot of things in those two months.
Of course, there's a lot more to do. I am trying my best not to get overwhelmed. I need to focus and stick to my plans.
- We bought new furniture: kitchen table and chairs, living room couch and chairs, bedside tables, Sleep Number bed.
- We found a primary care physician and other doctors.
- I got my Maryland driver's license and registration, including a Maryland Safety Inspection.
- We got a new TV and cellphones when old ones broke.
We did that even with a five day break to return to Connecticut and five days for Jeff in the hospital when I did virtually nothing then.

I underestimated how long it would take me to acclimate myself to a new area. I'm still using GPS to get around, but less often. I've been frustrated with the various grocery stores. It's been hard to find things/brands I like. It's getting easier; having kandykakes readily available helps.
We were here at Halloween and the neighborhood is into decorating. Even a part of the trail/boardwalk was decorated. Unfortunately, Jeff was in the hospital, so we weren't up for celebrating.
Christmas decorations are pretty big too. I did our Christmas decorating on Sunday. It's pretty sparse. We decided not to buy a tree this year. In January, we trashed our old shedding artificial tree and don't want to deal with getting a new one. Hey, we need furniture. But if there are good post-Christmas sales, we'll keep our options open.
Looking ahead to ringing in the New Year in our new home.
