Waiting for that smooth transition

It's been almost 3 weeks since i left Sydney for the U.S of A with 2 large bags, a hyperthyroid cat & a rabbit in tow. After several pit stops in L.A to drop off the rabbit and than Long Island, N.Y. to drop off the cat, I'm left now with just my bags, in Maryland, and Tabbert of course. Not quite settled yet but i cannot complaint, Tabbert's parents have opened up their lovely home to us.

My biggest fear about this move was whether the pets would make it. Sadly, that fear became a reality when Zoe, my precious little bunny, passed away on the 23 Feb 06, only a week after we dropped her off in L.A to stay with some friends. The irony (or rather the regret) is that it was Fleur i was worried about with all her hyperthyroid issues, when it should have been Zoe. I still wonder what i could have or should have done, but i realise there's no point going there now. I miss her.

What can i say about living with the folks in Maryland, other than, anyone over 30 should never live with their parents. I'm sure that's what they're thinking too. Kidding.... it's not that bad. Mom is really quite a good cook so we decided joining a gym is a good idea. Living in landlock Maryland doesn't quite provide us with the sun & surf lifestyle we've been used to but it's not without it's benefits. There are some decent ski slopes just a short drive away. Tab & I scoped out one about 2.5 hours away just last week called Wisp. Similar to our movies version of tight arse Tuesday, the ski lifts are half price on Wednesdays, which we have promptly named Wicked Arse Wednesday. (yes we thought we were really smart too, thinking that one up all by ourselves). Once i figure out how to work out the intricacies of this blog site, i'll post up some pictures. At some point i'll also put up something about little Zoe, in memory of her.

This weekend we're off to Rochester, which is near the border of Canada to pick up our car. Tab's brother has been 'looking after' it while he has been away from the States. It's going to be interesting driving the car back down to Maryland (it's takes freaking 10 hours, and that's if it doesn't snow). Wish us luck..
