Blue Artichoke Moves In
I reached DC safely, after about 15 hours in the driver's seat, too many gas station meals (remember: no fast food this year!), one night spent with the bedbugs at a Best Western, one terrible meal at Bob Evans, and three gas fill-ups. The weather was overcast (ideal driving conditions) with some very light rain that required only intermittent wipes from the windshield wipers. The trip was uneventful.
I've unloaded my car and set up my desk. I still haven't settled into my living quarters yet, but hope to today. I start work tomorrow morning!
I'm in sort of an unusual position here, where I once again have roommates, and my roommates are not only my brother and his girlfriend, but also my bosses. And I'll be living where I work. Huge lifestyle change.
Don't expect much food blogging from me for the next several months. I don't cook a lot in other people's kitchens and, although I plan to reorganize the kitchen, all my favorite baking pans and cooking utensils are still in Missouri. I do hope to do some cooking, but it probably won't be on the scale that I'm used to. However, cooking is my favorite hobby/stress reliever, so if this job tries to take over my life, I might use cooking as a way to regain my time. We'll just see what happens.
