Setting up for the semester

Safely back in Texas - came back after just a week at home with the intention of getting lots of work done before the semester starts.  Got extremely ill my last few days and the drive here was horrible, and I almost collapsed when I got back. 

However, I have managed to buy and assemble a desk, rearrange my apartment, and unpack all my belongings.  Unfortunately I'm still quite sick and have decided to put off going into work until Monday, in an attempt to let my body throw off this bug.

So that's the new setup.  Need a few bookshelves around for books and DVDs and hiding wires and all that sort of thing.  But that can wait.  My most pressing need right now is a table and some chairs so I can have people over for dinner, but that may have to wait until I get paid come October.

Now my plan is to lie around for the next few days, letting myself heal, and trying to not overdo.  Although I really need to vacuum.  And lying around doing nothing is really boring.  Maybe it'll be okay to work on my novels and try and find an agent for the finished one?

Who knows.  I miss my family already.  Growing up is such a pain in the bum!
