After 6 months of roaring fun in Power School, only 4 hours separate me from flying across Eastern Texas into Austin. I've been waiting for this day for many weeks. In the same fashion that I've been living for entire year, it's going to be an exhaustingly engaged 10 days, whether it's work or play!
There hasn't been much downtime since last Friday when I graduated with my peers from Nuclear Power School in Charleston, SC. I am reminded of how much I dislike moving. From the packing to cleaning to saying goodbye, it's just no fun. Getting on the road is usually where it starts to get exciting, finding new territory and beginning new. Unfortunately, this trip came with a little twist in the form of Pawlee spontaneously jumping out of the passenger window of my car on I-95 while I was cruising at 72 mph! Long dramatic story shortened, she survived it and I found her in the woods 30 minutes later able to walk! I took her to the vet, had her checked out, and I'll be dammed if she isn't as good as new a day and a half later. Her pads were roughed up and some claws ripped off by the pavement, but she was running up and down my new stairs over and over just last night. Unbelievable!
Saratoga Springs looks like a very inviting neighborhood. It's by far the smallest community in which I've lived. I'm excited to meet everyone. We'll see how much time there is for anything outside of work come the 14th. Probably not much as that will become focus number 1. But for now, it's off to Texas!

Jon, Pawlee is blessed to have you as her servant!
