Well so far it ain't been a picnic

So how long Have I been talking about going to New York City? A long time my friends....3 years at least. And finally last Saturday it happened....I arrived.

Yet, with all my planning and dreaming things did not go so smoothly as I would have liked. So, sit back and I will fill you in on my week.....

Arrive sat and cannot get into my apartment or even the building b/c the brokers did not set up the key exchange with the super of the building....2 hours later I get in the apartment.
The apartment is NOT what I was expecting AT ALL, but I was determined not to let that get in the way of enjoying the expience. On sunday I decided to unpack and then things started going downhill. I found body hair in the drawers, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty and my bedroom door would not lock, but still I hung on to my wits and steamed ahead. I even went exploring down to Union Square.
THEN Sunday night I could not fall asleep..I tossed and turned and the "Harding I want to go home" feeling started arising, and when I awoke I found that during the night bed bugs had bitten me on my legs, feet and arms. When I got in the shower the warm water lasted about 3 secs and THEN I lost it.
I called Cindy to get her uncle's number to see if he knew a way for me to get out of the apartment lease.
After I got off my first day of work I packed my bags and went to Cindy's unlce's apartment to stay until I figured out what to do.
Well, it is now saturday and I am still here. My broker has another apartment but it will not be ready until May 27th. So, I am not sure if I am staying here until then or not. Everything is in kind of a limbo.

I have been so stressed out this week that I did not eat a complete meal until Thurday night and my face looks like a pizza.

So, I need prays for peace and joy. Peace so I don't always have a nervous stomach and Joy so I can enjoy my time here.

I am going to be honest here (Judy that is for you)......I am ready to be done with all this school stuff. I am ready to be in a place where I am settled in life and know surrounded by friends and family. I am ready to go to Honduras. I miss my freinds and I miss Terry and Margaret and the friends I made in Florida (I am homesick for 2207 Arden).
Don't get me wrong...I am not regreting coming..i just know it is going to be a challange mentally.

Tune in for the ongoing saga of where is Anna going to live this week.
