Re: We made it!
Thanks everyone!! I go see my new Oncologist this afternoon - hoping it goes well!!
We are taking our time unpacking, basically the kitchen is the only room mostly completed. The hubs has been doing most of the unpacking, I had fun using a rolling office chair in the kitchen while I was helping him
This move has worn me out big time, starting to get some energy back but I have a feeling it is going to be a few weeks before I am back to what has become normal.
