I got myself moved down to Houston over the weekend and Monday with the assistance of my folks, and thankfully with no mishaps. The truck I was given was a 16' one, not a 10' one like I'd ordered, so I had plenty of extra space in the cargo box. After getting my folks to the airport I started the process of unpacking and doing the multitude of errands involved in resettling someplace urban like this.
There are already things I miss about home, for sure. But, it has been alright here, and I've probably not suffered any more than my usual fair share of trepidations upon embarking on something new. I know I have to make a long-term home here, and I think it will be doable. It's mostly going to be a mind game, like so much of life is it seems.
A few niceties of the experience thus far are that I seem to be able to navigate pretty well, though I haven't been here much since an internship during the summer of 2000. My apartment is pretty close to a lot of the places I've needed or will need to visit to take care of the relocation errands. The public library nearby is pretty big/extensive. I will have a succinct commute to work, as well. My apartment is also very livable, though I'm going to have to deal with some paranoia regarding mold in the swampy environment here. All in all (knock on wood), the process of becoming a Texas resident is going pretty decently so far.
