Friday night I slept well in Alpine, I usually catch up on sleep there. Even having a car up there, I don’t go and do much, I just sleep. That’s precisely what I did this trip. I called to check on Amanda when I was up. She was doing good and not much was going…

As I left to head home, surprisingly, I remembered everything I needed for work. I was worried it’d leave my grip, what railroaders call their luggage, but I remembered it. I forgot my work jeans, though, but I’m thankful I had a pair at home. They were waiting to go to the cleaners, so I…

I can’t hit the transit just right, I waited a bit for the train last night. I should just quit being lazy and walk the 10 minutes to the transit center. Waiting on a train is the story of my life anyway, why add more of it now!  When I returned to the apartment, I…

As I left the hospital last night, I’d planned to catch the train to the transit center. I heard it pull up when I was about halfway to the stop. If it weren’t for the cables in the middle of the road, I could have just hopped on the platform and made it. The following…

As I left last night to catch my bus, I was afraid to wait for the one close by with its late night schedule of every 30 minutes. So I walked the TMC transit center, a 10 minute walk according to Apple Maps, but my long legs shaved two off of that. Still eight minutes…

This morning I set my alarm 30 minutes later than I thought I did, so I had no time to spare. I got ready and checked the bus text line, it showed a bus would be there six minutes past the hour. I could make it so I took off. I checked halfway there, it…

Sunday, after I woke, I went to the door to get some packages. City living comes with 4-8 am next day Amazon deliveries. When I stepped outside, my phone dinged, it was Amanda texting that she was going to bed from the night before. No wonder she was tired when I called her the night…

Saturday, when I got up, I was excited to take a shower and not worry about a doctor or nurse coming in. That was until I realized I didn’t have a shower curtain, rookie moving move! That didn’t stop me from taking one though. I lined the floor and toilet with a ton of moving…

It’s been crazy busy with the move, getting everything settled, well thrown in a bedroom or closet for now, and being back and forth to the hospital. Amanda’s hemoglobin was low Wednesday, and the iron the rounding transparent doc tried didn’t help. Even though Dr. Nair was in India, he was still answering calls and…

Moving to Houston and leasing an apartment is a big step for us. Especially signing a lease before Amanda is actually listed for a new heart. I have felt a prompting to get this apartment, though. It will make things so much easier for us while Amanda is receiving rejection treatments and with the current…
