Life happened

Dear blog - and more importantly those who read it!
My life has been hell for almost a month now. I feel like I put in an offer on my house in Cheyenne (you all have to come see it unless you are just a stalker) and this morning is my first bout of sanity in the interim. Somehow I assumed that home ownership would be less stressful. First there were all the offers and counteroffers and counteroffers: I barely had the chance to go home and help work on the farm. I had to respond so fast! Then the inspections, and the contractors (I have a new roof, seller paid for it), and then came closing. . . and then, the very next day. . I flew to D.C.
Yes, I went to Washington D.C. I did it all by myself. Not pleasure mind you, I went for a work conference. Every day from about 8am till 6pm EST I was in the same room learning about health care privacy laws. Sadly, because this is a major part of my job, I really found it entertaining. More sadly, I have no real idea what D.C. looks like with sun shining on it.
For my spare time I shopped in Pentagon City, learned how to use the metro (tres easy if you put your ticket in right), and wandered around the national mall after dark. The best and the worst part of the trip was the national mall. The best part being the history and the grandeur of that space is awe inspiring, especially after dark. Its the lighting. The worst part was, managing to get to the Natural History Museum just before it closed I got kicked out of this photo exhibit before I was finished. Lets just say, I was crying (in that good way that happens when you see really awesome art that you aspire to create yourself) up until the nice security guard came in screaming "the museum is closed get out!"
Ooh, I almost forgot. One night, while I was trying to see as much of the city as possible I got lost in Dupont Circle. Well, not lost, just couldn't figure out which streets went where I needed to go. However, like a good gay, I turned on my dar and followed the beacon right to the HRC. Yeah, literally stumbled onto the place trying to figure out where I was. Gaydar now comes with GPS!!! From there, I got my bearings and had one of the est "queen" cuts of prime rib I've ever tasted.
Other highlights of the trip include being told on at least 3 occasions that I am beautiful/handsome/good looking by people who didn't have to say a word (although one may have been a prostitute), flood therapy for my social shyness (I initially didn't even want to leave the hotel), and experiencing something new and fun that I hope to do again.
Since then I have been packing, moving, packing, moving, packing and moving. On the days when the weather hasn't permitted me to move, I've been unpacking. Heck, today may be the first day I've had Internet access for pleasure since my last blog! That's depressing. I must go cry now.
Back.. So.. Mo and D helped last weekend with setting up the kitchen. MUCH THANKS! This weekend, we hope to move the furniture. If only my brother could get here with the trailer.. damn this Wyoming winter!
That's what's up in my life. Hopefully I will have the Internet again before another month goes by. We'll be getting together real soon in the new house for party time, too.
Cheers!
