So it's 8 months since my last post. (I'm not really a diarist...) I have a new hip and it's working great. I'm back at yoga and working full time. And now we're thinking of moving to Austin. We went there 2 weeks ago, looked at houses, didn't find anything but narrowed down neighborhoods. Which, being us, we keep second guessing. (We do have a good realtor, and Russell. They both keep us on track.)
Getting my Texas license is turning out to be a major pain in the ass. Since I held a license there a long time ago, their rule is that I have to renew it. But their therapeutics law came into effect after New York's, so I did all the class work before their deadline. In order to practice as a therapeutic optometrist (which in my mind means practice at all), I have to take a 100 hour course. Insanity! So I'm going to try and make a case for licensure by endorsement. We'll see what happens. Fortunately, I have a friend on the board.
Many mixed feelings about leaving. We'll have to get out of our comfortable rut and make an effort to make new friends. So for practice, we went to Temple Friday night and hung out after, and I've scheduled a dinner party at the end of the month.
I'm also going to see a therapist.
