First week in the new house

Well today marks my first week in the house... through the trials and tribulations, I find myself now questioning if this was the right choice, wondering is there was another way. I keep telling myself that this was the only way. When I see the beautiful home that I now live in, I think that this will be the place that I call home in the future, and for a while. currently it doesn't quite feel like home... there is just something missing for it to be home. I know what it is, but I also know that this the way things need to be. That this is how It needs to be for me to move forward and to be a participant of life instead of just along for the ride.

I even miss that little evil doggy that used to chew up my stuff... How odd is that? I have thought several times about getting a furry little mongrel of my own, but I think that it would not be fair since I am gone so much, maybe I need to get a roommate... someone to rent the extra room. Lots of random thoughts as I end the week.

On the lighter side, there are alot of positive things that have happened in the last week. I have been able to spend some quality time with my thoughts, as i have fixed little things wrong with my new house.... that still sounds weird to say; My House... ya still doesn't sound quite right, I just still feel like I should be saying "our house". I have fixed 80-90% of the irrigation leaks that I have had with the irrigation system, which makes me happy. I have 2 places that I need to run new lines, one because there is not one run already, and the other because the line is all cracked and needs to be replaced. I think I will try and get that accomplished this weekend. That should keep me busy, I think I will try and get the 510 up and going as well, I need to replace a couple lifters and then get it emissions tested so that I can drive it.
