So, now, we're moving...

I won't call this a totally awful thing. I'm going somewhere with good public transit (good for someone who really shouldn't drive), good doctors (Baltimore *is* the home of Johns Hopkins), and lots to do (much as I love Richmond, it's rather devoid of things to do). But, it's not totally great, either. I have start my doctor search over. I have to start learning a new neighborhood. I have to get a new job.

That last bit is the scariest. I'm just about comfortable with my current job, but I know that child care work isn't for me (I never know what the parents will be okay with!). So, I have to find a job that I can do while having unreliable body integrity and health, something I can do while in a wheelchair most of the time, with a boss who understands "part time wheelchair use".

Luckily, my family is being really cool about the whole "Brenna can't do much" thing. We technically aren't moving totally until November. In the meantime, we're transporting things little by little to the new place and new storage. Just about every weekend, we'll take up a load of boxes and unpack, setting up our rooms to our satisfaction, and learning the area. I'm going to start learning how to do bus rides and light rails on wheels. I'm also seeking places to go and how to get there on Google maps. So, I will be continuing to make blog posts on traveling around with a gimpy body.

Here goes nothing!
