Much better & movin' in

Eddie's much better. He's weight bearing well on the injured leg and barely limping at all. He's back to dragging me on walks, though not nearly as aggressively as he usually does and he really doesn't care for taking the antibiotic pills at all, so I have to kinda shove it halfway down his throat in order to get it into him...lol

Yesterday & today were residence move-in days at UWO. While my *real* job is at Western, I work for Primus on these two days, signing the students up for long distance plans. It's not hard work, but most of these kids are leaving home for the first time (some are just 16!!) and they're overwhelmed with a plethora of information, forms to fill out, places to go, things to do, people to see, events to attend...and that's just "O-week". Once classes start, the real challenges begin for them to get accustomed to life without Mommy & Daddy doing everything for them. Most of the long distance charges are incurred in the first month of school...once they get used to being away from home and on their own, the calls dwindle to once or twice a month...if that...lol

I must say, the Housing dept. does a fantastic job of organizing the whole shebang. Over 4000 1st year students move into residence over the 2 day period, beginning at 8am and going until 4pm each day. It runs like a well oiled machine...mind you, they've had many, many years to perfect the process.
