My parents have been so so helpful lately and I'm so appreciative of it. I can't lift anything right now due to my elbow pain, and so they offered to help me move. My parents haven't helped me move in 7 years, that's 6 moves ago. It is hard for me to not be able to do things on my own, but they have been so great. I boxed most of my stuff up, my mom has done the rest, my dad loaded and moved everything, my mom cleaned both of my kitchens (the new house is not clean, mouse droppings, unmopped floors, etc), she scrubbed my floors on her hands and knees today. I could not have done this without them. I had an appointment to see a orthopedic surgeon for my arm on Sept. 3 and I've seriously been counting down the days. They called today to tell me something came up and I will have to reschedule for either the 18th (in the middle of my trip to see Aaron, if I can't go then it will be 6 months between our visits) or on the 29th, my first day of school. I called around, everyone else was booked until October. I had a break down in the Winco parking lot, which continued until I got home. My parents showed up at my house when I was in the shower, still a wreck, I told my mom what had happened, and enough is enough they said and called a good friend of theirs in Salem who is an orthopedist. I have an appointment in a week. It is so ridiculous how long you have to wait to get in to see a doctor these days, and you shouldn't have to know someone to get good health care. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will all work out for the best.
I haven't forgotten about my trip, I just haven't had time to even look at my pictures yet.

looks like you have some good light in your new place! That is exciting!
I have only just got the really appreciating the parents thing in the last few years - since I was finishing my PhD really.
There's a daddy long legs in a top corner in our bedroom and I've named her Erin. I might throw her outside before she makes a billion babies like yours did though.
