Oh boy, am I sick! I didn't get dressed today until nearly 3PM! I was in bed all day, getting up just long enough to pee and then heading straight back under the covers. And of course, the BSU is just as ill now after being trapped in the truck with me all weekend. Meds are helping both of us with limiting the symptoms but we're both pretty miserable.
We did get the boy safely delivered to his new job (and temporary home) at Pitco Total Automotive Service in Aspen, Colorado. We met his new boss, John Guenther and he seemed really pleased to have Noah onboard as part of his team. John's been in business in Aspen for 32 years and he seems to have a booming business going on, so I'm hoping his work ethic and experience rubs off on Noah.
Noah's also living above the shop in a small bedroom/apartment that John also uses as his office. Housing in Aspen runs between unaffordable and unavailable and so Noah is bunking in the shop for the time until he finds his own place.
Just as an example of how expensive housing is in Aspen, I read a story in the daily paper about the arrest of a suspected cocaine dealer, 26 years old and living in a basement bedroom at his mom's house! If a cocaine dealer can't afford his own place, how does a simple auto mechanic afford a place? But on the other hand, there is an unused bedroom right now that might be available...
But we got him unloaded and tucked in and returned home safely last night. I managed to keep my flu symptoms regulated with meds and the trip home was uneventful and pleasant.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit here in front of the boob tube and try not to hurt myself coughing.
