I'm more or less adjusted to my own time zone now, though my alarm went off for five solid minutes before it woke me up this morning, and I was incredibly tired for the entire work day.  I guess the fact that it's 8pm and I'm still awake means I haven't fully adjusted...but I'm getting there :) 

Z left last night and will be traveling for bridge through the end of the nationals in early December, so we won't see each other for about a month.  It also means I'm on my own with the car.  I did pretty well on my first day of solo driving.  I was crazy nervous when traffic was stop and go all the way to work this morning, but all my starts were pretty smooth.  I'm probably jinxing myself now but I didn't stall out at all and I'm actually feeling pretty comfortable with it lately.  It's not nearly to the point where it's second nature yet -- I still do a lot more thinking (and worrying) about driving than I do with an automatic transmission, but I'm really enjoying it, even with all the freaking out.  

I leave for the Edhead cruise in ten days.  That snuck right up on me.  Awesome :)

Yay for you and your stick-shifting! That's on my list of things to learn. When I was car hunting, my mother was weirdly adamant that I not buy a stick-shift... I think maybe she had a bad experience ;) I'm glad yours is a good one.
