I drove today! I had Craig & the GPS with me so it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. However, it's just really hard to know where the car ends on your left and I had to really focus on staying near the line on the right. The biggest problem I had was turning on the windshield wipers when I was trying to signal. The gas & brake aren't switched and the ignition isn't switched but the shifter, wipers, & indicators are switched. You have to remember which side of the car to get on as well.
We went to Giant and got a load of groceries that we never could have gotten on the MRT. We brought everything home and Craig went back out to get the transformer for the printer. Then we all went back out again to do a drive-by of the two houses in Woodlands that we like and to pick up an artificial tree at (a different) Giant. The tree is a bit taller than me and a lot skimpier than the one we had in Texas but it also takes up much less storage space so I think it's just perfect! I didn't bring the tree skirt (I noticed it when I brought the decoration boxes down for the air shipment but for some reason decided to leave it). I'm using a cloth I have from my Grandma and never know exactly what to do with--now it has a perfect job!
Craig & I go back and forth about where we ought to live. I honestly don't know what we'll do right now. All the choices have equally good (but different) pros & cons. And we're only here for a year so it's hard to say what is the best way to spend that time...
