Andrew is on a frenzy of unpacking. Dude, we have the apartment almost done. On fact, we should be done within a day or so. I loathe unpacking. I vastly prefer to pack stuff than to unpack it. It paralyzes me, quite frankly. I sit there and mull over where things should go and then change my mine and then have little freak outs. Andrew just puts ( Read more... )

Greetings from Tucumcari, NM!! Today we went through Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico!

Last night basisers_gais  was gracious enough to host Andrew, Emma, and myself in her home. She made a fantastic chicken tortellini salad and I got to meet her hubby and dogs, too. Emma, unfortunately, was less than impressed with said dogs and there was a small altercation ( Read more... )

Well, thus far it's been fun.

Andrew puts the final touches on loading the U-Haul. I told you it was like Tetris...

Loading a moving van is like playing Tetris. Except, as Charles astutely pointed out, in Tetris when a wall comes down it doesn't break the family china.

Still, we are all loaded up and ready without breaking anything!  However the damned truck is packed within an inch of it's life thanks to Ron who has the spacial intelligence (that I lack) to do ( Read more... )

Less controversial that the previous post.

Tonight we are going to a party but, as of now, I am home alone. And really alone. Not even the dogs are here. Honestly, this is the first time I've really been in this house utterly alone. It's not freaky just... empty and quiet. I'm used to having Malcolm.

There is now talk of delaying our departure by ( Read more... )

Today has been really taxing - on many levels ( Read more... )

Got the U-Haul rented, got the dates set, planning the route... things are in place! OMG, this is starting to feel so damned real. That's a good thing, though.

At the same time, we're starting to plan for rs_games  again and that is always a good feeling!

Meme time! I am not sure if I should be insulted by this or not:

Your result for The Presidential ( Read more... )

I am SO stressed out right now.

I don't know if I am a planner by nature - in fact I think I'm pretty easy going - but this move and the more nebulous parts of it are driving me nuts. The worst part is that everything seems to depend on everything else.

For example, we don't yet know the day we are leaving or what will be happening until that time ( Read more... )

I know that I am asking for a HUGE favor, but Andrew and I are planning our drive out to Taos, and we could really use some help. As it stands now, we are looking at two eleven to twelve hour driving days and then one short, six hour day. That's a lot. At least to me.

So, here is the where the begging comes in? Do any of you wonderful people who ( Read more... )
