moved
Sleepy time. I really ought to go to bed.
Got all moved yesterday. I spent Friday lugging a few more boxes to the new place and cleaning the old quite thoroughly, and then John's family came up Saturday morning (after John and I dropped Jaina-the-cat off in my new bedroom) complete with pickup truck and loaded up my furniture and remaining miscellany. As my place has an elevator, it was quite painless and uneventful. And I'm even mostly unpacked now!
Jaina is getting settled in pretty quickly, thankfully, and I'm getting used to not living in my old place. Really, I liked that apartment...but I really like this roommate, so it's a fair tradeoff :) We watched a few episodes of Arrested Development (season 3) tonight before bed and there is definite promise. Her cats Abner and Lucy are ador-or-orable and although Jaina's still hissing at them, she'll chill out soon for sure.
Speaking of cats, I wanted to post again about the MSPCA Walk for Animals, in case someone might still be interested in donating. Even five dollars would be a worthy contribution towards the amazing work the organization does! There's still time to sign up too, so if you're in the area, I implore you to join me and walk too; help raise awareness of this amazing organization and contribute to the lives of the thousands of animals they rescue. Go to walkforanimals.org - and if you're not in Boston, please consider sponsoring me by following this link: http://www.mspca.org/goto/dmazuz
I'm no artisan or creator who can promise any special goodie for those who donate, but what I will do is create a photo essay of an animal at the shelter (your choice: cat, dog, rodent, bird, bunny, etc) and tell you all I know about the animal, so you can see where your money is going. My camera died recently so I will just have to remember to borrow John's old one this week. And if you have any questions about the organization, please feel free to ask me.
Will write more in the next few days, including a follow-up about the dog I mentioned in a recent entry. I know I should be emailing a few people to catch up and hope to soon; at the moment I'm a bit tense worrying that I've caused a serious problem with a project at work and I will probably be better off sorting through those kinds of things on Tuesday, after I've gotten back there and hopefully solved everything. Sigh.
