FINALLY.
We just closed on the old house. It's sold, we're shut of it, we're done. Knock on wood.
Sargon went over this morning to have a last look at it. I didn't. I will be happy if I never see the place again. Ever.
This is huge happy news for us but it's not necessarily of interest to anyone else, so I will move on.
All packages from the last batch of Etsy orders were shipped yesterday. Shipping freaks me out so bad. I'm always scared I'm going to pack the wrong things in the wrong boxes, or that it will get lost or break open or something. Anyway, I'm preparing another update.
Tazendra's thyroid test results came back normal, so we're just medicating her for her crazy high blood pressure. We've been medicating her for four days now, and she is taking it pretty well. She doesn't take it personally when I take her to the vet, but the shoving a pill into her mouth, that she does take personally, and she sulks about it every time. I hope she gets over it. We do give her treats right after, special treats the other cats don't get, so hopefully it will sink in that if she just behaves, she gets something special.
Also: stay tuned for another Secret History entry. Miss Someday wishes she could write more often, but apparently they're keeping her really busy at the Salem Institute. She's been back to Thuringia at least twice since the last entry to help catalog some deceased warlock's effects, and apparently things in the special collections department always pick up this time of year. She has alluded to two particularly delightful and gruesome specimens she hopes to examine very soon, however, and has been making vague enquiries about setting up her own LJ where she could talk about stuff besides the Secret History entries. I asked if it would make her write more, and she said she wasn't sure, but she felt like she maybe should. I told her I didn't mind loaning her my readers, but she still feels a little shy about it. She's very strange. She may travel a lot but I don't think she gets out enough.
