I can't post to Facebook from my parents computer because of their filter, but apparently I can on LJ. I'm at home for the holiday (until Saturday), and so far so good ( Read more... )

( in which I crunch some numbers )

As some of you may know from my bitter complaints on FaceBook, the company D and I work for has relegated us to Arkansas for the next two weeks. For those not up on their US geography, this is roughly a 13 hour drive from where we live. The project is a survey in advance of expanding a prison. Wacky fun, huh ( Read more... )

I think this is a complete list ( Read more... )

We packed the rental last night with all my boxes (bar quite a lot of keepsakes of the personal and family-heirloom variety), and this morning we set out at about 9:15 down Highway 101. The drive down to Olympia was lovely, though the roads are a bit narrow and curvy, and we got stuck a few slow drivers. There was snow on the ground and the ( Read more... )

OK, it turns out I am going to Florida, and so is D. Good, good. I'll be driving back to VA from here tomorrow after work and spending my "weekend" there until I fly out of Richmond on Wednesday. Ryan will hopefully be coming with me to see how the house looks now and to help me with furniture errands. I found some good stuff on CraigsList last ( Read more... )

Well, I am anyway. Home sweet Lancaster. I am still without Aurelia since I got back too late to pick her up today, but I will do so tomorrow morning, once I have slept enough. D is stuck in Philadelphia tonight, but at least the airline is putting him up in a hotel. It is glorious to be clean and to have a real bed and snacky foods. Laundry ( Read more... )

I have now made it as far as LaGuardia airport. I spent a not-too-uncomfortable night on the floor of Terminal 4 at JFK (the only one that stays open all night), due to the fact that I have my sleeping bag and mats with me. Woke up early this morning and caught the bus to LaGuardia. It's been raining pretty hard since we landed last night and ( Read more... )

I won't lie; it's a bit of a relief to be back after the stress of the last few days. Of course, it's not over yet. I've spending tonight in JFK airport in New York, and flying back to Cincinnati in a few hours. D is spending tonight in Manchester airport, but we may cross paths in Philadelphia this afternoon if my flight is delayed. Should be ( Read more... )

WTF is up with Sheffield having its graduation at the end of bloody July?! It took us four hours to get a hotel room sorted out this afternoon, and we therefore missed out on doing anything fun or useful apart from grabbing a not-too-rushed dinner at Sheiks. Going to have to pick stuff up in the morning before we head out. Bleh. I feel like my ( Read more... )
