In, but not Settled
Posted on | 3 years ago, in the early afternoon | 1 Comment
So we’re in. The new building is lovely, and our stuff is still everywhere — though it’s gradually starting to look like a real home where civilized people reside.
This would have never happened quite so smoothly or swiftly without the helpful assistance of friends, who rallied to help us tote everything this past Saturday; so let me take this moment to publicly thank (in no particular order) Alex, Ellen, Psynde, Caitlin, Suezie, Kat and her husband Jim. They were 100% awesome, brave, steadfast, sturdy, and true from lunchtime to sundown, and we totally owe them.
Since I awoke this morning to half a dozen emails asking how the cat had survived the move, let me assure you that she is just dandy. At the moment she’s sitting on her cat tree above a radiator, lounging in a seasonally unexpected sunbeam. How she hasn’t cooked herself down to jerky by now, I don’t know; but she seems pretty happy.
Likewise Howard made the move without much incident, though he’s presently ensconced in the kitchen — and I plan to relocate him later today. We’re making a spot for him in the dining area, I think. No untoward implications intended.
Anyway. It’s time for me to log off and return to the business of reestablishing my home base. We desperately need groceries, the walls are still naked, the bedroom remains to be fully established and unpacked, and my “office area” is in shambles. But I hope you all are having a most excellent MLK Day, and I’ll be back online perhaps tonight in order to play internet catch-up.

Glad to hear the move went so very smoothly. Best of luck with the unpacking/organizing portion of it all (which is my least favorite part of the moving ordeal, honestly).
