Movelog 1 Entry 1

I
Hate
Packing.

Also the power just came back on after being out for about an hour due to what they call a severe thunder storm. My cat has only now just ventured out from under the bed. It's not so much the scary loud noises and flashing lights she dislikes as it is the fact that she can tell I am up to no good. Wait until she finds out she's going to be spending some time in a place where there is another cat, a dog, and a guinea pig, not to mention an assortment of strange humans.

Anyway, all I did today was dismantle my desk (one of those powder-coated metal jobs), cart some crap off to the Goodwill, pawn one of my old teevees (don't ask how I end up with three tvs when I am one person; okay, one was so old I had to give it to the Goodwill, the other was old but they gave me 20 bucks for it), sell a bunch of my cds (goth cds are in demand, go figure) and pay my car payment. Of course this entailed me allowing the 96-degrees-Fahrenheit-but-feels-like-100 (per the Weather Channel) outside air to touch my skin several times today, which means I feel as if I have walked across Death Valley. So I am going beddy bye.

Thanks for everyone's good wishes, by the way. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes!

Update: did I actually write "this entailed me allowing..."? I guess I did. I really need some sleep.

Packing is horrible, and so is moving. The only good thing about it is when you finally get settled in.

I hope everything works out in the new place - (and I hope the weather improves.)

I had a very surreal moment there. I somehow read the first three lines at:

I
Hate
Hacking

Then I was mystified was to what the post had to do with hacking, then at the end I scrolled up and my perceptual anomoly cleared itself up.

Yep, I hate it too. Good luck indeed!

I have walked in Death Valley in July. I have been to Florida during the summer.

Andrea, the desert at 110 feels better than humid FLA at 90.

Best of luck to you. This too shall pass.
