Kiss Pamela for me.
Will do.
I washed all my bedding today.
Damn, jealous. Is 10 too late to wash mine? Sounds lovely. And while I have clean sheets I could put on, freshly laundered is the appeal. Mmm. Enjoy.
Okay, just let me know. That weekend does work, but after that, I'm gone for two weekends.
So it is first or last? Noted. I will know tomorrow.
Pamela is worse than I am about answering her phone so calling is futile. It leaves her nicely undistracted when she's around but means I just wait until she's here to discuss stuff.
Yay for Pamela, and yay for Portland! (Since we're probably making our perma-home somewhere in western Oregon...what? It isn't all about me?)
Thanks! And whoot perma-home. I am an excellent baby sitter (when I like the kid and the parents at least) if Mal is still a kid when you get there. They grow up so fast I thought I should add the caveat.
Wow, big change. What's attracting you to Portland?
It is a huge change.
But I have thought about it for a while and Portland really has a lot of the things I am looking for in a place to live for a while. I also (such the geek) did loads of those "find the best place for you to live" web things and Portland was at the top of all of them.
So was San Diego actually, and I do love it here, but cost of living and especially housing factored in highly. I might end up back here in two to five years. I am actually thinking I will eventually. But for now, I need a fresh start in a place with no history for me.
(But who will I stay with when I visit SD??)
I know... But I still have family here, so if you are coming to the area, I can visit too and we can both take advantage of them. But no making fun of my shark fear when eating at oceanfront (or bayfront, it's still large water) restaurants.
Because I'm a bad, bad man who has Photoshop, and the idea made Andi laugh:

Best of luck with this Cass.

Thank you.
I think I made my reasoning seem like too little before because it scares me, I really need a fresh start.
I put a lot of thought into it before I decided that leaving for a new city was the best choice. I have been here for over a decade and my immediate family isn't neccesarily in town but they are all close by.
But there has just been too much here that I need to move on from and there just isn't enough to keep me in San Diego once I leave this house.
My final straw was the day before my grandma passed away. My SiL and neicelet came to visit and the ever-timely SiL dropped the bombshell that Brit was being shipped off to boarding school in Vermont the next morning. Without her around, one less reason I need to be here.
It's something I have been thinking about a lot. I thought I was ready to move up to the area I was working when I was laid off my job. I was literally making plans to sign papers for a new place when I got the news.
It made me reevaluate and once I really thought about it and was honest, I need to leave. For at least a while.
Shark fear?
Phhhhhhhhbbbbbllllllttttttttt!
But no making fun of my shark fear when eating at oceanfront (or bayfront, it's still large water) restaurants.
Hee. I would treat it with restraint and understanding. I convey my understanding by humming the theme from
Jaws.
Phhhhhhhhbbbbbllllllttttttttt!
Yeah, not a shark noise. Not scary.
Best of luck with this Cass.
What she said. It sounds like a new start is a good thing.
I wonder how long a drive it is to Portland from here...

You
so
need to get that kid an acoustic guitar.
