Raq, what a nightmare! I'm glad you guys are out of that place.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Scorecard:
Raq's last-minute move-helping friends: WIN
Raq's nice new neighbors: WIN
Raq's new place: WIN
Raq's shitty PMs at the old place: FAIL

Our wings are not tired.
My shit is officially freaked out.
That has happened to me on a couple of moves. It's a good sign. Last time my new next door neighbor had us over for ribs and booze after we moved in. Friendly neighbors rock.

That is sucky, Raq. Did you guys buy a place?

I'm just having some culture shock: all of our neighbors have stopped by and introduced themselves at various times. And while we were off-loading the truck on Saturday, yet another set of neighbors brought over a cooler with drinks for us! My shit is officially freaked out.
Oh, that's awesome! I love having neighbors.

Yay Raq's new neighbors, but DAMN on the property managers! And I feel really bad for the people who thought htey had a place to move into and were told "ooh, yeah, sorry, there's no place for your stuff to go when your moving truck arrives"

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Raq, that was wayyyyy more interesting a weekend than I had. I'm glad you got great new neighbors - that's a definite win over the crap property managers.
There was some other stuff I meant to say, but the gronk is mightier than my brain.... oh, wait. It was about cats playing fetch. I've had a couple who did it. My experience tells me a cat dropping a toy at his human's feet is a bit more like a skeet shooter yelling "Pull!" than it is quite like playing fetch with a dog. There is a much more pronounced air of "Human, I require you to repeatedly use your opposable thumbs to cause this inanimate object to move in a fashion vaguely approximating the movement of prey so that I may enjoy a civilized recreation of the hunt" whereas with dogs it always seems more like, "Dude, I so want to chase this tennis ball some more but it's got my slobber all over it, which means that it's mine, and now I'm not sure if I wanna let go, but could you maybe throw it anyway, like, maybe while it is still in my mouth, please please please."

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yay on Raq's new neighbors but WTF with the PMs!
Liv developed Owen's unexplained fever late last night and crawled into bed with me. Had to get up to dose her teeny, burning body with some Tylenol and juice and then spent most of the night trying to grab some sleep in her bed with her.
She's currently zoning on the sofa.

So, the guy I was dating in Maryland? Who took me to the airport about a year ago when I moved here? And who also moved shortly thereafter? Is. Now. Married.
I can't even get a date.

I'm getting the pig!
Oh my goodness. Lots of ~ma for ND and Connie. Also, I'm glad you got to your new home safely, omnis. Annabel is adorable. And I hope you were able to get some more sleep, Kristin.
Shoot, I know there was something else... OH! Yes, Hil, I truly hope that my migraine and your migraine decide to elope and catch a flight to Cancun.
He got to meet my kids and he didn't run screaming, so that is pretty good, right?
Ha! He was fine. He was tired, though, and acting a bit like he was conducting an interview. Goof. But K-Bug just gets prettier every time I see her and CJ was a total gentleman. No worries. You raised wonderful humans.
Raq, that is absolute insanity. I can not even imagine what a nightmare that must've been. I'm glad you're on the other side of it, for the most part, but what a mess!
