Great news, Allyson!
I haven't heard back from the internship place since Sunday, so I'm provisionally accepting that it won't be going forward -- which could be a bit of relief....

I did that when I heard I got my first newspaper job. I broke my toe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Good luck with the move, Sarameg!

Dear Universe, I would like a week-long staycation, with the caveat that everyone else in my house has to go to work/school/daycare on their usual schedule. I am okay with the cat staying home as long as she doesn't barf. The fish is golden. If you grant me this I promise not to kill anyone or yell at my husband or children from a whole week. Thank you, flea.

I wanna stay home with the cats and read. Sadly, not an option.
How much do you tip movers? 4 guys+ the guy.

I think I tipped in cash 10-15 of the total. I always had $200-300 in cash on hand the day of the move, as well as a ton of cooled water, plastic glasses and some fruit.
ION - flea's dream is my dream also, a week off with mac on a normal schedule would be so toally awesome. SO awesome in fact that I am contemplating asking for unpaid time off in May or June to do that exact thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, anybody here had to deal with a bedbug infestation?

Yes. Buy a new mattress.

from what I have read on my neighborhood blog, get rid of what you can, get a spray you feel comfortable with and spray everything, inclusing floors and walls. Plastic bag up everything you throw out and all cloth/cushiony things you spray. Seal up all cranks in floor that you can. Spray again and again. Label anything you throw out as NOT to be re-used so that other do not take it and further spread the infestation. After all that you may still need to hire a professional.
