I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Local public radio stations sometimes take cars.

I'll look into that Suzi.

I have numbers for salvage yards, the main thing is going to be timing. I don't really want to rent a car for just a day so I'll probably figure out about getting rid of the car the day before we leave. Depending on when the furniture is picked up there's a good chance we'll spend the night in a local hotel. So get the Uhaul, take the car to salvage, the furniture is gone, load hte Uhual, clean at some point, possibly spend hte night in a hotel. I don't know!

I made a list, I just have to check things off the list. And actually do them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I find that no matter how well I lay my plans, something disrupts them, so it's better to have a general outline of a plan and be ready to swing with the things I didn't anticipate. There's always something.

Of course, that's the thinking that leads to me carrying everything I could possibly need in a big bag and still not having an umbrella, so the "prepare for anything but be flexible" plan is itself flawed because I can't possibly anticipate everything.

Anyway. Yeah. It'll work out.

I should be asleep. I wasn't which is a good thing because there was a burning smell and the socket in the bathroom was blackening a bit.

I unplugged stuff. The circuit is tied to the bedroom and hall light so I can't really shut it off without losing all light source. Now I'm a little scared to go to sleep.

Sounds like it's a good thing you're moving, askye. Does your landlord have an emergency number? Electrical fires probably qualify.

There wasnt an actual fire more a blackening of the outlet.

I contacted them.

There is also another mouse. The mouse issue only happened after the oil tank and new furnace were put in so I think they got in then or there is a small hole. U said something about that.

I'm probably a terrible person but I don't want to deal with it right now and Penny seems to be doing better with hunting so I'm just...ignoring the issue. I actually saw the mouse as it ran behind something and I just don't have the patience to try and extract it while being careful with my knee.

Penny successfully killed the mouse and left its non mangled body out for me to see. Which meant it was easy to dispose of.

Vet appointment for her - done. They sell Feliway and also give out towels sprayed with feliway to put in the carriers for trips to the vet so I need to go by there and get that.

Habitat for Humanity called - they are picking up most stuff except mattress and box spring on the 12th at 9 am. I should have called them sooner but whatever.
