Argh, I should not have checked my work e-mail. Now I have to do some work! But it's because of something I messed up last week, so I can't complain too much.

Is that going to work out okay with all your spring plans, Suzi?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FYI, Pivot is showing the first nine episodes of Buffy today. Harvest is on now.

I hope so.

I also got lease renewal info and just signed a transfer agreement. We are moving into a first floor 2 bedroom unit on the other side of the complex. Move date is March 15th.

So - Surgery Jan 30th, drug haze through Feb 7th, birthday Feb 9th, no weight on that foot through late Feb, get boot in late Feb/early March pack, pack, pack through March 14th, move March 15th, unpack, unpack, possible upgrade to sneakers in late March, vacation March 20th - 28th, unpack, unpack.

Easy, peasy. Eeeeeeep.

Wow. Well, it sounds better than some of the possibilities you had, at least. And you'll be paying less rent?

Yikes! At least there is vacation in there?

Yep, rent will go down a bit. We are also moving into a smaller unit but it is the upgraded version. We walked through the model unit and I like the changes they are making. My bedroom is going to be much smaller but it opens up on a patio. And the living/dining area is huge.

Anyone want to come help me pack? I won't even complain if you making fun of me if I'm still on pain meds.

Ooh, patio off your bedroom sounds nice.

That's I was thinking. Also, I'll sending smooth surgery-recovery ~ma now so that's front-loaded. That's how it works, right?

Hope Sox's appt. did/is going/will go well.

The chili tot casserole was good, if a little dry. Extra meat with not enough actual chili to compensate, I think.

In Starbucks at the moment -- it's hopping.

Jealous of the chili tot casserole. That sounds yummers.

I seem to have a good half-gallon of butternut squash. I can pretty much make any pumpkin recipe with that, right?

Holy shit, Loki just managed to turn on one of the burners and scare the shit out of the both of us.

…crap, I think I'm now going to have to pull off all the knobs out of paranoia. He's NEVER managed to do this before. Some odd confluence of knocking an old glass insulator off the windowsill and the mop handle hitting and maybe him leaping, I don't even know.
