Timelies all!
Gary and I took Mr. S to the Boca Raton Childrens Museum today.(We borrowed my FIL's car, and they stayed home.) Mr.S ran around the museum for a while, then came back here.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Stupid anxiety is stupid.
So I still don't have an offer letter for the new job. My contact at the recruiting company said she was going to try and get it to me yesterday, but some of the people involved were off early for the holiday weekend. So I should get it on Tuesday.
In the meantime, Erin checked out the apartment, I filled out an application and made arrangements for Mayflower to move my stuff. Packing now.

Our wings are not tired.
Moving and new jobs both = anxiety even in the most ideal circumstances. I'm sorry! Both the upside and downside of it happening so quickly.

I'm so sorry, Suela.

I am a proponent for moving into places sight unseen but vetted by Buffistas! Thanks to Kate!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's awesome, but incredibly stressful!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Changing jobs and moving are muy stressful under the best circumstances. Anxiety jumping into the mix just makes sense, really. Your being super rational and making good decisions, tommyrot.
It's funny that my autocorrect recognizes murderbiscuit but not tommyrot.
I'm so sorry about your mom's friend, askye. That's gotta be hard on all of you.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
these people need to get you an offer letter in writing chop chop, especially if they're demanding you work for them in 2 weeks. Ugh, I have anxiety on your behalf.

So stressful, tommyrot. I would be as worried as you appear to be, because until you have a written offer, you cannot rely on it. Do NOT sign a new lease until you have the written offer.
In other news, the thermometer mounted on my back fence, which is NOT in full sun, claimed it was 114 here today. I am skeptical. But it was hella hot. Still hot in my house, with all the windows open and fans on.
We are basically having a rolling wake for my BIL. People start arriving every day around mid-afternoon, with food and booze, and then leave or stay, and other people stay, and when it gets cool enough we go out on the back deck and drink until bedtime. But we're out of room in the fridge, and there's only one bottle of rose left. (It's too hot for red, and most of the whites are chardonnay, which I don't like that much.)
We are getting better: I only saw my sister break into sobs twice today.

Yeah, they won't process my application for the new apartment without an offer letter.
On Tuesday I'll call them again and tell them I need the letter Tuesday (or possibly Wednesday, though maybe I won't tell them that) or else I'll have to postpone my departure and push back my start date.
Movers are supposed to grab most of my stuff on Friday (one week before I'd move). I think I can easily postpone that.
Also, glad to have my anxiety validated. Or something.
