I fell back asleep after waking up at 7:45. Slept until about now. Had weird dreams.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went to IKEA and bought a chair (among other stuff) so I'll have a place to sit while I wait for the movers to arrive next week. Then I bought more necessities at Home Depot, where my credit card was declined. Seconds later I got a text alert from my bank reporting a transaction was declined for suspicious activity and asking if that was really me using my card. (I had been using that card a lot here.)
I went home, logged into my bank account and changed my address.
ETA: I've never been so happy to have a chair. I kind of took them for granted before.

When I first moved up here with no furniture, not even a bed, first purchase was a loveseat so I had a place to sit & cushions to sleep on until the bed arrived. And funnily enough, had the same happen with the cc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I moved to Boston, I spent a couple of days sitting on empty boxes made into a kind of seat.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back from the Getaway. Had fun, but am tired.

Man, walking a few blocks to the office is a much nicer commute than being on a shuttle for hours! In other news, I made it to NYC with only one major packing fail that I've discovered so far.

The last bunch of times I've gone to NYC, I manage not to bring the right toiletries, so I'm always buying toothpaste and face wash there. Luckily, there is a drug store on every corner in Manhattan.

Jesse - that has made packing so much less stressful for me. Beyond making sure I have the things that can't just be bought easily (meds, work computer, phone), I try to make sure I have the rest covered, but toothpaste, shampoo, a new outfit, shoes...those can be purchased if needed.
I've only been to NYC once and it was in January during a deep cold snap. After walking all over the place and then going to see 42nd Street, the sole of one of my boots came off completely, so I ended up buying new boots at 1am at a Skechers store. The city truly never sleeps.

That's a perfect NYC story.

And it reminds me, maybe I'm going to see about buying some rain boots when I go out for lunch.
