Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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

Timelies all!

The packers showed up on time today and packed up the basement and the living room. So...many...boxes.

Tomorrow people come to move the boxes to storage, and pack up the china cabinet and the kitchen.

David I’m sure it can be difficult but I feel it’s such a gift that you are sharing this time with us. Thank you. I feel we are all together and it’s just… a gift.

What flea said.

I made it home! I am exhausted and have 1500 work emails and one project I’m being told it’s on fire and I need to jump right in. Remind me why I can’t just run away and not go back to work??

Gotta be able to support your dog in the style he has become accustomed to, meara.

This is very true. I think my friend bought him new expensive food while I was gone too. And he has a groomer appointment next week!

I’m not sure how expensive but it’s what she buys for her dog (who is also hwre) but it’s probably more than the Costco food I was buying him, I assume!
