Ted’s called, and he and the animals have made it to Cobh safely. He remembered to bring his laptop, but forgot the power cord for it. Oops. But he made it down there, and starts work tomorrow, and is excited about it, so that’s all good. I’ll be glad to get down there and be with him. Missing his first day of work was not the plan. There are probably ten thousand packing things I should do tomorrow. What I’m going to do is go to the bank, the post…

Ted needs to bring bedding to Cobh. We need to, although this will probably not happen today,…

I am sufficiently tired to feel floaty. Yesterday we drove down to Cork (it was a *beautiful* day, and a wonderful drive) to give the letting agency money and to get the keys. Upon getting to Cork, Ted wasn’t 100% sure of where he was, so he stopped so we could look at the map. At a glance, we couldn’t find a map. I said, “Are you sure you brought it?” He was sure. We scoured the car. No map. I said, “Not to belabor the issue, but are you…
