It’s about 8:30 Tuesday morning, and while my computer can pick up several wireless networks in the area, I’m not succeeding in connecting to any of them. I’m writing a little blog entry anyway, ’cause I figure I’ll get to upload it sometime today.
We’re at the corporate apartment, which is pretty decent. The cable modem’s not working, but evidently somebody’s coming by this morning to fix it, so with any luck I’ll be on by noon or 1pm. I’d rather not be working here, because there’s so much mess all over the place that it’s kind of depressing and I feel like I should be cleaning it up, but I’ve sat down at the kitchen table with my back to the larger part of the disaster and I’m just going to ignore it. Dammit.
We’re out of the house. Completely, officially, totally out of the house. We’ve been looking a little wild-eyed at one another since yesterday afternoon. :) I have to get the boys and the animals their plane tickets today, though unless we get a connection or I get out of here I’m not sure when that’ll happen.
Anyway. The morning’s plan is to get my copy edits typed in, do some revisions on my PHOENIX LAW proposal, and walk the dog. I’ll let you know how it all goes.
Good God. It’s November. o.O
Worst part about the apartment is it’s very, very dry. I feel like all the water’s been schlucked out of my body. Shluck! *laugh* I took a bath this morning, which distressed the holy living bejeezus out of the cats. *laugh* They came in and took turns standing up to peer worriedly into the tub, and then they’d look at each other and both of them would look into the tub, and then they’d get down and switch places, clearly trying to communicate their distress about this whole thing, and they peeked from all the different angles they could find, and then sat there on the bath mat looking disturbed until I finally got out. Funny kitties. :)
I went to bed at 9 last night and got up at 7 this morning. A couple more days like that, and I might feel human again.
Ok. To work now.

And, this evening, now that I’m on a network…got the copy edits done. Got them sent off. Didn’t get as far as working on PHOENIX LAW, but I’ll do that tomorrow.
Very, very tired.
Aww…Moving is stressful and tiring enough and you’re unfortunate enough to be able to work anywhere so it might be more difficult to justify a week or two off. The benefit is that work is a constant. Even though your surroundings are different and you’re travelling, the work is familiar. Maybe it cuts down on the disorienation a bit, I dunno. Just have as much fun as you can out of the experience and get lots of rest. :D
Have you considered putting saucers of water around the room you’re in? It will confuse the cats and hydrate the atmosphere, all in one go!
Let me know where you’re moving to so I can send you a welcome to Europe card!
LOL! I have one cat (Mistral who is Samba in Heart Thief) who loves water and will inevitably tip over any bowl, but the cats STARE at me in my tub. Like “Do you REALIZE you are sitting in WATER!!!!”
Guess you haven’t been that dry since you were here in Denver, eh?
Keeping track of you since I am fascinated with your move, and want all the best for you…and have slowly been telling my Mom that I’ll be moving to Ireland…eventually.
Love,
Robin (who drank too much…see blog in a coupla days…)
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND CATS!!! You especially need a bit of pampering.
