Archive for July, 2008

The kid and I have been here since Wednesday night.  But I left the cats over there until today, because I couldn’t bring the dog and I didn’t want him to be completely alone.

Tonight I have my kitties.  My dogface *sniffle* is hopefully getting acclimatized to his new home, with a kind disabled gentleman with whom he spent nearly an hour bonding before deigning to get in the truck and go for a ride.

I can’t believe I miss that dumb dog.

Writing continues.  Due to the Consistency Challenge (continued through July by popular demand) I have written 100 or more words every day for 55 of the last 57 days.  The two I missed were, rather naturally, the day I went into the hospital and the day I came out.

This challenge is my friend.  I’d surely be going insane by now if I weren’t getting my 100 words in.

No, really.  Think about it.  I’ve been attempting to move for a solid WEEK.  Mostly alone, but for a twenty-year-old Corolla with the trunk stuck shut, and a nine-year-old who would really rather be playing.  (Well, me too.)

But thanks to some Hiro bits and occasionally, when I’m really incredibly tired, freewriting, I haven’t killed anyone or anything.

The new place is still small, and still lovely.  I think we’re going to be very happy here.  We better be, ’cause I swear I’m not moving again until I can pay someone else to do it all.

No, really.

Things are moving.  I don’t feel like I’m accomplishing much, but the house is getting emptier, so I guess maybe I am.

Not happy with how, after all the time I spent anticipating, I still wasn’t ready to move, though.  Why is all this crap I don’t want still in my house?

I don’t think an upgrade and intelligence patch is gonna do it, guys. We need a whole new OS.

I’ve got a new apartment.  I’m trying to get moved, mostly using the backseat of a Toyota Corolla.  I have to be moved in two weeks, almost the same time when I have to go back to work.  I’m trying to write, re-write, and edit, but not really finding the time.

And I spent the night in the hospital Tuesday.  Once again, they are quite certain my chest pains aren’t caused by heart problems–but they really don’t know what is causing the problem.
