In the middle of moving, again. I hate moving. I stayed in my last place five years, if that gives any indication of how much I hate moving. But this place: five months and change, by the time we’ll be all moved in.
So I’m going to try to not do too much blogging or blog reading when I’m supposed to be packing. (Violated that when writing about my dream, but it was so weird, I just had to.)
Excited about the new place. Will possibly share more later.
Much bigger. Garage. Big patio doors for the cats to stare out longingly.

Sounds lovely. And while part of me is sad not to be moving out to California, most of me is just really glad to be staying put for another year. And we have a big front window so Bruce and Elliot can stare out longingly (except that when Bruce is staring out longingly, Elliot is likely to go and give Bruce’s tail a good pull).
Anxiously awaiting moving details!!!! I hope everything goes well for both of you!
I am anxious to hear about your move as well. Incidentally, someone else in our life is moving: my old nemesis Charlotte. Yep. We noticed about a month ago an ad in the newspaper for her place. Then my wife spoke to the landlady last week, and she admitted without any prompting that Charlotte is leaving. “She needs a quiet place,” the landlady said. The landlady also said she wants to rent the place to a family with kids.
I’m thinking you are anxiously awaiting Charlotte’s departure, yes?
Oh yes, we will be glad when she goes. She really does need a quiet place. The landlady also mentioned renting her place to some kind of non-denominational church to use as a temporary residence for their door-to-door harrassers…er, missionaries. That does not sound like a good idea to me, from a landlord’s pov, but at least these “missionaries” may not be around enough to notice any noise we make.
Our landlady is Seventh Day Adventist, btw, so she probably feels some Christian duty to help out this church. I hope she ignores that duty and places a nice family beside us.
Hurray for Charolotte leaving.
And as much as I hate defending religious people, Seventh Day Adventists are actually a pretty well-behaved lot. Most of my family is lapsed from being SDA. Key word being lapsed…
Our landlady and her husband have been great to us, so we have no complaints. It’s kind of funny, though: I always forget that Saturday is their sabbath, at which time they take the phone off the hook all day. If I call on a Saturday, I get a busy signal and have to slap my forehead for forgetting (again) that they kind of remove themselves from society on Saturdays.
My greatgrandma used to ask my father and I not to mow her lawn on Saturdays, but as we were doing it out of the goodness of our hearts, and Saturday was sometimes the day we had to do it, she was out of luck.
No TV from sundown to sundown, either. For the short time I lived with my grandmother, it seriously interfered with my Doctor Who watching on Friday nights.
Good for you Matt! Hopefully the missionaries will enjoy the blessed sounds of your son, because he is just SO loud!
