I just got back from the house… i wanted to take some stuff over that i didn’t want to bother packing. And some more fragile stuff, like my antique cameras. I’m going to take Pru over now, and then I am going to haul ass the clean up and make way for them to move whatever they can.
And I still have to disable that “home entertainment” mess.
My god… I’m talking to myself.

Hey… what happened to 3 o’clock?

Does one tip movers? Where are you people when I need you?
I’ve never used movers before. After trying to find answers online, I’m a little frightened. Sounds like they like to scam you.
Anyways, welcome to the 3 o’clock hour. Fun!
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy from the album Mirrorball by Sarah McLachlan

I have to untangle and pack all the “home entertainment” systems. I don’t want to. It looks messy. Lots of cables.
blarg.

What, it’s only 11:38? I feel like it’s at least 2 am. I think I need a dr pepper. I’ll go return some library books, get them out of the way, and pick up a dr pepper.
you need to know these things.

I’ve pretty much accepted the fact that not everything will be packed. I’m guessing the kitchen will probably not make the cut. Which means I will have to come back, pack it, and move it myself. Which is not that bad, because I have a hand truck and I can borrow Ron’s truck. I also don’t think I will have time to remove everything from the walls before they get here. Again… another thing that can wait. What can’t wait is all the heavy stuff. The furniture and boxes of books, cd’s, dvd’s, etc. Oh well, I’ve have to come back to clean a little anyway. and I do mean A LITTLE. Let them use my deposit to hire cleaners. I’m totally cool with that.

Pru is still here. I’m going to take her over to the house early in the morning. I don’t want her spending her first night there without me. My baby kitty. Besides, if I am going to stay up all night, I’m going to need her to keep me company.

Oh man… my stepdad is great. I told him I was moving in on the 29th, and he thought I meant Saturday. Nope. Tomorrow. He’s totally not ready for me to move in, and I am totally not ready to move out, but the movers are showing up any way. The good news is he found a place to live. A little cottage on the water and the rent is less than my rent here! Hooray!! So this weekend is going to consist of a whole bunch of stuff shuffling. But there are two rooms that are completely empty, and ready for me: my bedroom and the bathroom. What more do you need, huh?
You would not believe how much stuff you really have, until you try to put it into boxes. I was packing my bathroom, thinking – small room, not much stuff. Oh how wrong I was.
I have not had time to do any research for my NaNoWriMo project. I am glad that I have next week off as well, and more time to write, as I am going to take a little time to plan out some essential elements. Since it is a murder mystery. Other than that, I’m winging it, again. I figure one of three things will happen. One – it sucks ass. Two – it turns out ok, despite the seat of my pants writing technique. Three – it turns out to be more of an exercise in preparing for a mystery, than a mystery itself. That is to say, i will be working out a lot of details as I go along. At the end of the 50k, I might have prepared myself to THEN write a mystery. Who knows.
An important announcement about commenting. Kids, I am sick of spam. It makes me so angry. I don’t like to be angry. So here is what I am going to do. I am going to turn on registration needed. It works like this, if you have a type key ID, your comment will show up immediately. If you do not, you will have to wait for my approval. The benefit of a type key ID is that it is a single sign on for any MovableType blog that requires it. One user name, one password, all access. It’s private, and none of your information is sold to anyone. Go check it out, I encourage you to get one. I’ve already encountered a couple of blogs that require it. I will, however, hold off on this change until I have internet access at Casa Nueva de los Hodi. And I am pretty Jodi-on-the-spot about checking comments, so approval shouldn’t take too long. I wish there was a way to require approval only once, but I can’t find a way. Life is not perfect.

right now i’ve entered panic mode. no way everything will be packed up by friday at 8 am. must not lose focus. must stay up all night. wait, this is wednesday. ok, i can sleep tonight, but not thursday night.
out of trash bags. must go get more. at this point, i am throwing away more stuff than i am packing, it seems.

This time I mean. It really is the 500th post. Yay!
Ok, now that that is over with…
Washington State School District Says Halloween Disrespectful of Witches. Of course it’s Puyallup.. OF COURSE!! That’s just brilliant. You know what I say? Fuck the witches if they can’t take a joke. Even the parents are sad. The little kids don’t get to dress up or have a party. Not even one of those lame PC Harvest Parties. God that school district sucks. What is this world coming to?
Oh, and you know what else? Christmas is disrespectful to jolly fat men and Little People. What do you say to that, Puyallup?

As of this moment, I have nine boxes of books. And I am not done yet. I wasn’t far off in my original estimate of ten boxes, I think. But I am having a very hard time waking up this morning. Very sleepy. I didn’t do much of it last night. Sleeping. So I have decided to go to linens n’ things and buy a new shower curtain for the newly redone bathroom at the house. The plastic one that is up there now is not suitable. It’s what we, in the family, call a baby-shit brown. Probably wasn’t as bad when the cabinets and counters were still that school bus yellow. But know that everything is a nice clean white… blech.
