Motivation over the past few days? Severely lacking.
I’m run a bit ragged. I’m not really ready to move, but I have to anyway. There are more loose ends left here to tie up than I’d like… and there are more of them waiting for me in Indiana than I’d like.
Really, when it comes right down to it, I just want to whine until someone finishes all this crap for me. Luckily for everyone, I know that’s not ever going to happen so I don’t think I’m going to bother whining. But I guess this counts as whining, doesn’t it?
Oops.
Anyway, yesterday I said goodbye to folks. More of that today. Laura got me a pretty awesome going away present… a DVD of Strongbad Emails and a nifty little gallon-sized cooler thing that looks like a keg. Neat. Kim got me Garden State on DVD. Presumably so I can watch it and think about how awesome it would be if Sam were a real person. Laura’s niece and nephew sent a really cute card. Tonight had dinner with Michael and his Rachel. Also got new front tires. Will need new rear ones before Christmas.
Right now? Avoiding work that just has to get done. What’s wrong with me?
Interesting note: I sent my flash drive through the washer and the dryer. It survived… and with no loss of data, so far as I can tell. That’s pretty awesome.
Kecia moved in today, Mom and Dad got to see the place. Everyone likes it — it looks good now that it’s cleaned up. Pictures later. Some important information that you (might) need to know: I will be driving to Birmingham at a yet-unknown time tomorrow and spending some time with Abby. I’ll leave for Indiana on Monday morning and will be driving until early afternoon. You can reach me on the cell during that drive and if I’m not singing too loudly with the radio to hear the phone ring, I will talk your ear off for as long as you’ll let me.
Hopefully we will have internet at the house ready to go when I get there on Monday, but that’s not a definite thing. Kec is going to see what she can do to make that happen. If it doesn’t, I’ll be back on Tuesday. Or maybe Wednesday. For those of you needing my new address to send my house-warming present…
1262 Cobblefield Ct.
Bloomington, IN 47401
That cell phone number, just in case you’ve lost it, is (205) 301-4912. I don’t anticipate changing it.
A lot of folks take Tuscaloosa for granted — I’m sure going to miss it, though.
Have a safe trip… See you when you make it back in for a football game–what could be more important than that??
