Up to my ears

Boxes. Everywhere. Up to my ears and a bit beyond.

But we’re almost packed. We’re getting down to the odds and ends, and I’m even packing tiny boxes into bigger ones just to make life a little easier. Finishing up tomorrow won’t be a problem. The movers show up Friday. We bug the heck out of here Saturday.

I’ve gotten all the utilities turned off here and on there… we’ll just have to wait and see who can apply clue and who can’t. We found a spare DSL modem while we were going through miscellaneous electronica, and we’re borrowing a spare computer from a friend, so if the phone company has half a clue, we’ll have connectivity on arrival.

The Goth-kitties are putting on their very best tolerant faces, the ways of housemonkeys being unaccountable. They’re hanging out in the bedroom a lot, as that’s the room that has changed least. The plan for Friday is to pop them into the walk-in closet with their litterbox and some fleece; that way nobody can escape, nobody can accidentally get underfoot, and nobody gets panicked by strangers. They’ll still be unhappy, but such is life.

Folks are checking out the new IR-Managers site; I expect word will get ’round as time goes by. I RSSified the forum today, so if you just want to track it, now you can. Posting thus far is fairly reticent, and I don’t have a whole lot of time to juice things up for all the obvious reasons, but Amazoogle wasn’t built in a day, and neither will this be.

I will be very, very glad when it is Saturday and we’re in the new place. These last few days are just tiresome.
