Sequestered

January 16, 2009

Carl & I are up in our room while Rey entertains friends on his last night in town for a while. We want to let them have their space, so we are upstairs. We actually have two (three if you count the bathroom) to choose from. Ashlan might be a little worried that we have so much time to spend in her room, but we have chosen to keep to our own room for the most part.
Dinner (of sorts) and Jeopardy so far.
Interesting evening ahead.

Packing boxes

January 16, 2009

Packing has begun!
The end is in sight. Or is it a beginning?
Well it will be a change, for everyone.

A new, and exciting start.
Exciting as in planning a drive across the northern tier states in the middle of winter, when the temperatures are reaching record lows in places, and the snow continues to fall and blow. [No, I’m not in the least concerned.]
Exciting as in living in a new state, with new roommates (assuming a domicile is found), and starting a new job.

I am almost jealous. And I will definitely miss my crossword partner. And Carl will miss his sports conversationalist, one that can do more than nod and offer less than insightful remarks. But we will gain a new spot to put on the summer vacation plans. (More on vacation plans coming soon.)

Anyway, packing has begun in earnest. Laundry planned for tomorrow, and then the final push to fill those last boxes.
