the moving truck is gone

[JackieOnLine]

and I'm just camping in the house til Friday. I was up most of the night packing (but got a 3 hour nap this afternoon) but I cared increasing less as time went on. basically just throwing crap in boxes and then writing "misc" on it. by they time it was taped up I would forget what was in it.

Fritz goes to the vet tomorrow to gets his stitches out - YAY. there is one little spot of pus, though, on one wound.

he has these bouts of racing around trying to scrape his cone off and banging into things. sometimes he accidentally hits me with his cone and other times he does it on purpose!

no TV but who cares? tonight I read A Game of Throne - guilt free!

A peaceful life of simplicity for a few days? Or time to stay in a posh hotel somewhere else, as a treat?

 

[JackieOnLine]

I guess the simplicity thing - camping on the floor - got my blowup mattress that is very comfy but nowhere to sit.

right now I'm standing. prolly go to bed at 8!

Where are you headed Jackie? We did this when we moved fro Hawaii to the Bay Area. We had to wait 2 weeks to get our stuff from the Port of Richmond. We had a dog and a cat. I went to Target and purchased a pan, pot, 2 place settings, and a cheap rice cooker. I was already working so it was difficult to get up and moving every morning. Not fun....

I hope your move goes smooth as silk!

Best of luck with the move!!!!

I'm glad Fritz is feeling better.

You get a well deserved sigh of relief now.

I'm going to Carson City, Nevada; thanks for the good wishes.

woke up all disoriented, thinking I must already be there. but going to sleep with a big enough bed (my real one is only a twin) for me and the dogs was heavenly. both Sam & Fritz are bed hogs, like cats tend to be.

I start work on Monday and don't know how long it will be til I get my stuff. could be two weeks: the company doesn't have any other loads going that direction yet.

I anticipate many store runs for things I can't do without.

Glad Fritz is feeling bettter! Good luck with the move...

Fritz has his same personality 100% I am happy to say - I doubt he remembers the attack at all, pretty sure he went into shock right away since he never made a noise, with his injuries I was surprised.

and when he sees other dogs (outside the fence) he still assumes he can chase them away with his Loud Studley Macho Self.

 

[southernlady]

Don't be surprised if he decides to not like dogs based on color...

Desi was chased by a big black dog early on...he's despised black dogs ever since.

Good luck with the move and job!!!!

I moved a week ago Tuesday. When your stuff comes see if you can try and take some time. Maybe not open all the boxes in a day and a half.

 

[JackieOnLine]

umm...I found 2 boxes that were not completely unpacked from when I moved here 1 1/2 years ago so
the following will not be an issue:

Maybe not open all the boxes in a day and a half

but if that's what you did, I admire you!

We are just starting this adventure. Almost 17 years of life has been reduced to a minimum. Movers coming the 23rd. Still waiting for it to hit me.

Glad your Fritz is weathering the Cone of Shame so well.

You need a king sized bed, dear. I highly recommend a pillow top and a very nice, upholstered headboard. A girl needs luxury.
