• Packing is done.

  At least at home - not so much so at work. I find it humorous that I shall be packing there too.

  All that remains now is to move my computer - that is going on
  Wednesday. Though it will be in an entirely different shape than it is
  now. My poor little thing does need a revamping. And a new DVD drive as
  mine is dead. Apparently Windows 98, even the SE, is a bit out dated.
  Of course, I have to finish yanking that which I actually want off of
  my computer. I also have the necessities - contact stuff, soap, clothes
  for the days until Friday, that sort of stuff. I've got probably one
  more load full of stuff ready to go over the fiance's house, just
  sitting in my living room.

  My poor cats are very, very concerned. Stuff is leaving, I keep going
  away and their lives are just slightly upset right now. Somehow, I
  think that on Friday when I stuff their fat-asses into cat carriers and
  cart them across town that they are going to be even MORE upset.
  However, that will have nothing on their displeasure when I shut them
  up - alone - in a little room. They will not be allowed out without
  supervision for about a week or so. I don't think having giant-ass cat
  fights in the middle of the bed while we try to sleep in it will really
  work.

  Hopefully, this plan can be stuck too.

  However, things never really follow plans and I know this. My
  grandmother is in the hospital and has been for over a week now. I
  drove up to see her with my sibs and the babies (3.5 hours and then 3.5
  hours back). She is in the ICU (again) and we were allowed only a few
  minutes to see her. I'm personally preparing for the worst. I just
  really hope my parents make it back from Hawaii (their second vacation
  in over 25 years of marriage) to see her.

  I'm thinking that things are going to be odd when I first am actually
  LIVING with the fiance. We both have very specific ways of doing
  things...and I'm thinking the period of adjustment could be a little
  longer than I'd like. However, we do both actually discuss what we want
  done specific ways - for example, he likes to wash his towels (all
  white and matching) in hot water with bleach and fabric softner and I
  have a specific order in which I insist upon washing my dishes (cups,
  plates and bowls, pans and then silverware) and I also insist that
  knives NEVER go in the sink until the washer puts them in there.
  Perhaps we're weird but I think we can get along. *snort* Now if only
  the cats will...

  I'm also anticipating being caught doing things. Such as...plucking
  hairs or facial masks or (even worse) my dancing in my underwear and
  singing along at the top of my lungs to golden oldies while I clean
  habit...I'm sure it will be humorous eventually.
