Welcome to Arizona!

Well, actually, we’ve been here since about 2pm (Mountain time, that’s
4pm for those of you in the Midwestern areas). Today was about 84 and
sunny – which was lovely and I didn’t even get sunburnt.

It does make up for the snow in Tulsa….but I will get to that.

Let’s see…

The trip in a very short overview.
We were supposed to get a car dolly to tow my car – they were out of
dollies at U-Haul so we got a free upgrade to a trailer. Nice, I
suppose. Trailers are more expensive and easier to drive with but a
bitch on the gas mileage. It also meant that the Sunday afternoon
during which my father was nice enough to train us in driving with a
dolly was a bit of a waste. Ah well. Still need to send him a thank you
card I think.

Anyway, it was about 19F and we had no coats (packed already) on
Tuesday when we were trailering the car (a bit difficult, if you’ve
never done it, the wheel wells on the trailer actually prevent the car
door from opening all the way – that took some serious work). Of
course, we were already used to the cold as we spent all morning
packing the semi-truck trailer that ABF was hauling for us. I missed my
coat. And my hat and my gloves.

Other interesting things that happened – 2 inches of snow in Tulsa.
Freezing temps across most of the states – we didn’t clear 40 until we
were leaving Flagstaff, AZ. Zeppo yowled for four hours the first day
(out of about 14) and then for about an hour the second day (again out
of about 14). However, the last day (today) which was about 6 or so
hours – he yowled basically the whole time – until we turned on the
air. He was apparently hot. Who knew?

I was amused at certain city names: Tightwad, MO and Kellyville, OK
come to mind. Saw lots of dead things – a coyote, two dogs and a cow
being the most interesting.

We’re basically moved in – at least the stuff that we have with us. Our
semi-truck of shit will not be here for probably another 3 to 5 days.
But at least I have the internet.

OOoooo. And I had Chipotle’s for dinner.

Last day.

Tonight, the computers go offline.

Tomorrow we leave for Tulsa, OK.
Thursday, it’s Gallup, NM.

Friday – Mesa, AZ.

I’ll see you later!

Well.

The trailer is now about 75 to 85% packed.

I hurt.
I’m tired and sweaty and icky.

But we’re nearly there.

Three more days.

I have a job interview for a real job on March 28th!

(squeals quietly to self, then sneezes, sighs and heads back to pack yet more stupid boxes)

((I also have a cold. Yuck))

Yesterday it was 68 when I got up in the morning. It was windy, but sunny and generally good weather.

It snowed last night. And now it is 30 degrees out with a windchill of 18!

Indiana weather is just evil.
Evil!

Aren’t they cute?

My profile I mean.

That’s Boots giving Possum a bath because she’s a dirty girl.

Edited to add:

They could be neckin’.
They are incestuous little kitties.
When they were in heat…oh buddy. Anything. Including shoes, doors, pencils…each other…
it truly was distrubing to see. And a true example of the “beauty” of nature.

Five things I do in my spare time:

1.) Read.

2.) Cross-stitch.

3.) Eat!

4.) Play Kingdom of Loathing.

5.) Job hunt.

Because I like to borrow things:

Our federal tax refund just posted to our bank account.

Yay for MONEEEEEEY!

(I’m very excited…but now I want to go shop. Bad me.)

These cards tickled my funny bone.

In other news
I’m starving to death.
At least for this week.
Maybe next week will be better.
