I’ve been here a month now, and this is the first time I’ve heard kids outside. I wasn’t sure there were any.
Damn sight better than the daycare center outside the window, that’s for sure.

Those bulk-bin bags at Fairway aren’t very strong.
Cleanup at Register 8!
Quite possibly the best thing ever.
I’m considering slicing it very thin and making veggie banh mi or Cuban sandwiches with it.
Sugarplum’s lost two pounds! And all I did was change her from dry food to canned, the highest-protein kind I could find. That’s it.
I almost want to take her in to the vet just for the vindication. And, well, she could stand to have her teeth cleaned. And Junebug needs a rabies shot, especially with that raccoon hanging around the neighborhood.
This whole not-having-internet-at-work thing is really cutting into my posting time. Even if I don’t actually post at work, I can at least keep an eye on the news and what other blogs are saying. So I have to do that at home, which means I spend all my time reading and little posting.
Though, in some respects, I’m caring less.
The lefty blogosphere really showed its ugly side during the primaries, and I’ve lost my taste for a lot of it. I’ve removed a lot of blogs I used to read regularly from the blogroll here because of the way they changed during the primary; others I just don’t get around to reading. And, well, I’m not sure I miss it very much.
I’m glad I still have this place, where I can talk about whatever’s on my mind whether or not it has to do with politics. But I don’t really link to other blogs here, and few people read it. Which is just how I like it, frankly.
And one of these days, I’ll find the cord to my camera so I can download some photos, and I can start foodblogging again. I’m so happy to have my knives and my pots and pans again, and it’s not so brutally hot anymore. I’m now right near this fantastic grocery store, Fairway. It’s right on the bus line that goes by my apartment, and they deliver free if you spend over $100. I’ve only been there once, but it’s Grocery Wonderland. I should be able to find some interesting stuff to play with.
Tomorrow’s the big day; I’m moving into my new apartment.
Jesus, moving sucks. And this one’s going to be easier than the last one two months ago, since I got rid of a HUGE amount of stuff then, and I’ve gotten rid of even more stuff (mostly papers, non-perishable food, the cable box and socks with holes).
But it would be easier still if I didn’t have so much crap left. My fantasy is to divest myself of enough crap that I could live in an Airstream trailer or on a boat or in a small cabin.
Ha!
Goal for now: Move without hurting myself again. I think it can be done; I’ve got two people helping me move out of the sublet, so I can avoid going up and down the stairs until we get to the new place by doing a fire line down the stairs with me at the bottom, loading the car. Only one flight of stairs at the new place, with all three of us taking the stuff up. The kitties will be the last out of the sublet and the first into the new place, and this time I’ll be able to get them into the bathroom before we start so they’re safe and less stressed out.
Sucky thing: I won’t get cable and internet until Tuesday, and no cooking gas until Thursday. The power will be on, though! So the washer will work.
