I’m Not Right, I’m Not Fine

I totally neglected to mention that we did make it to Alaska, and that, so far, we like it.

There is definitely some culture shock going on, especially involving the dead moose currently outside, but..im ignoring that rather grisly example.

Town is cool, but very small, and the boardwalks are interesting..especially because many of the boards need to be replaced. And so, several of them sag alarmingly when you step on them. But if the 4 wheelers dont collapse through, im guessing we should be ok.

However, this post really has nothing to do with Alaska. This post has to do with music.

My favorite band’s, Sister Hazel, newest album is available for preorder, and here’s a link. Please to click it.

Duh

You would *think* that after having the Spiral for several several years, that I would, in face, remember to do useful things, like save my css, when Im upgrading to a new version.

You would think.

*facepalm*

Free at Last!

We are still hanging out down here in Denver, and, besides not having any furniture or cable, we arent having a bad time of it.

So far, we’ve been to the zoo, to the science musuem, to Hammond’s Candy factory tour…all of which were free. And then we ruined all of that goodness by going to Isis and The Tattered Cover, which pretty much destroyed any money we might have used elsewhere.

Brandus’s folks are coming in to town tomorrow for his graduation on Friday, so we’ll get to see them some. And Ive got to run back up to Greality to check the mail and shove stuff in the storage unit. And go by the vet to pick up stronger meds for the cats on the flight.

Pretty busy.

But, we have a new bank account through Wells Fargo, which has a branch here and in Anchorage. There is no money in it, but we have it.

We have no money at all, really, with the buying stuff for the move, and shipping packages, and paying for a storage unit and stuff. Which would probably explain why everything we have been doing, with the exception of book buying and eating, has been free. Yay, free!

Go Into the Light

Currently, we’ve gotten the hell outta dodge, and are parked at Brandus’s grandparent’s. Yep, that one.

Anyway, we brought the cats, as we would, and they’ve been getting used to it mostly.

Except its highly possible that Fizgig is seeing ghosts.

The hallway to the master bedroom is endlessly fascinating, and she will pace up and down it and whine and whine. Even though we are sitting within five feet of her.

In the living room, she is constantly on guard, pouncing and leaping on nothing, and constantly tracking SOMETHING with her eyes.

We’ve got ghosts.

Or possibly fairies.

Packing In

We have spent the last four days doing nothing but packing.

Packing to ship to Alaska.

Packing to store.

Packing crap we dont want anymore into boxes for donation, or bags for trash.

We have two weeks left.

And by tonight, I wont even have a bed anymore. *cries* Tonight is the only time Brandus’s friend Dave can bring his truck down and help us. So, the bed, the dresser, the coffee table..everything that I cant possibly lift or help move will be gone by tonight.

Air mattress. Yay.
