Monday, Monday

Once again on my patio with no kitties in site. I think I need a drink -- hold on -- okay, I made a vodka gimlet with some old Rose's lime juice and grabbed some brunch leftovers from yesterday. Fresh mozzarella and tomato salad and some cheese grits. Yummy! Of course Maximillan had to stick his little nose in there somewhere. :)

I had an epiphany the other day and decided that I just need to start making plans for my move and everything else will fall into place. Since that call to universe I have cleaned my condo and had 2 appointments for viewing TODAY. How cool is that??!!

So, now when people ask me when I leave, I say "the end of July." I will either be using a door to door shipper like Sarah did or follow Jasson and Andrea's lead and hire movers. Either way, I will be driving my car with my father and my cats.

I decided NOT to stress about housing in Davis. I have some great offers from friends of friends to scout out apartments and once I hear about the cute cottage on University, I will either have someone stop by J Street or ask for my deposit back and try something else. I am really not worried.

Other than that things have been very quiet. Okay, maybe not too quiet. Saturday morning I got up early to head to Markie's for the annual yard sale. I got there around 7 and stayed until about 9:40AM since I had to be at Souper Jenny's at 10AM. After work on Saturday, I went to a weddin'! Bobby Box from the Center for Puppetry Arts got married to his partner, Graham in the back of the Center. The ceremony was beautiful and I was able to catch up a little with my Anne Frank cronies. The scary thing is that I got home around 8PM, peeked at the West Elm catalogue and was asleep by 8:30PM. Kinda weird, huh?

I slept straight through until 6:30AM on Sunday and did a bit of house clean-up. Since I had that bout of vertigo earlier in the week, I think my body just needed a bit of rest and relaxation.

I got out of Souper Jenny a little early yesterday. Since the final performance of Synchronicity's Miss Nelson is Missing was on a waiting list I went to see Merrideth's kid show -- Bedwetter's Anonymous. I am very proud of that gal. She put in so much time, effort and love and the performance was really great. Jenny and Jonah sat behind me and it was so great watching Jonah's wide eyes at all of the sangin' and a-dancin'. Afterwards, I stopped home to change my stinky shirt and stopped by Markie's to get my plastic tubs and my $44 that I made in the sale. I started looking through the truck with the stuff that was going to Goodwill. I had to stop since I really need to continue to unload and not take in any more crap. Then I drove to Jen's house where I was promptly told to take off my shoes by the naked Mr. Jonah. We played with the treehouse and then I took out the beginnings of my grits and tomato & mozz salad and joined Jenn in a glass of wine. Her backyard is equally enjoyable as mine. Okay, maybe hers is a little cooler. Mine, however, is nice and private. Just for me.

Rachel Miller arrived to watch Jonah and Jenn & I went to see Black Book at Tara. The movie was excellent. The acting was very good and you can never get too many stories out of that crazy WWII. Really. I think we are going to be making movies and writing books for many years to come.

I am supposed to meet Chris, Angela and Suehyla at The Angel in Decatur in 30 minutes, so I guess I should finish up my cocktail, get out of my grubby t-shirt and get on the road...
