The Big Day


I expect there will be very little in the way of communication today -- perhaps the occasional burst of annoyance or alarm on Twitter or Facebook, but not much more. It all must be dealt with today. So I've got my kick-ass on and I'm ready for disaster-solving.

Of course I'm writing this from the relative luxury of yesterday because I am a Time Lord (or else I just know how to set posts to appear at a later time), where I can take a moment to say thanks to everyone (because I ache all over and it feels good to sit down for a moment). Thanks to everyone who helped (hopefully today that means Bertie is up here), who had brilliant suggestions or calming words as the need may have arisen, who listened to my endless whinging on Twitter (>_<') and everyone who took things! Grateful, grateful, especially grateful to Barb and Catherine for duty above and beyond with the precious things.

By the end of the day Kipper should be adjusting to his new foster home; he's a tough guy despite his pampered lifestyle. After all, he was tossed over a backyard fence as a baby, so it's all good since then. I should be down in Hudson with my two bags, computer and kantele, quite likely getting a nice meal from my brother and solace from Connor who will probably be licking my face as I fall asleep (I am so tired) perhaps even in my dinner. But all this will be done (oh yes, yes, it must).

I will miss all my friends in the area so much! Sad to be leaving you for a time, but so very happy that I have such wonderful friends to miss. And you know I'll be back -- all my stuff is here!

I'll be back! I left all my stuff here. And who are you, mystery blogger profile?

That's Kipper's new online ID...

Bon voyage! (And, of course, you'll continue blogging, I assume...)

And who's the woman in the photo?

I can't imagine much that would keep me from blogging. Oh, poor Todd, you haven't met River Song yet. My new role model ;-)

Hello from the first circle of hell. If moving is all I can look forward to in the next life, I shall never die. Although moving is killing me...

Todd Mason said...

I have become extremely reluctant to do so, myself (to River Song, that is). Condolences.

I thought that Moll Flanders looked familiar, but Elizabeth Corday looks slightly different there compared to when I last saw her, and I didn't quite place Boudica...

Dr. Who on adventures:

The Doctor: That's a fairy tale.
River Song: [laughs] Oh Doctor. Aren't we all?

Have fun with your next chapter in your story!

@Todd -- I never saw ER.

@Lou -- thanks; I just wish this final part of the previous adventure were over already.
