Harriet has thus far been a good sport about the moving chaos. I’ve done a lot of moving around, and this is old hat for Pandora (Pandora says, “Yay! Boxes and newspaper!”). Harriet has only been through one move with me, though. She’s spent most of her life with me here, so I know she’s got to be a little anxious.
I spent most of yesterday washing loads and loads and loads of laundry. Harriet spent the whole time on the couch, either under or on top of piles of laundry. I think she likes the feel of being surrounded by warm clothes. While I watched The Amazing Race and folded laundry, Harriet crashed out next to me, with her cheek resting on her leg and her lips all smooshed up.
I took a car load of stuff over to the apartment this morning. It was raining, of course. When I got there, there was a gorgeous moth resting on the front door. He was several shades of red and orange and brown, like a perfect fall leaf. I didn’t get a picture, because I didn’t have my camera with me. There is also a huge funnel weaver spider living between the panes of the dining room window. So, there is wildlife there, though it’s of the teeny tiny variety.
I spent some time unpacking the stuff I’d brought over, and looking around, trying to figure out where I was going to put stuff. I don’t know what on earth I’m going to do with books and CDs and DVDs. They’re currently on shelves attached with L brackets. Each bracket requires three screws. At ~30 shelves, that’s way too many screws. I’m thinking that brace and bracket shelves wouldn’t be so bad. They’re not pretty, but the braces are pretty well hidden by the shelf contents. And, they don’t require anywhere near as many screws as L brackets.
I also spent a crazy amount of time on hold, trying to get utilities sorted out. After doing the math, I’ll be able to get cable (plus DVR), DSL, and phone for less than what I’m currently paying for just Netflix and phone.
