ocelotIt's 4:50.
I'm sleepy finally, but I can't go to sleep, because I'm officially supposed to be up in 10 minutes to go with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
koyote to the airport.
I got to bed at about midnight. Not sure when I actually got to sleep, but some time at least half an hour after that.
I slept reasonably well till 3:00, when I woke up. I then fell back asleep, and had a seemingly very long dream in which I stressed about moving. I woke up, looked at the clock, and it was 3:15.
I lay around for half an hour or so trying to sleep, and then got up. And here I am now.
This most likely means that, as soon as I'm back from the airport, I'll pass out for several hours and then not be able to sleep properly tonight. Grrr.
Too much to do. Monday I have work and a prenatal appointment. Tuesday and Wednesday the movers are here. Thursday I have work in the morning, a take-home final due in one class, and an in-class final, various little assignments, and a paper due (none of which I've actually started yet) in the other (in Sacramento). Friday is my last day at work, my work baby shower, and my mom and stepdad will be arriving and staying till Sunday. We're planning to go to Santa Cruz to visit my brother on Saturday. I fly the Wednesday after that.
I have to have packing of random small things, sorting and donating of stuff that I don't need anymore, and packing for the next month or so done by Tuesday. Everything that potentially requires my physical presence at work should be done by Friday. Two of the cats need to be shipped on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and appropriate kennels need to be obtained prior to this. The van needs to be sold off for whatever we can get for it by...um...Friday, since otherwise I'll need time to arrange to donate it, and the next Monday is Memorial Day. The apartment needs to be cleaned by sometime late Tuesday before I leave, but I'm not overly concerned about that, since I'll have half of Sunday and all of Monday and Tuesday with very little else that needs to be done, and I'm not counting on getting any of the security deposit back anyways. Except I'll have to find someone to lend me a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies, since ours will all be somewhere around Missouri at that point. Bills need to be paid whenever. I need to get to the DMV and get my ID card renewed, since it expires in August, and I'd like to at least have the option of having a California ID in the future. Utilities need to be cancelled. Food needs to be obtained during this time, which will be kind of a pain since, after Tuesday, I will have nothing much available in terms of cooking and eating supplies, and subsiding on fast food and takeout for a week is less than ideal.
Ok, I have now used up my whining quota for the week. I will go shower.
Speaking of showers... on the good side of things, we had a baby shower/going away party yesterday. It was nice. Though I can't help wondering how common it is to have a baby shower where people discuss D&D, Linux, and The Matrix much more than anything having to do with babies :)

Date: 2003-05-18 07:27 am (UTC)A bit of advice regarding the cats: ask the vet if there's anything you can give them to slow them down a bit. A mild tranquilizer helped keep Melissa from going nuts, Zonker seemed to get off on it like he'd just had a bit of weed (but what do you expect from a cat named after Zonker Harris?) and I swear Larry palmed his and sold it to one of the airline attendants. There's also over-the-counter herbal/homeopathic things that can do the same thing, so I have been told.
Once the computers are packed, feel free to call if you have any questions or just want to rant or whine.
