the final countdown

weekend starting. dr. w is on her way up to atl from soflo to help me pack up our apartment.

we still haven't heard from our movers. the deal is that her new job pays for the move, but we have to use their movers. well, fair enough. however, three months have gone by, with dr. w pleading with them to get the movers lined up since our lease is up at the end of june. we've got a decent plan b: rent a pod, hire local movers to get our stuff out of the apt and into the pod, and then have the pod company hold our pod in the warehouse until our dc movers can come pick it up and bring it to our new house. since i can cancel up until the day before they drop off the pod, i think i've got a decent plan. of course, much better would be if the hr folks at dr. w's new office actually did their job.

in the kind of sad irony category, i got my car fixed this week at my favorite mechanic is a woman this week, and learned that all of the mechanics there are guys.

long, tiring weekend ahead of us. however, we'll be seeing j-watt's debut performance in 'the dining room,' a community theater performance downtown. break a leg, j-watt.
