I think it's nervous behavior because they sense that something very different is about to happen. I've been packing, packing, packing.... and it feels neverending. Been selling a lot of stuff on Craigslist (and the ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/we-are-all-stressed-out/ Okay. Sold the car. For less than I really wanted to sell it for, but.... it's gone and it's sold and I'm glad to have it not hanging over my head anymore. And really....I bought the car 6 years ago for $7,000 more than I just sold it for, so ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/wellthats-done/ I forgot to mention that I got my hair cut today.... and I think I hate it. I wanted to cut it a little bit shorter... so I said "shoulder" length. Which I guess just means something really different to me than it did to the stylist. It *barely* goes into ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/shoulder-and-chin-are-two-different-body-parts-right/ So...how on earth did I end up with eight (8!) shower curtain rods? This move is so overwhelming. And...why in the heck will no one buy my car!? http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/garage-sale-on-saturday-ugh/ I was going to go to bed really early, but now the phone keeps waking me up. Anyway, this thing with moving the cats to Ohio is becoming quite expensive. I have to get health certificates for them, and the cheapest vet I can find will do them for $50 ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/the-phone-keeps-ringing/ So.... since I've gotten totally over stressed with not knowing what to plan for, I've decided on a "plan for now" that has already resulted in a much reduced level of stress. Thanks to the amazing generosity and kindness of Patti and Scott, I'm planning now to move myself, my ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/a-then-there-was-a-plan/ So, I'm working away on this pinwheel blanket using some Noro Transitions yarn that has been whining at me for almost 2 years since I bought it. I've finally knit through all the Noro (after breaking the longest cable I had, and having to buy 3 32 inch needle to ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/06/errata-for-scalloped-leaves-knitting-on-the-edge/ Some of the only blue sky we saw.... (I wish I knew how to photoshop that dude out of the way). http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/05/through-the-windshield/ Back from Yosemite. It was..... wet. Really, really, wet. Well, and really fun, too, although I still feel as though I haven't had the full Yosemite experience. The waterfalls were beautiful this time... I think... except for 60% of the time we were hiding from the rain under the tarp. ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/05/not-exactly-as-i-had-thought/ I hate when doors are propped. Hate it, hate it. Not so much doors to people rooms, which I actually like, but doors to the outside. The only form of security we have in our buildings is locked doors. Anyway, yesterday there was a flipflop propping open a side door to ... http://www.withinwithout.org/2008/05/pet-peeves/
