the meerkat has landed. I repeat, the meerkat has landed.

Although not without some crisis and uh-ohs (to quote my dad: "well, you managed to come up with some new moving disaster stories, I didn't think that was possible"), the move is 98% complete [waiting only to unload K's car when he gets back], the furniture is arranged, the cats have found their preferred places, and I have cable and connectivity again.

Thanks are definitely due to kradical who is a Hero of the Revolution, and smoemeth who now knows what a meerkat not-pleased-with-herself looks like. Oh, and highest recs for a moving company called "Two Men and a Truck." Their guys were fast, efficient, friendly, and had both manners and good humor. They're also not cheap, but it was worth every penny.

So. Yes. Installed at new address. I've even managed to empty out all the boxes that don't contain books, and break them down. The bookcases may wait for a while -- there are these things called deadlines that are calling my name again, and the social whirl begins this afternoon with a visit from msdori.

Move's over. Back to work.

But first I have to find the *(&$^! coffee....

EtA: no way in hell I'm reading the f-list, backeards or present, until things are caught up. If I should know something, please point me toward it...
