Getting set up in California
It has been a very complicated few days. It started Friday by getting up at 3:30 to drug the cat and get everyone to the airport for our 5:30 flight. Friday afternoon and Saturday were a haze of giant stores, Ikea, Walmart, Pet Co, Vons, Raphs, and more to equip the new place. Sunday was devoted to buying a car. I'm the proud owner of a Honda Civic. Monday we looked at couches and dust ruffles. All very boing, domestic, and exausting. It turns out that buying a red fabric couch is much harder than buying a lether one. I wonder why.
I brought 2 sets of cutlery, a knife, a pot and cutting board, and that combined with my leather man to open cans was enough to make a few meals. Other than that, we built furniture, swam in the pool, soaked in the hot tub, took walks in the park and tried to do anything but deal with the fact that Mrs OneEyedMan was leaving Tuesday night. Sometimes, we even suceeded. But she left last night and it was horrible. Today was better, but still horrible.
Come visit.
