Moving, and Murphy's law...

Murphy's law being what it is, I have decided to give myself some leeway (and thus added stress), by moving the second-to-last weekend in February, if this is okay with ai731.

See, I figure that if I move the last weekend of February, there will be a giant blizzard that will descend upon the city, thus preventing me from doing anything useful, and screwing me royally.

So I'm giving myself some leeway, even though it gives me less time to pack.


Thus, Montreal people: would any of you kind souls be free that weekend to help a gal take her stuff down the Staircase of Doom and over (via U-Haul truck, of course) to the new place and back up one flight of stairs?

Naturally, there will be compensation provided in the form of much food and drink.



There isn't *that* much furniture, to reassure you. Only about two really heavy pieces (maybe three, I might be forgetting one), and the rest are light, if unwieldy. Some of it even folds and/or dismantles conveniently. :)

I'll also be doing a fair amount of schlepping of light stuff on my own in the next two weeks, so that we don't have to bring huge amounts of boxes and shit on the final day of moving. This is the plan, anyway.

What say?


Also, can you think of anyone who might be willing to help on that weekend who doesn't read LJ?

Thanks in advance. :)

In profuse strains of unpremeditated art...

In other words, GIP!

Yes, I know, it's not the right kind of bird. Sue me. I was feeling poetic. Brownie points to the first person to get the reference without the help of Google. ;) If you're local, I might even bake brownies in my new kitchen come March.

I shall now stop procrastinating and go clean.

Oh, but before I do, I must say that, not surprisingly, I rock like a rocking thing.

I got a letter back from the government today telling me that they've reviewed my file and that, all things considered, they aren't going to charge me retroactively for potentially close to $6,000 worth of meds for the past year or so because I was "insured" under another plan. (Please note the ironic quotation marks)

Boo yeah! I rock and they do not. The case was pretty open and shut, but still. There are no limits to the assfuckery of which the Québec government is capable, I have discovered.

Okay. Am off to test the new cat litter.

My cats are completely unsophisticated

They have gone batshit over the new litter. Which just goes to show. Every time I switch them from something slightly more expensive over to cheap generic stuff they go bonkers and thrive. They did it with the food and now they're doing it with the litter.

If anyone ever says to me that cats have discriminating taste or are finicky, I will laugh in their face.

So, yeah. The new litter is a success. I'm not sure if it's the litter, or the fact that I opted to add baking soda to it in order for it not to make the apartment reek. Either way, there was a general rush to the litter boxes that was rather reminiscent of the rush to the washrooms after the end of Return of the King (because damn, that movie was long!).

So I'm thinking it's all good.

In the meantime, in spite of my thinking I don't have that much furniture, I still have a ton of shit to pack and/or throw out. Egadz, I'm looking forward to when this whole moving process will be over.

Can someone please tell me...

That they can see my entries in my LJ?

I just tried changing my style, and now I can't see *any* of my entries. They're public. Please, someone tell me they're there, *before* I freak out.

I'm sure it's just a glitch, but I am unamused.

I think I screwed something in my coding...

Damn my total lack of comprehension of html. *sigh*

More news later.

:::ETA:::

I think I can fix this...

Yep.

Fixed.

:::is smug:::

Woah...

That was bizarre.

I was just thinking of Blythe, my Mage character, when out of the blue LJ emails me saying that someone has requested the password for the LJ I created for her back when we were still playing, blithe_spirit.

I have no idea who requested the password, and they'll never get it, of course, because it's my account, but that's just freaky. Maybe it's just LJ having its own little freakout the way it's been doing all day.

Of course, I was thinking of her because of my latest icon... how's that for coincidence?
