Post move randomicity

I got back from my final trip to Savannah today.

It's weird but cool, in a way. I now feel more positive about all this.

I'm also digging the new apartment, especially now that I've rearranged my living room so that I have some room to move around. I realized the other day that the arrangement I had before mimicked the one I had at the old place and it was really inefficient and claustophobic. Now I've got this nice clear area in the middle and I can move around.

There are a couple of things I've realized during this move, both of them totally unrelated:

• No matter what, movers will find some way to mess with you. It's happened to me every frakkin' time.
• If you drop a medicine bottle it does not matter how secure the lid is, it will come off, and every single pill or capsule or drop of liquid inside will wind up on the outside, on the ground.

I stopped and spent the night at my dad's on the way back from Savannah--it was something I needed to do but dreaded for a number of reasons. In particular, I have a lot of memories there of Atari and I could feel his ghost there many times. It just sort of tore the bandage off of that wound. Somehow I feel like he knows about this new place and approves, though, which helps. I know, I'm deluding myself, but like John Lennon said, "Whatever gets you through the night . . ."

Talyan, my goddaughter, will appear in three episodes of Two and a Half Men in a row, beginning April 9th. The final one she appears in, on April 30th, is the 200th episode, which is a really big deal. Another guest star on this episode is Kathy Bates, just so you know. Watch for Ava, the unbelievably cute little girl with the English accent.

The oven in my old apartment tripped a breaker every time I used it. I finally realized that this is no longer an issue. My plan is now to make biscuits for breakfast tomorrow. I think I remember how . . .

Anyways, that's about all I have the strength for tonight. I hope you are having a lovely weekend, wherever you are!
