Moving we no likey!

What does it take to get Karen moved from Hays to Salina??????

2 Uhaul dealerships
2 Toyota pickup trucks
3 snack wraps from McDonalds
1 Quarter pounder from McDonalds
1 medium french fries
1 Uhaul moving truck
1 hail storm
1 foot long sub from Subway

...

By the time we made it to Hays, we just threw things into the truck. That took 2 hours, and once we returned to Salina, it took 1 hour to move from the truck into the house. I'm exhausted just THINKING about our move 1.5 months ago!

Esse's big move

My cat, Esperanza del Gato (Esse), moved from Hays to Salina on Friday. Ok, so now since she's living in Erik's house, she's Erik's cat (or so he says!) She doesn't like car trips .... especially LONG car trips. She did a LOT of crying and panting (she does this panting thing in the car, it's strange).

She didn't want to do her business before we left, so of course, 28 miles out of Salina, she took care of it. Thankfully, that was in her carrier.


After that traumatic experience, I "freed Esse." She scampered around Erik's basement, and also enjoyed checking out the upstairs bedrooms.


After she explored, I introduced her to the big, picture window in the living room. It is about the same height as a window in Independence, so I think she'll like it.


Right now, Erik spends lots of time watching Booger and giving me updates. What can I say? I"m pathetic! BUT I also want to be sure the transition is smooth, and so far it has been!
