1 down, 4 to go.

Attention, Louisville residents: It will rain on Tuesday, August 9. You might as well mark it on your calendar, and don't plan any outdoor weddings or other events. The reason I know that it will rain is because we have to be there for M's citizenship interview, and it always fucking rains when we go to the INS.

Anyway, today was a Monday, and tomorrow is a Tuesday, and folks, that's the only thing new in my little world. At least, everything that I haven't already mentioned. I finished up one project this morning, which made me happy, but now I have to go back to that other thing I was doing before, and that makes me less happy. In general, life as usual. I have been attacking my to-do list with a vengeance because I have a very short amount of time to get a whole lot of things done. We're leaving in two and a half weeks, which is totally unreal. I went over after work to pick up the most expensive pieces of paper I've ever purchased--the plane tickets have arrived and are now waiting on my desk. Somehow, that makes it sound a little more real and upcoming than before. :)

Also, I got a call from J tonight, and we stayed on the phone much, much too long, as usual, and so now my ear is burning and it's time to go to bed. But still, nice to hear from her, and the good news is that she got a job. If she hadn't, they would probably be looking at moving soon, and somewhat selfishly, we didn't want them to. :) However, I'm a little afraid because she mentioned several times that it was time to come pick up our bird. We keep trying to tell them that sadly, our lease prohibits pets, even birds, but it just doesn't stick. ;) (This is a joke, just so you know. Their parrots have had babies, so they have like, nine birds or something at the moment--hence the continual offers to make us bird-owners.)

Sleepy, sleepy. Pretend this is a well-thought-out conclusion. Meanwhile, I'm off to bed.
