Seems that the woman who lives upstairs is getting deployed in 2 weeks. She'll be gone until January of 2007. I'm sad for her, since I think it'll be really tough for her. She warned us that this might happen, and was dreading it. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to face leaving your life behind and going someplace that's rather unpleasant. It's her second deployment.
What this means for us: We will be moving again. We're going to move upstairs into her place while she's gone. That way, we can find a renter for our place and take care of the whole property while she's gone. There's more room, a better kitchen and better garage access. So all of this is good. We'll also finally get to meet our landlady- who lives in Spain or Portugual (I can't remember which- I'll just call it the Iberian Peninsula).
Good news- bigger place for the same price. Bad news- we have to move again.
Good news- same basic address. Bad news- our friend is going away- and her cats are being placed elsewhere too.

"someplace that's rather unpleasant" has GOT to be the understatement of the week, no?
I'd say Iraq is Purgatory (if that's where she's headed).
It's part of where she's headed. She's probably going to spend some time elsewhere too. But it's all pretty upsetting. She has 3 cats to deal with, all of her posessions, the house, her truck, everything. We're going to do what we can- her parents are driving out from fucking Kansas to help- we'll probably be adopting one of her kitties for the duration...and moving again...
so how many cats will you have?
That's too bad about your upstairs neighbor! I hope the time passes safely for her. Oy. Stupid pointless stupid war.
Moving again is a hassle, but at least that's the shortest move you've had yet. Let us know if you need help.
Scott- looks like 3 officially ours, maybe 1 foster kitty. That's still kind of TBD.
Allison- Thanks for the offer! I'll let you know if we need you guys. But it's so above and beyond to ask you again! You are SO my friend!
YOU'RE an Iberian Peninsula! Hahahahahahahahahahahah!
No you are. I am a Dungeness Spit. So there.
I don't WANT to be an Iberian Peninsula. I want to be Hawaii. Ha!
