...got into the Boston area tonight with my parents. Will be moving into the apartment in the next few days, and getting situated, before flying back to LA to grab my cat...

I've been terrible about LJ: no good reason. I've been a LUMP. A sleeping, still sleeping, Olympic watching, sleeping some more lump. I don't think I've followed the Olympics this much since '96. I'm more than making up for it this time around, though. My parents almost had to surgically remove me from the couch. And today, I took the driving into my own hands to make sure we got here and checked in before May-Treanor and Walsh got started...:) Totally worth the rush...*queue corny "gold rush" joke*

And.......!!!!!!!! It's been shocking me as I've been realizing it! Dr J and I start the next phase of our relationship: In Which We Are In The Same Town Again.

Need to catch up on entries.

Need to catch up on everything.

But I had a REALLY BEYOND AWESOME TIME this past weekend, with the_marchioness, the_marchioness's friend Moo, and jennlynnfs!!!!!! Will give details, but let's just say that I think the_marchioness and I saw more of LA than some Los Angelinos see in their lifetime.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to A, I turned to the apartment.

I've finished moving and started the next chapter of my life: in which I am a Betty Neels heroine. Took pictures teeny tiny apartment. Will definitely share those, and pics from the LA Tour...

But for now?

I REST.

( Stuffs )

Time is flying. This is good. I hope it flies until I'm walking down the aisle and getting my own hood.

My eyes are really dry and I know I should take my contacts out, but the cat is so nice and warm at my feet and she looks so very happy curled up there. So I guess I can try to keep the itchy/droopy eyes open just a little longer before seeking refuge...

LAB. I got good work done on the laser today! Things were working fabulously and I managed to get some data. Granted, it's more like a paragraph out of the book of data that I'll be needing to compile, but it's progress nonetheless. On Tuesday night, once I got tired of moving stuff to the new place, I moved stuff in my office from my old desk to a new desk by the window. < loser > Yes, I actually procrastinated moving by moving. < /loser > But everything's sunny and I like my new desk. And it gave me a chance to trash useless annoying stuff taking up space on the desk!

MOVING. It still sucks. These past three evenings, I've packed up some boxes, driven them over to the new place, unloaded them, dumped the contents out, and driven the empty boxes back to my place, where I packed them up for another cycle the next day. The good news is that the dresser is empty, all the books/DVDs/CDs are moved, and my nice hangy clothes are all hanging in the closet of my new place. The bad news is that I'm officially out of easy things to pack and must wander about my room, wondering what goes in each box. This shouldn't be hard, but it seems like brain surgery to me right now. Need rest.

Sadly enough, time spent reading or writing is time spent with a guilty conscience. However, I am pleased to report, punting arouund on line is still as guiltfree and effectively lazy as ever. :)
