Here’s the latest update from the Sunshine State:
The “sunshine” has been… not so much. We’ve been getting more than just the typical Florida afternoon shower on a pretty regular basis since Merrin got here. (I think she’s becoming skeptical of all the Florida marketing, at this point.)
We’re beginning to settle in to a routine in the new house. We’ve had our “stuff” here for three days and Merrin’s been making *amazing* progress. She’s even letting me help some. (But not much, because she has her system and damn if it isn’t working!)
I got a Florida drivers license this weekend. They assigned me my old license number from 13 years ago. The weird part is… I can remember my drivers license number. I say “weird” because… I can’t remember anything on a day-to-day basis. Seriously, I’m like a escapee from the senior center. I’m tempted to say that it’s stress related. I would worry that I have early onset Alzheimer’s, but… wait, what was I talking about?
The dogs are adjusting to the new house. Rigley took the pool screen pretty hard on day one. If you need a visual, picture a bird flying into a window… repeatedly. She’s finally got it figured out… almost.
The old house is still showing pretty well, but we still haven’t been able to nail down a contract with anyone just yet. So… keep sending good thoughts our way. I’ll rest easier when that is behind us.
Work is going really well. I think I’m going to have my plate full for a quite a while, but we’re off to a good start.
That’s about it for now – pretty boring, really. I’m about 26 days behind in my newsreader, so I apologize if I seem a little out of touch as of late. I’ll try to get caught up, but if there’s anything I’ve missed – y’all shoot me an email or chat me. 🙂

There is NOTHING funnier than a dog running full steam ahead into a screen. Seriously. Our Chih does it from time to time (generally I’ll just leave the door open because she gathers up momentum and then charges the door like a maniac, but every now and then, I’ll see some sort of insect that I don’t want in my house and I’ll keep the screen closed). I will literally laugh for hours just thinking about it. Hell, I’m laughing now at the montage of mental videos I have in my head of her doing it.
Yeah… and this is our “smart” dog. 🙂
Looks like the screen is doing its job!! 🙂
Do not mock the system. The system *totally* works.
Nice to hear, I’m glad you guys are settling in. My county is on fire and we’re being evacuated. Hooray for renter’s insurance. =)
