Move #2

We made it!
We arrived in Albuquerque very early Sunday morning after a trip that, while it didn't go all that smoothly, worked out in the end. I'll tell you all about that later. The kitties were not especially enamored of their two-day adventure, but all things considered, did very well with it, pretty much sleeping the whole time with one notable exception. That means you, Minx. The same goes for their introduction to their new brothers, Slinky and Ed. While there was the usual hissing and yowling at first, things have settled down a lot. Thank God for Thundercat. I knew he'd be the Ambassador and smooth everything out with his own brand of feline diplomacy.
We spent Sunday and Monday putzing around, picking up some stuff for the new place which we move into today. Dancing in Socks Guy has a smallish one-bedroom and with the clowder of cats we now have, plus all our stuff, we needed something a mite bigger. Okay, I wanted something a mite bigger. So, we're moving into a two-bedroom in the same complex, which happens today. This was, Dancing in Socks Guy gets his own study where he can keep his collection of cardboard boxes.
Today is also my first day at work. It's basically paperwork etc. but I am so nervous. Whenever I start a new job I always have the feeling that I will soon be revealed for a fraud who knows nothing. Which is silly, because, well, I'm not a fraud and I do know a lot. Ah well.
More later, kids. Hope all is going well with you!

A universal fear! Everyone that I have talked to regarding starting a new job has the same feelings. Good luck with the new job and new location. Make sure your cable system gets NESN so you don't miss any of the Boston sports scene.
