So last week I got tired of hearing Hunden hack and wheeze his way through work and I realized that I could very well be in Austin, as all my junk is packed and I was kinda just sitting around taking care of my cats and waiting to move. So, with Oz being the kind soul that he is and volunteering to watch my critters for me, I booked plane tickets to Austin and flew down last Tuesday to do fun things like thump the man on the back and make yummy homemade chicken soup. And make sure he's properly drugged of course, because he has a nasty habit of not really actually taking care of himself. *spank*

Anyhow, for all those concerned, he's doing much better now and can only be heard hacking up a lung a few times a day (which is excellent as he's running out of lungs). I'll be heading back to MD tomorrow evening to do the last few chores I need to do to get everything in order, and on the 14th, Hunden will be flying in to Baltimore himself. From there we'll be packing my junk onto a shipping truck, crating my cats up, and making the 22 hour drive from MD to Austin in one straight shot where we'll be living in a neat little (well, big) house with (*shudder*) Tatamae until such time as we see fit to buy our own.

I thought I'd share this with you all however, since it is kinda cute and you can sorta see the pretty sparkly he found in a Cracker Jack box and so thoughtfully gave to me:

Things are going to be VERY hectic for us both for the next few weeks. We'll do our best to keep everyone updated, but if we become scarce you all know where to find us, and you're welcome to call us up anytime!
