Busy!!

Sorry I haven't posted.  I've been busy! 
Went up to Ballard and dealt with record rainfall.  (To my friends vacationing in Germany:  Your basement isn't flood proof.  But I did manage to get the water out and it should be dry by the time you get home.) 
I managed to sell some stuff and still have more to shop around this week (more books, music and movies).  We plan to have a Craigslist ad for this coming weekend and anything that doesn't sell by Monday will go to Goodwill.   Money is coming in by bits and we are trying to piece it together to afford the escape from Olympia.
Paul will be done with his degree on December 3rd (and he has a second story being published!).  Our lease is up on December 8th.  Frank is already up at Uncle Kevin's and Oreo will join him tomorrow or Wednesday (so sad but necessary until we get settled).
We are back to the original plan of going to Southern California and hope to make it by mid-December (my birthday!).  Zero ideas what we'll do when we get there but Paul's family is there and already helping out by looking for jobs and apartments.
So, if I post infrequently over the next few weeks it isn't that I've forgotten.  I'm just really, really busy!!  It's exciting and I'll tell you all about it as my schedule allows!
