The trip to DM wasn’t nearly as noisy as we thought it would be, Mercy actually settled down on "her dads" lap after about 20 miles and then only let out a yelp once in a great while.  She is now (and has been for quite some time) under GW’s desk, under a blanket with just her nose sticking out.  She doesn’t want to come out.  I picked her up a little while ago and showed her where her food and litter box are here and although, when I put her down she smelled them, she went right back to the blanket and has stayed there since.  GW picked her up and carried her around for a little bit, put her on his lap and she jumped down, walked under his desk and went right to the blanket.  It may take a couple of days.  Not only does she have to get used to here but later we are taking her to the apartment which will cause her even more stress, poor baby.

I went over, put the dishes away and set the groceries on the counter (after picking them up when the bag ripped – - three times!!  (different bags!)  The guys at the hotel helped me pick them up and then Lee, one of the maintence men, helped me get that load to the apartment where one of the bags tipped off the cart for him too…what a drama!  Anyway, they are on the counter now, dishes are put away, boxes are stacked on the table to be taken apart and kept for later, either eBay or packing and Mercy’s litter box and food are set up in the apartment. 

Mike, the manager, told me he doesn’t care if we bring in our own furniture.  We’ll give that some thought.  We will be bringing our chairs for both us and Mercy.  We’ll see what else we put in.

Going to keep searching for postings for GW, when I have time, and see what we come up with for the fall semester, hopefully something will open up in AZ.  We’ll see.

The guy that is going to buy the car is supposed to be here in about an hour and a half.  Sure hope that he comes, that would be awesome.

Now, back to work!
