I wrote what’s below while we were still in California and never published it. I do that a lot.

Ten days out of the apartment and I am so excited to be moving along. Something about that place was sucking the life out of me.
Lee has a few more weeks of work before we can leave for New Mexico so we’re stuffed into a motel that takes cats until then. It’s pretty much alright in a at least it’s better than the apartment kind of way. They have some odd policy where they can’t hand me the sheets so I can make the beds myself. They have to do it for me while I stand outside the room for 20 minutes and I am finding that delirioulsy annoying. I mean REALLY.
In other, less annoying news .. Jack and Olivia have been having a lot of outside play time. The old apartment didn’t have a good outside play space. It wasn’t kid friendly at all. But here they’ve gone swimming and had treasure hunts with plastic gold coins and hand drawn maps. Jack loops the sidewalk on his scooter about 200 times a day and is mastering the hula hoop.
Next stop: Albuquerque, baby!
