The Eagle Has Flown the Coop
As I was making the 7.5 hour drive up (made crazy time, as we took two 30-minute breaks), I had a moment with Bunky. I mentioned something about how we should make sure to get gas before we went back and she turned and said “We’re not going back…”
Wow, that could have been from a movie or something.
Aside from my confusion, it’s been a pretty good trip so far. The movers took their sweet time, as they told us they had nothing better to do that day. However, once we pumped their systems full of Mountain Dew, they started kicking it into high gear, and the stuff started flying down the 3 flights of stairs and into the moving truck. I guess those commercials were real… The stuff should come on Tuesday, and the closing is this afternoon.
Sydney was so nervous while the movers were over that he crapped himself, and then Bunky (in a mental relapse) tried to vacuum up the poop. Yeah, it didn’t work. Fortunately it was a really bad vacuum that we were planning on throwing away, only now we were really planning on throwing it away. I was glad that Sydney had taken the opportunity to empty himself before the trip, however, and then I forced him to chug some Calm Down liquid, and it really worked like a charm. The little guy was quiet and tipsy the whole trip (although he did this weird panting thing when he was nervous).
Of course, the moment I get a minute to log on this blog, I find that I’ve gotten over 100 spam comments that made it through both my spam filters. Fortunately, I have a mass-edit plugin for comments, so it wasn’t too hard to bring down the hammer.

Congrads on a “relatively” smooth move. Now let’s hope the move-in is just as painless. Just exactly what kind of “Calm Down” liquid was this? I am thinking Elephant tranquilizer or something of that sort.

I ended up giving all my fish to my coworker. She recently set up a 30 gallon tank, and so the fish really upgraded their living space. The only bad thing is that Bonnie and Clyde (the angelfish) used to fight when they were in the same tank, and sure enough the minute they found each other again, they locked lips to establish dominance. However, once Clyde gives Bonnie the smackdown again, I’m sure that things will be peaceful and Bonnie will retreat to a far section of the tank.
