homeless
27 October 2008
Well, after wowing everybody with internet nonsense that last few days, I'm sure it's time for an update:
Alice and I moved out of the apartment this weekend! This morning, the pod people will come and take all our stuff away until that glorious sun-filled day we can move into the house. Until then, we're staying at Alice's brother Wilson's apartment. We gotta get that house done! Last night as we were moving the last stuff out, Miles went AWOL. All the doors were open to the outside, so he could've been anywhere. After two hours of tromping through bushes and ivy, and me trying to keep Alice from completely flipping out, we gave up and went back up to the apartment. Alice was preparing to sleep in a sleeping bag with all the doors open in case he came back. I sat down, exhausted, and a little cat head came poking out of a closet. It was Miles. We had searched EVERYWHERE in that apartment, and there was no way he had been there. Either he had some super secret hiding place we didn't know about, or God miraculously teleported him back to us. Alice thinks it's the latter.

The Epic Hardwood Laying Campaign of '08 is at long last finished! Severely testing mine and Cullin's friendship, with the most hellacious splinters that bamboo could muster stabbing our hands, and sore lower backs tormenting us in our sleep, we prevailed to victory. After many late nights of blaring AC/DC and the constant fear of "fluffing" a nail and having to tear up planks, we have a killer-looking, eco-friendly hardwood floor.
