In Transition
Thanks for continuing to visit KC Writer Blog. Things have been pretty busy with this move and I just can't seem to get my head around anything but unpacking boxes. So far, the only casualty seems to have been my printer. I made the mistake of letting my husband take charge of packing my office equipment. Although I had some nice, sturdy electronics boxes, he assured me this huge Rubbermaid type box would be a good one - everything would fit and he would pack plenty of packing blankets around it. Well, everything didn't fit and my poor printer ended up in a box marked "dirty clothes." When it was handed to me from the moving truck, I didn't grab it by the bottom. What's the harm if the bottom drops out and a bunch of dirty clothes fall on the concrete floor of the garage, right? Just as I put my arms around it, my husband's friend said, "I know that says dirty clothes, but I think something else is in there. I just can't remember...." Crash!
"Oh, yeah, that was that gray and black thing, your printer, right?"
I just shut my eyes and came into the house. I had enough of the heat and of moving that day.
No one has yet to answer why my printer was placed in a flimsy box marked, "dirty clothes," but my husband has already accepted he will be buying me a new one!
One broken printer and one new family member - we picked up a dog we witnessed being dumped in KC the night before we moved. Although I found a rescue in Arkansas to take her, I grew attached to her and now Sadie calls the Ozark Mountains home too. She follows me everywhere.

That dog will become your best companion. :)) Have a great time in Germany!
Oh, Kerri, you have my sympathy. I'm a freelancer and I've had to move all my equipment a couple of times, too. It was a nightmare.
When you have a moment to breathe again, I'd love to have you visit my blog, http://www.debrastang.net/wp/.
It tells about my ups and downs as a freelancer and offers reading recommendations for writers and for people just looking for a fun read.
