I've decided to set this blog in motion now rather than later. I'm starting to get really excited about my move. But I'm also starting to get sad. I'll miss people, of course, but I can talk to people on the phone and msn, and I'll be able to come home in three months for christmas (and everyone else has to as well). What I'm going to miss the most day to day are the animals. I knew that that was going to be the hardest part, but making breakfast this morning with the two cats sitting on the chair together watching me while occasionally swiping at one another, and the dog waking me up at 6 this morning just to lick my face and make sure I was paying attention to her so that she could go back to sleep really made me realize that I wasn't going to see them for a long time. I know that they'll be looked after when I'm at school, thanks to my wonderful parents, roommate, and coworker, I just don't know if they'll catch Binx's subtle: "I'm looking at you out of the corner of my eye in my sly way that means you've got 19.6 seconds to get me outside or I'll poo on your floor" or give my antisocial kitty just the slight amount of affection she needs so she doesn't turn to a pile of mush. The bunny's cool, she just doesn't want to be bothered, and wants good music she can groove her little bunny ears to.

I know I've got to go away so I can get out of the underemployment slump I've been in since I graduated. *Sigh* Otherwise, there's no way for me to afford the food and litter it's going to take to keep them all going.

Last sobby post about animals for a while, I swear. Mre to come on NFL shortly, I promise.
