Well, I now live in Seattle. Woohoo :)

The drive was so very long and tiring. First, on the 20th, I drove from NYC to Philly, to meet up with Ed. I ended up not getting Alice (my old car) fixed, but instead buying a minivan that a friend of his was selling. It's in great shape, and all tuned up and all that, and much roomier for all of my things and much more comfy for me and my two kitties. So I drive down there the 20th, ran around all day getting things sorted out, then drove back that night, and got up early on the 21st to start my trek out to Seattle. I drove through NJ, PA, and into OH and stayed with my family for two nights, then across OH, IN, and IL to stay with a friend near Chicago. Day three was into WI, through MN and into SD. And my lovely boy Tony decided to meet me in Sioux Falls, SD (where I already had hotel reservations), and ride the rest of the way with me. That was wonderful :-D Day four was across SD, into WY, to stay at a motel in Buffalo, WY. Then into MT, staying in Missoula, and finally day six took us across ID, and into WA, right on over to Seattle. Man, I was so happy to finally be here :):):)

I got sick along the way, a nasty case of tonsilitis. So my first day here in the city, Tony and I went out on a chase to find me a doctor, ugh. But I got some drugs and I'm doing better -- yay!! For the weekend Tony and I just stayed stuck to each others sides, and now it's Monday and back to work for him. There really isn't much news, since I was just driving (and driving, and driving) for the last week. But I miss some people so much right now -- Wes, Liz, Dan, Sarika, Aparna, Adam... Everyone stay in touch, OK?

Time for lunch and cigarettes and books...
