AAAAAAAUUUUGH I don’t like NJ. I’ve never been a fan of NJ, even when I lived there. Or maybe ESPECIALLY when I lived there. By far, the WORST things about New Jersey are all related to driving – the DMV, the interstates, the traffic, the auto insurance rates, etc. But OH MY GOD, this has [click to continue reading...]

Happily, I apparently get to keep my identity as a New Yorker, at least for now. Snickers and I were taking the garbage to the street tonight and we met some neighbors (a mother, toddler, baby and granddad) out for a stroll. As they approached, the granddad asked “Are you the one from New York?” [click to continue reading...]
Sorry guys. I’ve tried several times since I got here to write a “now I’m here” kind of post, but my heart just isn’t in it. I will post later, but for now, yes, we’re here safe and sound and trying to settle in.

7:30 AM Hour late waking up. Head is throbbing. Walking Snick. No time to enjoy it tho. Snickers FREAKED OUT when I left for u-haul… screaming and howling at the door. He knows it is Sunday. I am not supposed to leave. In the cab to u-haul and hoping that (1) the scheduling works out [click to continue reading...]
@tollers 17 boxes so far. I keep thinking I’m making progress and then turn around and realize I’ve only done 1/3 of the apartment. I seem to have hit an “I don’t know what to do now” place in my packing. Urgh. @tollers I can’t get random yet. I haven’t done my fragile stuff. overwhelmed [click to continue reading...]
Two of my very good friends took me out for farewell drinks a few nights ago. The spot we went to used to be one of our favorites. The outdoor bar on Pier 84 only opened last year and it used to be a GREAT spot to hang out, drink, and relax with the dogs [click to continue reading...]
I’m on the phone on hold listening to muzak and the much too frequent recorded interruption. It says “…all agents are currently helping other guest at this time. If you’ll hold one moment, the first available agent will assist you as soon as possible…” Ugh. I have noticed the “currently / at this time” combination [click to continue reading...]
I love NYC because there is so much to do, so many interesting people, and everything is open 24 hours. I hate NYC because the only time it isn’t too crowded to enjoy is super late at night. I skip things I would like, because of the crowds. I love the lack of scary things [click to continue reading...]
