1.  Dinner with Mo last night was wonderful.  And losing easy access to her wonderfulness is one of the few things I’ll regret about leaving this city.  Fortunately, we’re planning on being down here all the time so the Boy can stay connected with his kids, so while he’s hanging out with them, I’ll go bother her.  Lucky Mo.

2.  Rain.  Rain that’s upped the humidity, but dropped the temperature significantly.  I’ll take it.

3.  Today is the day for packing errands that did not get run yesterday.  Feeling better for a lot of sleep, though feeling sadder since today is the “drop Nellie off in Manhattan, after which she’ll be carted off to the place of theoretical doggie joy upstate.”  I hate thinking that she’s going to think that we’re abandoning her to the care of these new people, but I’m really glad we decided to splurge on the nice doggie spa.  Alleviates my guilt a little bit, knowing she’ll have grass & trees to play amidst.

4.  We signed the contract & put down a deposit on the house yesterday.  Dang, this is moving fast!

5.  Made a big batch of “nature candy” (1 part peanut butter, 1 part honey, 2 parts dry milk, all mixed together, rolled up in tubes of waxed paper, and meant to be sliced & eaten cold.  Deliciousness from my childhood, and despite the heartburn that I think the peanut buttery goodness provoked, totally wonderful and I’m having more today.
