The traveling kit, version one, is about as packed as it’s going to get. I suspect I’ve got too much electronic stuff, or packed it badly, but we’ll see how it goes. I’m still figuring out how best to distribute…

Day One – Pancakes & New Shoes
Slept ok. Better than the admittedly terrible idea of a night on the floor, but I kept waking up from dreams about cleaning, or with a panicked thought that I’d forgotten to clean something or clear out something. I figure…

Day Zero: Moving Out, Moving On, Moving Slowly & Painfully
( posting this from day one, but let’s not get too concerned about that, shall we ) The last of the furniture went away on day -1, and I’m already regretting this numbering system. I’m also somewhat regretting my decision…

5/8 – Orc Stomp, Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast, Bulldogs!, and Nowhereville
