crazy days

My folks left for the States today
We are in the process of closing on a house in Ohio
I am submitting job applications
Tovina is lamenting the fact that her parents won't hold her as constantly as her grandparents are willing to hold her
The movers are taking everything we own away next week
Uncle Sam doesn't care how hard he is making it to get our cats home with us
And Beijing is a quiet and calm place right now because the Olympics are about to start. Errr... actually, I meant the exact opposite of that.

And we are only freaking out a little.*

Not bad for a day's work

*This does not count the kitties who are becoming progressively more alarmed by Tovina's daily mobility improvements.
