I felt that an unnecessary photo of Leela would brighten my blog.
Here are some of my thoughts right now:
The Move
Less than one week until we pick up the truck. I can't believe how fast time has gone. The majority of our stuff is packed up already and we are excited to get moving.
We bought cardboard carriers for the cats. We plan to dose them with this herbal calming remedy Brian bought at the pet store. I hope it works.
Internet
Brian was a diligent mover. About a week ago he called the power company, the gas company and our internet provider, Verizon, to let them know that we are moving. Although Brian was very clear that we we still needed internet for a couple of weeks, they cut us off when he got off the phone. Poor Brian spent hours on the phone with Verizon trying to explain what happened and to get it turned back on. It took them almost a week to fix it. It was ridiculous.
All week and no internet makes Alicia a dull girl. I almost lost it. I hadn't realized how addicted I was to the internet. I watch television online. I read the news online. I communicate online. It was not a pleasant week. Luckily, I am back online now, watching Netflix and reading my Google Reader. I can go without a lot of stuff but I do not want to live without internet.
Things to Do
Only a week left and that is not much time to fit in New York stuff. Right now the agenda includes:
- Jones Beach, Long Island for some fun in the sun
- Glaser's Bakery for some black and white cookies
- Carl Schurz's park where Brian proposed to me
- the MOMA so I can use my free admission one last time
- the White Horse Tavern which is one of my favorite New York bars
Can you think of anything else I haven't seen or done? I have visited a lot of New York sites and I just can't think of any I've missed out on. Let me know if you have any ideas.
