I've moved back to Seattle. Much thanks to

apestyle and my son for helping me with the furniture.

By the numbers:
Trips across Lake Washington in a rented van on Saturday: 2.
Meals I ate at Beth's: about 0.75. They're huge.
Amount spent at IKEA yesterday: $632 and change.
Hours late to walk Bigpuppy because there is no such thing as a quick trip to IKEA: 1.5.
Value of IKEA items accidentally destroyed: about $25.
IKEA items assembled last night: 3.
IKEA and other items remaining to be assembled: 3.
Number of circuits of Green Lake walked: about 0.5, round trip, in a glorious sunset.
Bins unpacked so far: 3.
Bins left to unpack: 13.

Today was my first day at the new job. I have to say, I've gotten farther in one day here than I did in one week at PrevCo. People have been helpful. I could weep for joy.

I've discovered that I have a nasty situation, though, regarding Nibs and (What else?) health insurance. Because of the gaps in the coverage dates, I need to buy COBRA ASAP if I want to avoid sticking her with a three-month approval process for pre-existing condition. Remember, she needs those infusions every four weeks or she's an invalid. At least now I know the dates that COBRA has to cover, and I can buy it retroactively.
