I sold the electric stove yesterday! The cash is buying the Toyota repairs
and some Feliway and there's even enough left to fill the van's gas tank!!!
Billy and Lily seem very happy to have meowmie all to themselves and are
liking the house with all this extra space, too.
If you can spare a few purrs today please send them for Abelard to be home
when I get there so I can get him moved today.

Purrs for Abelard to catch the bus, and for everybody to settle
into their new home quickly.
I'm glad it's finally happening for you, Pat. I know it feels
crazy right now, but where you've been living was even crazier.

ABELARD! GET YOUR BUTT HOME!!!
I'm so glad he will be unable to wander around when you move to your new
place, but still be able to be outside. Good luck on the move, I hope
everything goes well.

Late purrs on the way, Pat. Hope you found Abelard easily.

It sounds scary having to plan expenditures down to the last dollar
like that, and it's an impressive feat of planning to buy a house like
that. Plus, if you can fill up a van with today's gas prices, you're
probably ahead of most people. :)
Purrs for Abelard to come home too!

It's only scarey until you get used to doing it.
The van is a mini- with a 12-gallon tank. Gets 25-30 mpg so a tank lasts
quite a while, thank god.

Maybe, but it still takes a lot of discipline and an iron will. I've
never had to do it, and I'm sure I'd find myself up sh** creek if I
had to. Tak is right; it's pretty amazing.

Nah... it just takes practice. I got lots of it in Arizona, in a 300' sq.
house with my ex, four cats and three dogs, no electricity, no phone, 35
miles from town, no running water, 7 miles one way to the community well on
unmaintained dirt roads. Compared with that experience, Gloria's farm was a
snap, and now, with 1200' sq all to myself (and the cats) and right in town,
it feels a lot more like luxury than deprivation.

Pat, I'm trying to give you a compliment. You should take it! Every
time someone tells you that what you're doing is really amazing, that
you have abilities that others don't have, etc, you wave it off as
nothing. It's not nothing; it's a big thing!
Sure, it just takes practice. All the people in the Olympics did was
practice. All the best artists ever did was practice ... do you see
where I'm going with this?
You are a very capable woman, and it's really annoying when someone
acknowledges that and you just shrug it off.

I do appreciate the effort. It's just that I consider what I'm doing as
ordinary rather than amazing. Certainly not a feat like winning an olympic
medal or something. In fact I feel mostly INcapable, in that I couldn't find
a way to avoid all that hardship.
