Am beyond penniless. Oh, payday where art thou?
Have learned a v. valuable lesson. Will henceforth refrain from taunting God, Mother Nature and any other Associated Forces in control of moving-day fate. Will not, in the presence of light rain, scream at sky, "Is this all you got?!" Because chances are, no, this is not all She's got. Luckily, yours truly and an armful of table legs were the only things soaked by ensuing massive shower. God, Mother Nature and Associated Forces have one hell of a sense of humor. And vengeance.
RK took relocating surprisingly well. By 4 AM of following morning, despite horrific scene just 12 hours earlier, the young one was quite ready to explore the new abode. This gal was tiniest bit annoyed at being invited to v. early morning exploration session, but am v. glad that RK isn't still under the bed sulking. Am hopeful that New Roommate and Reluctant Kitten will become fast friends. Or at least not frighten one another.
Am v. glad to be living across the street from pals, as spent last night in all out gory Monopoly battle. Am hoping for a rematch as did not do so well, even sporting lovely Boardwalk/Parkplace money trap.
Speaking of money trap, have I mentioned that am v. near to having exactly zero dollars? *sigh*

Am to be assuming that the foot held up well during Major Move?
Posted by: Frankenstein at August 4, 2003 10:42 AMAh, Monopoly. The last time I played was a similar all-out no-holds-barred Champion of the Universe Tournament. It was an epic battle. I was one of the ones to get knocked out early, but stayed behind to watch the gore.
Battle-lines were drawn, blood was spilt. Families were divided, brother-against-brother.
Ultimately, the game was decided on endurance. Who could put up with this crap for two more hours?
We haven't played since.
Posted by: Gopi at August 4, 2003 10:43 AMTrue story: In the summer of 1975, my cousin, a friend and I got written up in the Hartford Courant for trying to break the world record for playing Monopoly in a tree house.
I've done many stupid things before and since, but that was pretty much the stupidest thing I've ever done that I couldn't get arrested for.
So you don't even have a surplus of Monopoly money! That's a bummer.

No, I can't finish this comment with a straight face. Ick! I hope the money issues resolve themselves for you soon.
