They&#8217;re just going to be <em>really<\/em> busy, and probably not entirely unstressful. As such, I&#8217;m likely not going to be reachable or even online until&#8230;um&#8230;Wednesday, at the earliest. I think. No guarantees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today: After work, Prairie and I drive down to Vancouver (yes, down&#8230;the Washington Vancouver, not the Canada Vancouver) to visit her mom.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Tomorrow: Drive from Vancouver to Corvallis, OR for a family get together. My parents are flying down for their 37th anniversary weekend, and we&#8217;re all meeting up with my brother, his wife, and their kiddo (my nephew!) at their place for the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Monday-Friday: I&#8217;m on vacation for a week! No work! Yay! Not going to be resting for all of it, though&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday: Drive from Corvallis, OR back up to Seattle. Prairie&#8217;s got a class to teach that evening at one of her new jobs, then after the class, we drive out to Ellensburg to her apartment and meet up with her dad there.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Tuesday: Rent a U-Haul, and put everything Prairie owns into the U-Haul and her dad&#8217;s truck. Drive from Ellensburg to Seattle and put all of her stuff into the new apartment. Drive over to my apartment and grab the big stuff (bookcase, desk, dresser, futon, electronics, boxes) while her dad&#8217;s here to help and take all that over to the new apartment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Wednesday: SLEEP IN! Sometime that afternoon the installer from Speakeasy will be by to hook up the DSL line in the new apartment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Thursday-Sunday: Rest and relax in between trips back and forth between my old apartment and the new apartment to get all the rest of my stuff and do a cleaning sweep.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And then it&#8217;s back to the usual routine.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;really busy, lots to do, and I&#8217;ll be electronicaly nonexistant. Analog only&#8230;meatspace all the way.<\/p>\n<p>Weird.<\/p>\n<p>In honor of the weekend&#8217;s family get together, though, I took a couple minutes to scan in some of the old family photos I absconded with last time I was up in Alaska. Some of these have been posted before, some haven&#8217;t, so sorry if I&#8217;m boring anyone with repeats&#8230;but if you&#8217;ve never seen &#8217;em before, enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/35415159\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/25\/35415159_0b190ee109_m.jpg\" width=\"228\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Dad and Me, Fairbanks, AK\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dad and I playing &#8220;peekaboo&#8221; outside the back of General Sherman, our old Jeep Cherokee.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/35415207\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/26\/35415207_c1728532ce_m.jpg\" width=\"228\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Mom and Me, Fairbanks, AK\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mom taking me out for a ride.
