Rufus is on the Pug-A-Day widget on my blog, to your right! Mommy's fatty fat bastard! Snugly snarfiness!
We have moved. Our new address is:
Dirtiest 5 bedroom/3 bath house EVER
Huntington, NY
Evil Island
It's done. And it's dirty. I don't think the people who lived here before us cleaned. EVER.
Random sampling of emotions over the last 48 hours:
Elation
Impatience
Hostility
Relief
Joy
Disgust
Anger
Love
Amusement
I have settled nicely into sheer exhaustion. And BF and I managed to not kill each other.

Mysore style....sort of
I went to the Mysore class in Huntington last night. It was kind of odd, not exactly what I'm used to. However, it was a thousand times better than trying to practice alone in my cramped living room so I'll take it!
Basically, instead of people just wandering in shortly before the class starts and starting up their practice, everyone waited to start until 7:15pm (class start time), did the chant together then started their practice. Also, everyone only did half-primary. There were six people in the room, including me, plus the teacher. To be quite honest, it was nice that there were no 'superstars' in the room, no one doing crazy third or fourth series. No one there could even stand up from UD. So it was much easier for me to have my normal 'challenged' practice. I am well aware that we're not supposed to compare ourselves in the Mysore room but I have a hard time believing that I'm the only one who does that. Usually I am successful at brushing it off and not worrying about it. The teacher was a sub and I thought he was really cool. There were no heavy-handed adjustments, he seemed to work more with energy than brute strength. Sometimes I do need the brute strength, but not always. All in all, it was a good experience and it will be a good option for me, especially when we move to that area next month.
On the house-hunting front, I'm dreadfully tired of staring at Craigslist, tired of brokers, tired of the whole thing. I'm going to look at two houses tonight, one in Huntington and one in Kings Park. I would love for one of them to work out so I can stop looking. The other option I have discovered is a house in St. James that is WAAAAAAAY too close to the ex-wife (like, three blocks). I'm going to look at it but it's probably not going to be a good option for us.
