What a Week...

So, back in the full swing of things here after a short week last week. It's been a busy five days and I'm very glad that it's Thursday! I got a cold, got a bad case of insomnia, had what seemed like a million early morning work meetings, and was happy to have my cats arrive safely. Tonight we get a bit of a reward and are headed out to celebrate Oktoberfest with the senior Cobbs.

Like everything else, getting the cats was an interesting endeavor. They arrived late from Amsterdam (past 11PM), so Eric and I were waiting around in Cargo Village at the import customs office for about 30 minutes or so. We finally made contact with the "agent" who was going to be actually picking up Brendan and Nubbins - he was vaguely eastern European and not necessarily the person I wanted to trust with my cats. He basically walked around the customs office, getting seemingly random stamps and paying cash to at least four different desks before he went out to the giant loading area and came back with the cats on the back of a little golf cart. I have no idea what would've happened if we had tried to get them on our own. We were so excited to see them.

I was worried, but it turned out they were the same as ever. They both had a sniff about the apartment, before using their new crap shack, eating some wet food, then some dry food, and then it was time for bed. Brendan spent most of the night walking around the room and telling me all about his exciting adventure.

Last night they were completely back to normal, and it seems as though they were always here with us. I'm sorry to have put them through such an ordeal, but I'm very glad to have them with me!

Just got word from Eric, apparently, we'll be able to start the move in process a few days early - like, this weekend!!! Pictures to follow soon.

I hope everyone in SoCal is okay - I guess Eric and I got out at the right time.
