So many little things to do.

Yeah, it's... pretty much all ready to go.  But ice in the coolers, stuff arranged, double bagged, and such.  This and that.  Oh, a set of clothes for the trip home, bagged just in case.  Not bagging all of my clothes this time.  Never did get a tarp, perhaps on the way out of town.  I need more charcoal, the real stuff, anyway.  I'm messing with the printer now, trying to get the instructions.  The instructions lead to a googlemap link, but you can't input your location to get complete instructions.  Poor coordination, as I see things.  Us a map that works!  Then again, not sure my printer will work, the ink might be dried out.  Still...

Of course, some last minute arrangements are always part of it.  Water bottles to be filled.  Everything loaded.  Always... something.  Ah... medicine.  I'll have to load up both medsets, and figure out the insulin.  It really is all ready to go, it just has to be... well... put together then loaded.  Or... something.  This is usually a job for the mrs. or misses.  It just is.  Oh, men can do it, but... not well.  They do the packing, we do the navigating, that's usually how it works.  My last wanted to change things up.  Every time we tried it, we ended up lost for great periods of time and showing up very late, and... missing stuff.  Still, I don't care.  She did, not me.  I just laughed.  That's... also part of our job.  Bah, I'll get there.  Sometime, with some stuff.

I did get someone to feed the girls, set the food out, wet food, on the counter.  Just use one stack, then the next.  I have sorted them for variety already.  I hope they remember where the dry food is.  I don't dare set that out.  It's in the cupboard outside of the bathroom.  In case you forgot.  It's the one that is open.  Says cat food on it.  :p  Oh, check the water and clean their litter box at least every other day, and stir it up so the pee doesn't soak in.  Just... trying to be helpful.

So many nitpicking little details.  I did what I could with the time I had, and then some, I should like to think.  Should have been more on top of it, but health doesn't always permit.  I get windows, I use windows.  If I don't have windows, I obviously can't use them.  And I have been out of sorts, no doubts there.  I'm actually surprised I got this window and did what I did, without having to simply stack everything I hoped I would need, as I could, and go.  That has, and can, happen.  And, actually, I am, so far, rather well on top of things.  Even to cleaning my house, a bit, before I go.  All laundry is done, and dishes will be too.  Trash is out, if there remain many boxes to eventually be dealt with, that is livable.

I figure I will need a nap, after loading, then will head out pretty late tonight.  Thankfully, the first part of the drive is well known.  And most of it will have some familiarity to it.  The last part, however, is a really doozy of paying attention, watching for tiny signs or maybe even watching the odometer?  It looks like a claustrophobic run if I have ever seen one.  Then again, I did find Desert Cat's secret hideaway without too much fuss.  I was rested though, but that doesn't always make too much difference for me.  Not when I'm on duty.  And... while driving to a strange place in a strange world, I'm on duty.

I love being back on active duty.  :)  Now... to see if the printer is running.  I just wish it didn't take so long to put the drivers and software on, just to even find out if the printer will even work!  Bleh.  Later.

Crap, looks like the ink is dead.  I'll... tinker with it just a bit more, do some machine and hand stuff, to see if I can get the ink to flow, but...

That was weird...  My monitor just moved.  Cats aren't near it.  Like something ran into my home?  One sec. - Nope, just a ghost.  Weird.

It's not the ink flow.  Lousy printer.  Now it's suggestion some kind of error, no matter what I do.  Found a fix for the error!  And it still, of course, doesn't work.  Well, hand notes, again.
