From Rotterdam, With Love...
Hello to you all from an Internet cafe Somewhere in Rotterdam :-)
I'm still zonked from the frantic business of the last few weeks planning and then doing the move, so have just dropped by for a quick chat before my brain explodes from either (a) generally being zonked, or (b) hot heat of the day and NO air conditioning.
As I've been doing all this planning and moving, I've kept a little diary of all the ups and downs, but before I start filling you in I just have to add...when Lani and Alesia say that this gal
<--
is really them, well, they're wrong because it's secretly me :-) (in my dreams, anyway!)
Anyhoo, here we go...

Diary of a Wacky Writer on the Move
Memorial Day, 2004
Oh Patient One has callously swanned off to Rotterdam and has abandoned me to cope with daunting transatlantic move on my own...
Actually, that's not true at all :-) Oh Patient One is lovely and would never do anything so heartless. Truth is he had to leave to take up his new post, but I am following with The Teenagers after the school year has ended.
As for managing transatlantic move by self, have arranged move on own a few times now so am experienced mover! No problemo. Piece of cake!! But before I plan anything, must finish current book...
Must also clean, clear out house, and catch up on e-mail.
Oh, is back-to-back episodes of Law and Order on TV tonight! Will treat self to little break, ensconce self in front of TV and dial in Chinese food...
Mid June 2004
Michelle's "To Do" list
1. Finish book.
2. Get hidden leak in 2nd floor bathroom fixed.
3. Get collapsed kitchen ceiling (caused by leak) fixed.
4. Clean and clear out house ready for sale.
5. Plan graduation celebration for Teenager #1.
6. Plan move to Europe.
7. Catch up on e-mail.
Yes, you read that right! The kitchen ceiling really did collapse (but only a small area of it) due to a hidden leak in the 10-month-old NEW bathroom we had installed.
Called emergency plumber. No more leaks! Called emergency odd-job man. Ceiling is now (a) fixed and (b) painted. Many dollars and a zinging credit card later...
Graduation celebration for Teenager #1 a complete success!
Book going well and is nearly done!
Hurrah!
Somehow feel that have had fair share of disasters, and that nothing else can possibly go wrong...

That's all for now, but I'll be back shortly with more!
Hugs to you all,
Michelle :-)
