Phase two of G's dental implant was today, so I'm working from home. He's
snoozing away on the couch, and I'm taking a break in bed from my exercise
ball chair. It can be pretty brutal after a while. Being able to work from
bed with Buffy on is pretty great.

Article 1
Tinny music from a laptop's speakers. Not terribly loud, but loud enough that it's a surprise to hear a cat snoring from across the room. Are his dreams as mundane as mine? Does he lunge for a string and find he can't make it off the ground? Or is the window that keeps him from the birds outside finally gone?
When he can fly like the birds, will he choose to join them, or try to catch one? If his dreams are as mundane as mine, he'll fall as soon as he decides to lunge.

Life update
I've mentioned this in various people's blog comments, but it's time to finally announce for real that Garrett and I are moving. We're getting the keys to our new apartment in Everett on March 7th, with a tentative move-out date from the condo on March 14th. We're using this place as a foothold and are planning to eventually get a house up there.
You may wonder why we'd do that instead of just wait and sell when we are ready to get a house, and the answer's quite simple. Living here's extremely expensive. Our new apartment is slightly bigger than the condo and we'll be paying roughly 39% as much to live there. The money we'll save will add up much faster than the value of the condo ever could, and we were planning to move up there within a couple of years anyway, so it made more sense to just go ahead and go for it.
Garrett was super smart and found us an apartment complex right by the South Everett freeway station, so it'll at least be easy for us to come down or for people to visit us. And it'll be one stop to downtown Everett, which has better options for an evening out than our cute little Silver Lake neighborhood. I'll also be working from home all the time now, instead of just Fridays.
This is a very big change, but also a huge relief. I'll miss Seattle very much, but I've had nearly 15 years here to enjoy it. Most importantly, I found Garrett, a great job, and wonderful friends here, so I'm definitely not leaving empty-handed.

Routines are easily disrupted
I decided yesterday that my hat and glove season is over because I've been taking the gloves off halfway through my morning walk, and the hat makes my head itch and also makes it completely impossible to look presentable once it's off.
Not that I wake up looking presentable. In fact, it was quite tricky to get my hair and eyebrows to behave this morning. Of course I could wet my head and gain a lot of control, but any more than just a little bit of water and I would risk being too cold. I got it looking somewhat decent, did my stretches, and left.
I noticed that it was 4:20 when I started my walk tracker, which was weird to me because it's almost always 4:25 when that happens. I couldn't figure out how I could be so much faster, and forgot about it, until about a mile into my walk, when I noticed I hadn't brushed my teeth. I can't remember a time in the last 15 years when I forgot to brush my teeth, but stopping to fix my hair this morning when I hadn't in so long made me completely forget to.
Luckily, after having been to the dentist just a few days ago, my breath is pretty decent after some gum and an apple. I hope.

Look at this cute side of fruit with my breakfast burrito.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention, I won this! There's been an Olympics-themed game with scratch-off cards and I got this. Normally lately I just have yogurt and fruit because I wanted to change it up after four years of granola.
