The future is now

[liv]

So. I have booked a one-way flight to Sweden for 27^th April.

...

Nothing organized, but it will be. I'm playing the same trick as I did when I set myself a hard deadline to make myself finish my thesis.

You might not see me on LJ very much in the next few weeks. Please write emails, even if you'd normally just rely on my keeping up with you via LJ; emails will cheer me up a lot even if I can't check them every single day.

I wouldn't in a million years wish for Screwy to be stuck in bed for a week, but I'm still selfishly glad I got to spend some extended time with him this week. He left while I was on the phone to my future landlord finalizing things, so I didn't get to say goodbye to him. But hey, he's my brother, he'll be around.

That's eight days from now, so you should get there more or less the same time as the package I put in the post yesterday evening, I hope. Long-distance house-warming's a bit awkward.

Dearest, how like you to be more efficient than everybody else connected with this move! Not just more efficient than me, that wouldn't be hard. But the truth is that I'm not going to be able to move into that flat until 6 May at the earliest. I hadn't got round to mentioning it on LJ but I'm supposed to be staying in my landlord's basement (!) until the flat is actually ready. So I hope your package won't get lost, and I very much appreciate your sending it.

"Efficient" is one of the better ways of taming "obsessive-compulsive" and making it work for you, definitely.

Ah. Oh dear. Well, would it be worth mentioning that it's on its way next time you talk to the landlord ?

We'll be there for you, if you check in from time to time. & :-)

*hugs*

You'll do great. And Sweden, really -- just around the corner!

Fancy a phone chat sometime soon? I'm stuck at home at the moment waiting for my passport to arrive back from the US Embassy with my visa in it.

I'd like to talk to you, yes. Evenings are probably best for me as I need to spend the day working on this grant application and rushing around. Waiting for a visa is a pretty exciting sort of waiting, but it's still best to have soemthing to do.

Unrelatedly, are you in touch with Sarah A, and is she ok? She's deleted her journal, and there are like 99 perfectly sensible reasons for doing that, so I'm probably just paranoid. But, you know.
