waiting for an opportune moment to dance in the kitchen -- for the last time at Barat Court

The university’s closed, so I took a day off to do moving-related stuff (sorting trash from movables, updating people on my coordinates, taking a load or two of books over, waiting for the next roomie to come in and pick up some keys).

[...]

The first part of the day just flew by, looks like it’ll have been all administrative stuff (keys and addresses) but I think I nailed it all. Next up: a weekend in the country for a wedding, family time and some fresh air with funny_socks. (That sounded more momentous than it is -- Jordan and Caleb’s wedding, my family [although they seem about ready to adopt funny_socks too] and all our fresh air!)

I’ve decided all my stamps go out of fashion before I can use up a sheet, while I don’t want to have to buy them one letter at a time. So I went and got a pile of small-denomination stamps: ones, threes, tens and quarters to bump my existing stash into this year. I imagine I’ll be able to bump them into the next rate hike too -- and pretty soon my 52¢ stamps, once good for the US, will be bang on for Canadian addresses.
