Bid List Delivered...

...and now the waiting begins. It's less than three weeks until Flag Day--not the holiday, but the day we get little replicas of the flag of the country we'll be serving in! Can't wait to find out and to have an excuse for D to visit. After much research on pet regulations in various posts and soul-searching on whether embassy A is a high, medium, or low preference, it's mailed in and unchangeable. Now there's nothing left to obsess about until Flag Day. Whew!

In other news, Murphy, the temp cat, is working out nicely. He's a declawed grey tabby. Downsides: litter box and his tendency to bite without warning. Upsides: he's a cat! Plus he's a pretty ideal combination of affectionate and aloof. He's mine, all mine until November 1.

Finally, went for a slog of a run outside. It's not that hot, but it's very muggy. Still, as sweaty and disgusting as the run was, it was not as disgusting as it felt to sit around all day every day. There are scads of biking/running trails around here, so I hope to explore while the weather stays snow-free.
