“The Human and I are just hanging out for a while. He's feeling, well, lazy this morning, so we are all snuggled up in bed. It's nice to have a quiet morning sometimes.” - Explorer the Cat

Google Maps lied to me. There is no ATM in the student union. I had to do a total walk of 2.34 miles (3.77 km) to the nearest ATM with money in it. The good news is that I was able to pull all the $660 out in one transaction. Rent paid, so there is that.

It's the 3rd of the month, when I have money again. I need to pay my rent. They only take cash (I suspect that there may be some hinky tax things going on.) I went across the stroad to use the ATM. It's almost out of money and is giving only $20 at a time. I'm not pulling $660 out of it $20 at time. I'm going to finish my mug of tea and then walk down to the one on the university campus and hope it has money.

“I've eaten breakfast, but I think I'm gonna nap for a while. I wish that The Human would clear a little more, but until then, I'll just hang out on this upside-down chair.” - Explorer the Cat.

“I need to mark stuff. I heard the dog last night; he was upset about something. Maybe his food was late. Plus, I think I heard a cat. The people up stairs play music, but that's OK. It wasn't that loud. I still like this place; it's way cooler than the hot house.” - Explorer the Cat.

OK, I've tried all the Freddy's “steakburger” options. Favorite is the “Prime Rib Steakburger,” which is a mushroom, fried onions, and cheese thing. Also the most expensive. 2nd is classic with bacon. 3rd is just classic. The rest are meh. The least favorite is the “steakburger bowl,” which is a chopped-up burger on a bed of lettuce with a little bacon and onions. The odd man out is the “steakburger tacos,” which are white boy sort of spicy. One is enough for my pill, and it's the cheapest thing on the menu. They are “temporary” items, however.

Godzilla survived the move. Until I get the main desk cleared, which given how the boxes and the table are stacked, will be towards the end, he's on the little desk. The problem I have is that I need to find the “desk” box so I can have a mic. If I don't, the game is gonna be weird. I suspect that Discord will be in the Chromebook, and the other stuff on Godzilla. Meh, take it as it comes.

“The Human is moving real slowly today. He says once he gets going, he'll empty the boxes in the 'Kitchen' today. He did get out my magic food bowl this morning, so there is that. We will see about the boxes.” - Explorer the Cat.

“The Human says he has to go back to the hot house to finish cleaning. I'm glad I get to stay here where it's cool.” - Explorer the Cat.

She's that gray, but so far all the photos of her are from my phone, without a flash, as I haven't dug out my "real" camera yet.

“It's Math Rocks day! But The Human says he's gonna be using the little butt warmer for the numbers today because he hasn't unpacked the bag of math rocks yet. I'm marking all the boxes in case the dog we hear some times somehow gets in.” - Explorer the Cat.

“The Human twisted his back yesterday, so he's still in bed this morning. I'm hanging out with him until he starts moving. I like this place; it's cool, amost cold in the bedroom. That is so much better than the old place.” - Explore the Cat,

OK, I'm moved and have a shitton of unpacking to do and not many places to put them. I'll deal. Right now I'm using my phone's hot spot for WiFi; I should have fiber tomorrow.

I just got a notice that my lease will not be renewed, and I have until 8/31 to move.

OK, going off the net for 36 hours of so. Don't do anything rash while I'm gone.

“The Human is up extra early this morning. Of course all he has done so far is drink some boring tea, but he's set to get moving 'soon.' He's told me that I'm gonna have to spend some time in the carry box. I don't like that. Plus, strange people are gonna be in the house!” - Explorer the Cat.

Between the heat and the imitrex dizzy, I'm done packing for a while. I've got my alarm set for 03:45. That means I should be working 4:15 or so. I've got the last-minute things and maybe two more boxes of stuff in the bedroom to do. They aren't supposed to be here until “afternoon,” so I'm sure when that is exactly.

I just fell on my ass. Stopping packing for a while.

Acetaminophen is not working. Gonna give it a half hour, then I guess I pack while dizzy. FML

Dolly Parton, county music icon, dies at 80 Her death came after Parton suddenly announced in May 2026 that she was canceling a Las Vegas show and said she’d been undergoing treatment for kidney stones for several years. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dolly-parton-county-music-icon-dies-80-rcna236277

I took a walk to the post office to do that change of address thing. They are repaving, with asphalt, the road in front of it. Asphalt is a known migraine trigger for me. I'm starting to have one. I'm gonna try to just use acetaminophen because I can't lose the rest of the day to imitrex dizzy. This is less than optimal.

“If The Human isn't going to let me get in the boxes as he packs them, I better mark them as mine. Never know if some strange cat, or worse yet, a dog, might try to take them!” - Explorer the Cat.

“The Human's knees hurt because of the rain. On the other hand, that means it's not gonna be so hot today. Take the good with the bad. Anyway, I'm giving some purr therapy.” - Explorer the Cat.

Good luck!
