We're signing a lease tomorrow to rent the house, which complicates life. It means Galina will be heading toward Colorado by herself, while I pull on my seven-league boots and head off to Kazakhstan again (assuming the Astra 1M spacecraft launches as scheduled). Upon my return, the current plan is for me to rent a U-Haul and a car trailer, drop by the house, load said rented items, and take off for Colorado myself.

Since every campaign is subject to the whims of weather and happenstance (a guidance computer, for example, can fail a routine electrical test and thus delay a launch for a week), it'll be difficult to buy a reasonably priced airline ticket for Galina to arrive in New York on a particular date, unless we're feeling lucky.

I was not able to write invoices today, since every time I sat down to do so, it seemed that something would interrupt three minutes later: a phone call, Shiloh, a trip related to estate matters, tracking down bank information, you name it. If I want to have any billings at all this month, I must get the invoices - and expense reports - out tomorrow! (On the other hand, I did get a load of stuff done outside the house, too, including refilling my BP meds for the upcoming trip, so it's not as if the day was a complete loss. :^)

Costco had a pretty good deal on letter/legal storage boxes when we stopped to do some shopping yesterday, but we bought only two packages of 10 boxes (for about $1.50 a box), and based on having filled 10 boxes with books from the bookcase in the den, the second package is not going to be enough to finish the job. I figure we need at least one more, and maybe even a second additional package, for good measure. I've been making a photo record of what books go in what box, as I am good and tired of having to go through a bunch of sealed boxes to find a particular book. Bits are cheap; making life easier is, to borrow a tag line, priceless.

It's not even 9 pm, but I'm pretty tired. Time for some green tea and then to bed!

Cheers...
