Moving. An experiment that largely confirms Murphy's Law.
The hooptie has developed a short or blown fuse or something that causes the brake lights to be on all the time. This in turn is affecting the battery, which I suspect isn't charging properly. The car cut out on me on I-10 on the way to work this morning, but all I had to do was tweek the battery cable a little and I was able to start the car up. Even got to work on time.
Note to self: pick up a battery terminal cleaner and clean corrosion off of terminal and cable. Note to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akaiyume: This car talk had better earn me lots of butch points. ;->
For those of you who don't know yet, Dee and I are moving in with Dee's boyfriend James. As I was carrying things into the house, I saw a swarm of buggies I prayed weren't mosquitos. They were not -- if anything what they turned out to be was actually worse -- termites. Termites are creatures out of the worst nightmares of the producers of "Fear Factor." I had to run into the house at one point to have them swatted off of me.
The downshot of this is that chances are the house will have to be tented off for a week, and we will have to find other places to go.
Dee and James are taking Tim back to North Carolina on Friday (and attending a niece's wedding) and will be gone about a week -- and so it is only myself and the kitties that have to fend for ourselves. Chances are I will get a hotel close to where I work, although there are other ideas that are *very* tempting. (Some of those ideas you don't get to hear about yet.) For example, I've never had a room in or near the Quarter.
Now to make cat arrangements... I hate kennels.
Edit: Dee just called to say that the house WILL have to be fumigated but that it will not happen for a couple of weeks.
