Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Send Me Text Messages While I Drive

By Abby at 4:18 pm on Tuesday, November 21, 2006

I’m leaving town in a few hours. I’m taking a nap first. Yes, a nap. I’m REALLY tired. But here’s a fun thing… If you have any good driving tips, esp from post-George Washington Bridge (Fort Lee) all the way down to Raleigh, send a text message to drivingtips at proactivebusybody dot com. Taking 95S the whole way seems like a monumentally bad idea. This will be a text message, so keep it really short, use abbreviations, etc. You can also just say hello. I promise I’ll drive safely Cheers!

Enjoy My OCD Daylight Graphs

By Abby at 4:43 pm on Tuesday, November 7, 2006
Yesterday, I was freaking out about my move, so I did what I often do when I’m nervous about something: I found a repetitive, menial research task which took up about half of my cognitive resources. Basically, I busied myself. So I ended up looking up the sunrise and sunset times of Boston and Raleigh. Here’s what I learned: Boston doesn’t really have less daylight than Raleigh. It’s just on the wrong side of the time zone. Boston has good daylight, but in the early morning hours when I couldn’t care less. Raleigh has that all-important post-work daylight, which I really need to remain a happy Abby. Enjoy my OCD graphs.

Such a Long Way

By Abby at 1:40 pm on Monday, November 6, 2006
From where I live to my parents’ house is “1,112 mi (about 22 hours 46 mins)” according to Google. DAMN, that’s far, especially with cats. This is going to be such a long way traveling alone. Gotta make a plan. I was going to try to do it in two days, but I’m not sure I (not to mention Jeep and Maggie) can take it.

A-Ha! Moving for Dummies.

By Abby at 11:21 pm on Thursday, September 14, 2006
Why didn’t I think of checking this site before now?! Sometimes it’s best to start with the simplest instructions. Like you’re learning about a complex topic, and to get started, you check the 3rd grade textbook for the most basic overview. You get the more detailed stuff later on. Tonight I made a tiny bit of headway. I called my friend in Raleigh and asked if he’d be interested in renting out his extra bedroom for my first month there while I’m getting started. It will save me a bundle, and it will just simplify the whole situation. I can search for a place to live from there instead of long-distance. Seems a better way to go… with a tiny bit of familiar. AND he’s not allergic to cats AND he recently quit smoking AND he’d off visiting his girlfriend in another town fairly often. Plus, he knows cool people, and he IS cool people. Ideal. Only problem is that I don’t think he has internet. Eek!

They came, they packed, they left. All gone.
