While I was enjoying the eclipse with Lorelei last Monday, Grace was encountering problems in Oklahoma. I’d rather not go into the nature of those problems, except to say that they were human-caused, completely unnecessary and painfully expensive. I don’t mean car-repair expensive, either; I mean cost-of-a-moderate-new-car expensive, and bad enough that poor Grace (who had to deal with it firsthand) was quite depressed all week. On top of everything else, her departure was delayed from Monday until Friday, and the rest of the moving schedule is now kind of uncertain. But the return trip was relatively uneventful except for having to replace two trailer tires, so they arrived back at Sunset last night with the second load and the dogs, and we’ll figure out how quickly I can get them back on the road again. It’s a damned good thing I have no more debt, because this move was expensive even before an asshole I won’t name elected to at least triple the cost of it by being entitled, evil scum. Meanwhile, I flew into San Francisco this morning and will be here until Thursday morning; there’s a possibility I might still have room for another appointment into my schedule tomorrow, but that’s a bit iffy, so only contact me if you’re flexible. Otherwise, we’ll have to try on my next trip. And if you’ve been thinking about booking me, now would be a really good time; I might even be flexible about the length of appointment I’m willing to fly out for.
