Y7 D75

I have a bit of a hangover going on this morning. It could be much much worse but it's not horrible. I also went to bed at 2 and was up at 7 so if I gave it a little more sleep, I would probably be feeling okay. And while I feel a little bloated this morning and have some nasty gas, I made the smart decision to stick with beer and only one type of beer last night. No shots, no hard liquor. I am grateful this morning for that choice. B on the other hand decided she for once WOULD drink and while I tried to keep her to one thing, she decided she would be doing shots all night. I managed to keep her to blueberry flavored vodka, but I am sure her head is going to be doing the Watusi when she gets up. The party was a ROARING success in my mind. We had 39 people come out to wish us well. There was one particular moment that stands out for me - remember 5.5 years ago when I wrote that if just one person asks me to stay I wouldn't move? Yeah, no one did back then. But last night? At least three people flat out said to me "don't go". I can't convey how much that means to me. Not only were there almost 40 people who came out for us, but they truly will miss us and don't want us to go. The only way I managed not to lose it and break down last night was by pretending the party wasn't what it was. I had to just focus on seeing everyone and not thinking how it was possibly the last time I would see some of them.

I also managed to get quite a bit accomplished during the day. I got everything on the desk done that I wanted, the bathroom as planned, and some kitchen stuff. I feel okay leaving next week with the place the way it is right now. I can't do much more until we get closer to the day.

Other than the party and packing, not much else happened yesterday. Some friends came over during the day to wish us well and I left them with a bunch of Coca-Cola stuff that I wanted to see go to a good home. They too will miss us.

Oh the one other thing I did manage to get done yesterday was reconfiguring all the computers to be on the UPS. Right now I have this machine, the router, the modem, and the external HDDs on the UPS. It's putting about an 8% load on the unit which is nothing. If I lost power right now, I would be good for at least an hour if not 90 minutes.

Today is going to be nursing B's hangover most likely and relaxing. We are down to 25 days until we move and the next big adventure begins!
