The Boyfriend and I are headed West for our move. We finally, finally packed up all the stuff into the 24′ Budget truck, hooked his Honda up to the dolly, threw the dogs in the cab and headed out. We drove 550 miles yesterday in 11 hours. Hard to make good time in a big rig with a governor on it. I even slept in the floor of the cab for a while, since the dogs’ fat asses take up so much room.

We are taking a day off from driving to spend time at The Boyfriend’s sister’s place in Iowa City. She is letting our mutts hang out here for a while while we go thrift shopping and maybe wine drinking later. After today it is peddle to the metal until we hit California. I’m sure we’ll stop in hotels to sleep, but I wish we didn’t have to. I’m ready to be there.
