Aaaaand we're off!

Today marks the first official day of Hurricane Season! Thus, I'm staring down the barrel of six months worth of grim-lipped, brow-furrowed, worrisome weather watching -- not by me, but by my nervous mother back in MN. (Honestly, does the national forecast really need to air on Midwestern news stations?!) All kidding aside, I probably do need to give some thought to a personal hurricane plan this year. Last summer I kind of skirted through by purchasing a couple extra gallon jugs of water to plop on my pantry shelf and called it a day. Jax was fortunate, though, (and has been so historically) so I'm going to cross my fingers for another mild season!

Today is also my first full day in the new apartment unit. After a full weekend of packing, lifting, climbing stairs, directing movers, unpacking, breaking down boxes and cleaning, I'm still not completely settled in - but I'm pretty close! I'm running into some storage challenges (no more guest bedroom closet to stash the random/bulky items in) but overall I'm really happy with the new layout and cozier set-up. This morning I came into the kitchen to greet Libby, and found her curled into a ball under the bottom shelf in the little pantry closet. She's obviously going to need a couple days to adjust to our new environment!
