Happy Birthday! I didn't realize. What a crazy time.
Hey, you realize not only are you arriving on Hermes' day, you're leaving on the Noumenia. Great timing for fresh starts!
So when does your stuff get out here? Hopefully soon after you do.
If you have just a little time to kill in Portland and you're hungry, it's a short walk to Chinatown, and that's the best Chinese food you're going to have for awhile, living in Eugene.
That is coming right after my birthday (and thank you) as well, likewise a really good time for a fresh start. We couldn't have planned this so well if we tried. I suppose we should take it all as a good sign (especially when we wanted to get moving a day earlier but Amtrak delayed us until the seventeenth).
So when does your stuff get out here? Hopefully soon after you do.
Hopefully. It could be a few days after or up to a week (or more, if the universe truly hates us). That's why we're bringing as much stuff with us on the train as we can, and using UPS to ship our bed, because I can't sleep on the floor and by the time we get there I'm going to need some real rest.

So I heard. Chinese food sucks in Baltimore too, so I guess we're used to it. Had hoped for better, but I suppose we'll live. :-(
Are there movers on this end too, who will unload into your apartment? Let us know if you need help with that - Sannion is a bull and can lift a lot. :)
It's sad, there's not a lot that's good for Chinese here, but it's made up for with excellent Japanese, Thai, Indian, Mexican, and plenty of other stuff. For some reason, most of the Chinese is very forgettable, overly-Americanized, everything-deep-fried sort of stuff. Passable, but not that great. At least there's Chinatown a couple hours away, which I always hit at least once on any trips to Portland (especially for dim sum, which we don't have at all here).
Heh, too bad we don't have him here, moving out of the fourth floor walk up is where we need the help. :-) We might want some help with the stuff we're bringing with us on the train (and the mattress), since I'm anticipating we're going to be exhausted when we get there. But the rest of the stuff the movers will take care of, manual labor is part of the package deal, and since there's only one flight of stairs on the new apartment it won't cost any extra.
They are fucking awful, why does anybody use them? If there is a real benefit of banking there, that's worth the shit you need to put up with, I'm not sure what it is.
I hope you don't get sick, but at least if you do, you'll be in a nicer place to recover?
I realize there's not a whole lot to be done about not stressing the cats out, but at least they're coming to a place that will clean and warm and dry and calm, and we're cat people, we know how to move around scared cats, and so that'll be good too. Poor things.
Oh, I know you guys will take good care of them. Its the airline that worries me more. Once I know they're collected and dropped off with you, we'll breathe easier. Aside from wondering how they might punish us that is. :-)
Thanks. And yes, at least it will be a better place to recover in. This apartment is ridiculously dry, and I think its really starting to get to me. Good to get away from it.
In the neighborhood we are moving to, the person who lives across the street from the Bank of America has a giant yellow banner pinned across their entire second story that says "I HATE BANK OF AMERICA." I find this endlessly amusing.
