Little C and Catness
And THEN: This little beggar
Today I spent my afternoon helping E and his sweetheart J with some cleaning and packing for their upcoming move.
On Monday, E started working a new job on the coast, and he had planned on spending his weekends downsizing, moving stuff to his new city, and getting the Portland house ready to sell, as he had time. But also on Monday, his house was broken into by an old "friend", discovered by J when she drove back to Portland because she had a weird feeling that the house wasn't okay. Thank goodness the woman was caught before she could get away with the stuff she'd already taken, and no one was hurt. But it put the whole situation into emergency mode, since E has to work all week and J has been having a hard time, feeling safe at the house by herself. Now they just want to pack and get the heck out, as fast as possible.
So I offered to help, and today that's what I did. I'm going back over tomorrow to get more done. Poor E has been struggling so much to keep things going and the new job was a huge blessing, but then this happened - it really threw a monkey wrench into his already complicated life. That said, he's feeling grateful that it went the way it did.
