Well it's my last night at home before I move out tomorrow to my new college dorm. It's surreal seeing everything packed and ready to go. Off to college? Remember... Stay away from girls who drink too much, peers that listen to Iggy Pop and the Velvet Underground, and the demon weed.
And Study!
Or not...

It's surreal, but it's such a great time, Pharozonk! It's a unique time of life where you have the most perks of adulthood with the fewest responsibilities (relatively speaking, i.e. no mortgage typically, etc). I missed college so much it physically hurt to think about for a few years after. You'll probably love it.

Dallas (or thereabouts) to the Atlanta area, if memory serves? If your route takes you through central Alabama, (a) let me know if you feel like it (b) keep your doors & windows locked.

It's the first "first day of school" in a long time I'm not looking forward too. For the few really long-time CBR posters here, he was 2-3 years old when I started posting at CBR and I was still in law school at the time.

Comixology is making it really hard to give them my money.
I try creating an account but it says my email is already in use, so I go to sign in. Wrong password. Ok, so I do the reset password thing. New password can't be same as old. So I open the app back up and type the password again. Wrong password. Try to go back to reset but that page has redirected to the homepage and somehow is showing me as signed in. Go back to the app and still can't sign in. Try to get a reset link sent again but it just redirects to the homepage. Awesome.

I know that in the past when I've had issues they've been pretty prompt in their responses and are usually very helpful.

Yeah, I was just about to post that they sorted it extremely quickly. Apparently there was a mass reset earlier this year. They are now able to get my money.

So we're in the process of moving from central New York to Wyoming. The movers were scheduled to pack us on Mon, load on Tues, w/our flight leaving 8 am Wed. So Mon morning 2 guys show up to pack. We don't think that's enough, but they say it'll be fine. They finish 12 hours later, after getting 3 more people to help. Many remarks about how many books we have, of course. But they were friendly and professional. No problem there.
We ask what time to expect them on Tues. Oh, the boss said we'd be loading you on Wed. Um, we'll be gone by then. So one guy makes a call, and tells his boss they have no choice, we need to be loaded on Tues.
They ended up renting a U-Haul to load our stuff in; when they have one of their vans available, they'll have to transfer everything over, and then ship it to Wy. But hey, they got it done.
I was dreading the trip itself; our cat Sabrina hates car rides, and I expected her to complain the whole way. But she was actually well-behaved thru the cab, two flights, finding our way thru the Denver airport, and the shuttle bus. The calming spray and catnip helped. So we are currently in Cheyenne, staying w/friends until our place is available.
The longest move I've ever made, tho not for the wife. But much less traumatic than I'd been expecting.

Good luck settling in to the new place. I hate moving, did it far too many times in my youth (my move to Ohio was the 31st time I had packed up stuff and moved-(if you count relocations to college), 27th if you don't). I've now been in the same place for 11 years, the longest I have ever lived in the same place, and I don't miss moving one bit.

What part of Wyoming Jodoc? Cheyenne. We're actually staying in a house right next door to the one we'll be moving into. Cheryl's friend knew her neighbor was moving and made the connection for us.
