First of all, I did get the keys! )

Well, then I came home and Jeanne was planning to stop by to pick up my size-15 knitting needles. She asked if I wanted my present tonight. (Um. YES!! *greedy*) She was worried it would just give me another thing to pack. But she brought it over and I gleefully opened it--she got me Rick Steve's 2006 book on Paris, his highly-reviewed phrasebook, and a wonderful, laminated, Streetwise street map of Paris with a Metro guide on the back! She was so adorable about it, because she'd had a flash of inspiration and bought it. My French instructor was telling me how much I needed to get his stuff, because it's apparently just the best. It was not only awesome, but thoughtful and useful--I'd been dreading poring over all those Fodor's and Let's GO books and trying to pick one. Thanks, Jeanne!!!

And I talked to Kelly again. Kelly, who is loaning me everything he has and selling me the Benjamin Moore paint at his cost. I'm not sure what I did to deserve him, but clearly it was something big.

So, wow. I feel a whole lot better. Keys in hand, place totally cleaned, painting plans on target. I have the day off tomorrow and my goal is to get some errands done in the morning, just briefly stop by work to check in on a couple of things, and then head over to Fred Meyer with my giant list, and then to Chez Cat no later than 2pm to tape as much trim as is humanly possible before people get there.

I figure pizza will work for dinner, lots of caffeine, and maybe some brownies for dessert. Also must get: paper towels. Toilet paper and soap and hand towels. Jeanne's bringing her iPod speakers and a number of us will have our iPods. We hope to paint until we're just done. It would be awesome to just finish Friday night so everyone can have Saturday off, before helping me move on Sunday.

...And tomorrow? Tomorrow I still get to sleep in. *glee*

um, also

I really want to drive back over there. But I'm restraining myself. But I could if I wanted to!!
