• Remember 5 weeks ago when I said Tao HQ is 10 days from moving to Orlando, FL?

• We've been 10 days from moving to Orlando... for the past 35 days.

• The movers have been cancelled twice. There were moments of insanity where my bones were vibrating at a different frequency than the rest of my internal organs. I finally shaved my beard (straight blade, hot lather) to help change our luck!

• And I'm not being dramatic. Seriously, I haven't disconnected our fibre optic internet connection. 

• And for the first time in a very long time, I really REALLY desperately want to cancel my internet service.
