Peace Corps Staging

It begins. Early this morning I cleared out the last of my apartment. Then caught a flight from Humboldt to San Francisco at 5:45 am, had an hour layover, and then caught a plane at 8:02 am to Los Angeles. Checked in at the Radisson Hotel 10:45 am, and then attend Peace Corps registration/orientation from 12:00-7:00 pm. So sleepy... I'm ready for some awesome vegan Indian food and then bed.

Mr. Bert's Wild Ride

After 2 days and over 11.5 hours of driving, Bert finally made it to his new home. In a few days when Bert has settled in, his new care takers will let out of his exercise pen and let him roam free.
Bert exploring the car, before we headed out. He did really well on the trip. He had trouble not sliding around the car though (especially on the twisty redwood highway), so he stayed under his cardboard box for most of the trip. He did come out to eat and visit during stop lights, and straightaways. Such a trooper. Now that Bert is safe and sound, it is time to go home and finish cleaning and packing up.

Friends Never Say Goodbye

Today all my large furniture went to a thrift store. The apartment seems a lot bigger without a couch or table in it. In a few days I will start on my last U.S. road trip, ending with Bert beginning his life as an LA bunny. It will be difficult adjusting to a bunny free lifestyle :(

Bye Bye Birdie

I am one step closer to being ready for the Peace Corps and one pet light. My parents took Boomer today to live with my aunt in Sacramento for the next few years. I will miss the crazy little guy. Who will constantly yell "what are you doing" or "Boomer is a sweet Boomer" at me now?

UN Urges Vegan Diet

The United Nations released a report stating an animal based diet is one of the largest contributors to fossil fuel consumption. Not only is an animal based diet not sustainable, a vegan diet is required to feed the world's growing population.
