The Trials of Watson, Packing, and Preparing for North Carolina

Back in Columbia, and illegally housing Watson at our apartment complex for the next few days due to the fascist laws of Kelly's Ridge. The situation has made potty training a wee bit difficult (HA pun), considering I can't always sneak him outside in time, and he views his puppy pad more as a bed than an acceptable soiling spot. As the day has progressed I've decreased his roaming area more and more. As it stands now he's allowed access to the living room. The constant vigilance required with a new puppy is making packing a lengthy and at times impossible endeavor. There's still a lot to be done between now and 10:30 a.m. Sunday when the heads of Kelly's Ridge come down to check if we have met their draconian requirements.

If we ever do get everything boxed up and moved out of the apartment on time, the next step is preparing for North Carolina: requiring me to find time to buy a new suit and more packing... Then there's still the problem of getting from Charlotte airport to Winston-Salem. As of now, the best option is the reliance on a fellow law student who has offered to pick me up from the airport, but, due to prior commitments, I still wouldn't get to Winston till about 6:30 p.m. a half hour after my new apartment complex closes... Looks like Watson just woke up from his nap. Guess that's it for now then.
