On fire!

Today was supposed to be a lay-around-the-house day...but there's too much to do...had to do a bunch more change of address forms...working at finishing scoring a huge pile of psychological tests (450 of them total, helping a friend's research project, which she's paying me $1,000 for, so it's a GOOD thing)...going to pay my final tax bill...the last grocery shopping I'll ever do in Hong Kong...arranging to turn off the utilities and the phones and the cable, stuff like that.

One nice thing...I have been out for almost every lunch and supper for the past week with various friends and colleagues, all treating me as I'm leaving. That's fun, and I have some neat parting gifts, too.

And I have finally given in and bought the Harry Potter books. I never had time before, but a couple months ago I finally saw the first movie, and liked it more than I thought I would. So I walked past a huge window display this morning screaming about the NEW NEW NEW one, so I said, ok, why not? I'll be on holiday for 6-8 weeks, and like to read. So I am now the proud owner of all 5 of the Potter books...so nobody please post any spoiler stuff about what happens in them, please!

Thanks
