It’s amazing how much easier difficult situations can be with the comfort of familiar things and the best of friends to support you. Sophie has all of that, and more.
Meta question for GoComics Premium members. All day, I have been seeing a large gray box at the top of a strip when opened. I’m on Firefox for Windows Desktop. I suspect it’s supposed to hold an ad, but as we don’t get them it’s just a blank eating up 1/4 of the screen for several seconds. Anyone else experiencing this?
One change I’ve noticed since the gray bar appeared is that I can slide the page horizontally so I can now zoom in and enlarge the screen to a more comfortable viewing experience without losing the bell with the red notifications icon. Before, I’d have to zoom in to get to the notifications link, click to get to the replies, then zoom back out so I could read the text.
I want to thank everyone for your kind comments, I can deal with change when it’s something I can control. When it’s out of my hands and I am at someone else’s mercies, I am uncomfortable. The 1st being a Saturday means, if he is any kind of non-secular Jew, I won’t see him until after sundown or on Sunday. I suppose my biggest fear is having my lease voided and a huge rent increase. I will do my best to make myself useful to him like always, and the hope that he will see that I will save him money in the long run and increase the value of his investment. To go through this twice in less than 8 months is ridiculous, I mean, barb’s anxiety is my anxiety, moving is hard on her because of her MS. last time we moved was 150 feet to a different building and I did all the work, and I was 45.
Sophie girl, I feel ya. I wish I could hide under something until the work on my apartment is done. I keep telling myself it will be nice to have a fresh clean place, but meanwhile…
Movers are due to arrive in an hour or so. So far, I haven’t thrown up. I take that as a good sign…

This change is bringing back something familiar, not removing it.

How long Sophie remains there will determine whether or not they will need to forward her mail to “under this bureau” as Elvis once announced.

Yes! This! Coping mechanisms are not a four-letter word! Healthy stress management techniques are good for you AND those around you.

Beautiful drawing of your window, Miss Sophie. I can’t wait to see your first view out of your old window in your new home.

Is this the same bureau/chest of drawers where Sophie found Lady Jane’s journal?

Me and my Window
That’s where I’ll go
Wherever I sit there, everyone knows
It’s me and my Window
Me and my Window
Waiting for sun rise
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It’s me and my Window
And in the morning when I wake up
I’ll rush to my special place
And if stormy and all scary
I’ll carry on, oh yes, I will
Me and my Window
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
That’s where I’ll go
Wherever I sit there, everyone knows
It’s me and my Window
Me and my Window
Me and my Window
Me and my Window
Me and my Window
Me and my Window

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
At the oPyramid
Beatrixia: The hidden room is supposed to be located somewhere down the corridor after the pantry where we found all the imperishable food.
Iggy: I still love the taste of vanilla scones. I wonder if there is any more available.
Violet-Ifa: There’s no telling.
Wally: Here’s a hieroglyph that might give us a clue. It has my great-great-great-great grandfather’s signature symbol as well.
Vi: The hieroglyphs read: “Grab a snack from the pantry and go past the litter room on the right. That’s where we are.”
Bea: Let’s go!
At the Luthier’s Workshop
Ora Z: So a guitar can be a percussion instrument as well as a stringed instrument?
Lynn: That’s right. Using certain techniques a guitar can make sounds kinda like a drum.
Mandy: We also have some drums we made for you.
Ora Z: Alright. So I pick up the guitar and smash it on the ground?
Lynn: Maybe Ziggy can show you when the Red Planet Spider puts in to harbor.
Ora Z: Also, Thomios told me you’re both invited to join us for Perfect Perch tonight.
Mandy: Delighted!
Sometime Later at the Palace
Puckmosis: It’s a pleasure to have you come to dine with us.
Mandy: We love to come here.
Puck: Did you happen to see Bea and Iggy and Wally on your way here?
Lynn: No. I thought they may have already come back.
Puck: Lupinium, did you see them on your way back?
Lupinium: No. I’m sure they’re fine, though.
Elvis-Anum: We have to find out!
Puck: Are you planning to go to th

I enjoy the artist’s rendering of the window. I seem to remember Elvis had a similar coping mechanism at one point.

No gray bar on a Mac, running NoScript and Ghostery. It did show up yesterday, but lasted only about a second or less. Haven’t seen it today.

I have it. There was an ad for a Calvin and Hobbs collection but that disappeared when I clicked the X in the corner, leaving the dark grey box.
