Well, the move is done. The movers came (late, after I had a minor freakout) and moved all my stuff. The house went from being pretty to being a complete disaster all over again. Yay? But we did some unpacking on Saturday afternoon and evening, and then yesterday as well. fava_bean came out to my old apartment in Oak Park to help me clean up and pack the car with what was left of my stuff. I drove her out to the house, we unloaded, I showed her around, and then we grabbed lunch and headed back for the last carload of stuff. I wouldn't have been able to get things done without her help yesterday. Anyway, the keys have all been left behind, and all is done. However, that shithead college kid who agreed to come get my sofa never called or showed up, so I had to leave the sofa behind in the apartment. I'm sure my landlord won't be too pleased to find that, but oh well. When I moved in the previous tennants had left THEIR sofa behind, so whatever. What it all comes down to is that I no longer live there. I have a house, with a garage, and a little yard, and the whole shebang. And the Scientist and I are now sleeping in OUR room, instead of in the guest room, and it finally really feels like home. It's nice.

In other news... What other news is there? The past few weeks were all about packing and moving and unpacking, and now the worst of it is over. Now we just have to figure out where all the kitchen supplies will go, and putting books away, and clothing, and then it's time to decorate for Halloween. Wooooo! I really am looking forward to Halloween. I hope my costume works out. I had to return part of it last week, and they assured me that I'd have a replacement by early next week at the latest, so that should be enough time to do embellishments. I do have to find a sewing store out in my area, though.

Today I came in to work to find Troy had left me a taffy apple. Yay! NOW it feels like autumn.

I guess that's about all I have to say. I hope things are looking up for those of you who are having a rough time, and I hope things are going well for everyone who's doing okay. Sorry I haven't been commenting lately, or calling anyone, for that matter. I've been off in my own world for too long. I'm looking forward to just getting back into a regular life pattern again.

Oh, yay for being moved! After reading about spicedrum's moving woes, it's nice to have a story of a successful move. Hooray for homeowning!

That's fantastic. I'm so happy for you. :)
