And our journey comes to an end...

eirenical*blissful sigh* So, I thought I'd post a little update for those few of you who actually care about what's going on in my life beyond how many words I've written today. (For the record, that would be zero. :-P I'll see what I can do about that in a little bit. ^_~)
As I'm sure you remember, I went out of work on disability a little more than 7 months ago, now. My bosses decided that they didn't want me back with only partial capabilities and so I've been stuck, unable to go back at all, for all that time. With no income. Naturally, this led to me rapidly blowing through nearly my entire savings. Not. Cool. Regardless of when I did or didn't go back, I was going to need to do something to severely curtail my expenses, the biggest one of which was, of course, my apartment. *sigh* Fortunately, I have a wonderful family. ^_^ My Uncle volunteered to let me live, rent free, on the second floor of his house. That's two rather large sized rooms and a full bathroom all to myself. ^_^ Plus the kitchen downstairs and whatever else of the house I want to use. And since he doesn't really use the front door (which is right in front of the stairs to the second floor), I would even, essentially, have my own entrance.
Sweet deal, right? Of course, I intend to chip in money towards bills and such, but we'll argue out those details later. ^_^ So, my official move date was last Wednesday. And for the record, I must state that the only thing I loathe more than packing is unpacking. O_O It is one monumental pain in the rear -- especially when you're trying to move an entire two bedroom apartment into two rooms and a corner of a kitchen. O_O Not. Cool. *chuckles* Especially when it all has to happen in less than a week because you have company coming. *waves to a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

*coughs* But, I digress. ^_^ I basically moved myself and my cat into my old room at my parents' (right across the backyard) while doing all the unpacking, so I wouldn't have him underfoot. But, I was determined to have the vast majority of it done by today so we could spend at least one night here to settle in before my company arrives. (BTW, don't worry,msorange21, I'm not gonna make you share a room with him -- I love him, but he's an obnoxious little twit overnight and I wouldn't do that to you. He'll sleep with me while you're here. ^_^ Thus why I needed a break from him for one night first. O_o;;;) So, today I finally got the last of the major unpacking done, finished off my laundry, hooked up the TV and rearranged the furniture to my liking. Gabriel and I then spent a very pleasant evening watching ep. 15 of Glee on my laptop in the "living" room/guest room after setting up the new wireless modem for my Uncle's computer. And now that he's thoroughly settled in, I gave him his night-time treats, tucked him in and retreated to my bedroom, where I am now happily curled up in my papazan chair typing this post.
And for the first time in weeks... I feel like I can breathe. *happy sigh* It's a good damned feeling. ^_^
And that, as they say, is that. *waves* Good night, all! Pleasant dreams. ^_^

It's the fact that he's young and male and he likes to play between 3 and 6 AM... and if someone's in the room with him, he'd rather play with them than alone. And he will be a total nudge until you get up and answer his every whim and desire. *laughs* In other words, a typical cat. We'll see how you feel about it once you've met him. ^_~
Can't wait to show off the new place! :D
