Kay,

So happy you will have new cabinets and then a new small table for
the kitchen.

Great also that you have a new couch, chair, ottoman.
(Cool story about getting rid of your old couch.)


Do the cats notice the packing and such?

What's the view? Are you happy with the step down I think I remember
you mentioned earlier?

can you get a leaf table?> would that solve the problem? the patio sounds wonderful. can you get a feliway spray for the cats' room? maybe that would
help the initial peeing.would the kitchen furniture fit on the patio or would it not be appropriate. wish you could send us a picture of the view. It sounds so tranquil.
Love

The kitties have been tolerating the packing very well. They are enjoying laying on the boxes. Rocky keeps chewing on the tape though, and I'm afraid the bottoms of the boxes are going to fall out! There's pretty much nothing left in the bottom of the closets, so I've left the doors open, and they've been spending a lot of time laying in there.

We won't bring them to the new apartment until Saturday, but I'm going to plug in the Felaway diffusers as soon as we get there on Friday. I don't know where we are putting the boxes yet, but I bought 3 new ones based on size alone. Their comfort is what's most important. We'll find a way to make them work.

My assigned parking spot is right next to the door. I'm going UP to the second floor now, but there are the same amount of stairs as if I was going DOWN (like I am now) so it doesn't matter. There are less stairs at the new place, and my apartment is right at the top of the stairs. The stairs are better at the new place because I can clearly tell them apart. The carpet pattern is funky here so it's hard to do that and I've had quite a few falls.

I won't talk to my husband about buying a new kitchen table until he sees the new kitchen. When I say it's tiny, I mean it's TINY. Our set isn't even that big (round glass table, 4 chairs), but it won't fit. It's not appropriate for outside use, but we have a little patio set with 2 chairs and a little table. We would need something VERY SMALL for the space we have. He won't want to spend the money right now, but he can be convinced.

I got a call from the lady in the leasing office asking if I could come in and sign the lease yesterday vs. Friday. So I paid the security deposit and first month's rent (OUCH) and signed for myself and Corey. We have the keys, but we can't get into the apartment until after noon tomorrow.

I got very little done yesterday because we had no water in the morning, I had to run errands, and go sign the lease, but I think everything will be okay. I don't have a lot left to do as far as packing goes. I'm going to clean some of the furniture when I'm done. I don't want to take dirty/dusty things into our nice new apartment. I was going to do one more load of laundry here, but I may not bother.

I get my nails done every other week, and I'm overdue. I was going to skip this week, but I changed my mind. I've worked LONG and HARD and decided I should do something nice for myself because I won't even have time to breathe for quite a while. My appointment is at 8:45am, so it's early enough that it won't interfere with the rest of my plans for the day.

We are supposed to pick up the U-Haul truck tomorrow at 9am. While Corey starts putting boxes in the truck, I'm going to pack up the kitchen. We won't be getting any help moving until Saturday afternoon. I hope he doesn't hurt himself trying to do too much before then.

I don't know when I'll be back online since I'll be so busy over the next few days...

I wish everyone well, and look forward to checking in when I can

Yesterday started out badly because I had left my lights on the day before and my battery was dead, so we were stranded. I had to call the U-Haul store a couple of times to tell them we would be late and ask them not to give our truck away. After a lot of wasted time and misadventures, we finally took a cab to pick up the truck, bought brand new jumper cables, and Corey used the truck to jump start my car.

This is the 3rd time this year I've done that. To put it mildly, Corey was NOT HAPPY with me, and it was a miserable day for us both.

When I brought him over to see the new apartment, there was a random refrigerator in the living room. I don't know if it was that, his bad mood in general, or the shock because the apartment is so different, but he really didn't seem thrilled about it... not exactly the reaction I was hoping for, but he did say it's better than where we're living now, so that's something. I called the office and left a message about the fridge. I REALLY hope it's gone today. If it's not, I don't know what we'll do with it, and I know Corey will hit the roof.

He worked like fiend putting almost all the boxes in the truck yesterday. It's almost full. I wish he had paced himself. My BIL is coming some time this morning. The truck has to be empty before Corey picks up the furniture from the store, but I hope he doesn't plan on emptying the truck all by himself. He's sooooo impatient.

I just have to pack up the clothes I left out for us for the week, our everyday bath items, and the rest of the kitchen. I would have packed up the whole kitchen yesterday, but Corey wanted me to make dinner last night, then changed his mind, and we ordered out.

I have an appointment with the cable guy between 10am-12pm. I have to have at least 1 phone, the TVs, and the router there. Corey has to disconnect everything this morning. It will no doubt put him in a bad mood.

We'll wait until late afternoon to bring the kitties to the new apartment. I REALLY hope that this car trip goes more smoothly than the last one. The new cat boxes came a few days ago and are waiting to be picked up at the office here.

[mymorgy]

i guess there won't be smooth sailing til it is all over. I so hope it will be okay with the kitty cats. I guess you will have them in one room. I guessed wrong about Corey. I thought he would be thrilled too. At least he came through.
I hope the weather is with you.
Love
bobby

Oh man....
I am so sorry that your battery was dead. How very frustrating for you.
Please don't be hard on yourself. You are human and are doing the best that you can do. My car beeps at me when I have left my lights on, also we have running lights on too so they're on While driving.
So sorry that it was an awful day for you.
I hope today is better and that they have moved the refridgerator out.
