Kay,

Sorry about the dead battery.

This moving stuff really is hard. Try to be kind and patient with yourself
because you are really doing the best you can.

I cannot remember the issues, but hubby and I were often not on the same
page with the move and we disagreed. For some things I put my foot down
and sometimes he put his.
I hated that he disagreed with me because I was always 100% right, having
moved so many times in my life.
But sometimes he was unmovable and I would give up.

I wish you luck in your new home.

We brought a few things in that symbolized good luck/good vibes.

I remember that an older woman who was working as a secretary told me that this is what she ALWAYS did to remember to turn off her lights:


1 When she turned ON the lights, she would throw her purse in the back seat/floor of the car.


2 That way when she reached to get her purse, she would look to
double check the lights that the lights were out.


After she told me that, I did that from then on. It saved me.

My CBT psychologist had a similar system for himself but I liked the secretary's system better for me.

They picked up Kays new couch. She does not like the new pillows that came with the couch. A hodge podge of pillows from her picture.
I did not hear any more from her so I am assuming things are going ok.

Hopefully Kay will find other areas in the room to put the pillows on tying everything together.

Understandable about the lights/battery; she had soooooo much on her plate.....

I guess the car does ding if you leave the lights on, but I'm oblivious to it... I am oblivious to a lot of things. Thank you for your suggestion about putting my purse in the back seat, Mari. I will try that

I was (obviously) in control of all the packing, but my husband took control of the move. I did not like the way he rushed me, or told me how to do things, but he was doing all the heavy lifting, so I didn't argue with him. My brother-in-law was with him most of Saturday when I was not, and convinced him to get rid of some things that I had not been able get him to part with (BONUS). We were pretty much on our own Sunday.
I spent a lot of time holding open both entry doors at once for Corey and/or my BIL to bring things in... not exactly easy for me. Being on the second floor will be okay, but it's not exactly easy to continuously go up and down the stairs when you're moving though. I'm very sore from all that, and from everything else.

I could have chosen a more convenient time for the appointment for the cable installation on Saturday, but I didn't know how ****ed up the previous install was here. The cable man couldn't find the source of the signal and had to locate it, drill holes, run cable wire around the front door, and God knows what else. He was here from about 11:30am-2:30pm... time I could have spent doing a million other things. When he has the energy, Corey will still have to clean up his work, too. I guess it was sloppy.

With everything we threw away/gave away, I can't believe how much **** we still have!!! Corey worked SO HARD... I can't believe he went to work today. I wish he would have taken today off because he must be in a lot of pain.

We brought the cats over to the new apartment Saturday afternoon. Dottie didn't puke or **** in the carrier. This time she peed in it, and was covered in it. I had to wash her up and let her dry for a while in the bathroom before I could set her free. For a while, Rocky was hissing and growling at everything/everyone. Buddy wouldn't come out from under a little end table for a long time. Later, I found Dottie hiding between Corey's two pillows (lol) and Buddy hiding under the quilt on the bed. Now Rocky is happier than I've ever seen him! Dottie seems very comfortable now, too. Buddy was spending most of his time under the covers, but I saw him sneaking out to eat and use the box. He's been out exploring this morning tho, maybe because Corey isn't here.

I bought a corner litter box and I worried that they wouldn't take to it, but it's been a big hit. They've all been using it. All 3 boxes I bought are HUGE. I used my black light everywhere last night, and there's been no improper urine marking so far!!!
They've also been good about not scratching the couch so far, at least in front of us.

I still have to clean the old apartment... there is A LOT to do... I don't know how I'm going to do it all, but I will do the best I can and that will have to be good enough. I know I have until tomorrow at noon, but I want to be out of there TODAY. I wish I was hypo/manic, but I'm not... I'm dragging ***.

I have to buy trash cans and TP. It would be nice to pick up some food, too because our cupboards are bare, but my car is full of **** that Corey (understandably) just didn't have the energy to bring in last night. I may bring in a few small things before I set off to the old place to make room in the car for the other things. IDK if I want to waste my energy doing that though. I have enough to do today already. Corey is coming by the old apt. after work to (hopefully) pick up the vacuum and the rest of my cleaning stuff.

Yup, I really do ****ing HATE those couch pillows! They're ugly as sin and feel like sand bags. I'd like to burn them, buy new ones, or at least put pillow covers over them, but Corey wants to keep them as is... yuck!

Wish me luck cleaning! I need it!

[bizi]

Thank you so much for the update!!!!!
Yeah Corey pulled thru when you really needed it. Thank goodness for your brother in law!

Wonderful news about the kitties getting used to the new place and no CAT PEE where it should not be!

Good luck cleaning and be safe today.

I just caught up on everything. I'm so glad the kitties seem to
be liking the new place, and things went smoother with the moving of
them. I am so glad you like the place and the couch.

Even if Corey likes the pillows like they are. I'd just say these are
Corey's and buy one or two when you can for you.

That's a good idea....
Hopefully Kay will be able to get a couple of pillows she can call her's...(May even help Cory's pillows blend in.)
