Mostly moved!

We moved our bodies and pets over the weekend (most importantly, the bed...that made it official that we had moved in!), and much of our stuff.....it was utter chaos to move before we had planned to, so there is still stuff in kitchen cabinets and closets at the apartment.

I didn't get that last week to pack things and clean them before moving them, so it was not an ideal situation, but I am so glad to be in the house!

I took a vacation day on Monday, which was very fortunate, because the weekend was utterly exhausting.

But Monday was exhausting, too, because I stayed home and unpacked/nested all day, and then moved stuff Monday night with Dave and my friend Johnny from work.

Johnny has a pick up truck, and he has been helping us a lot. He helped bring over three or four truck loads before we moved in, he was available Saturday for the big move day, but Dave's son was so late that Johnny ran out of time before he got to do anything.

Then, Monday night, he did 2 truck loads for us, and helped me get my clothes over here before I had to go back to work Tuesday.

He will help us one last time tomorrow night, and anything we don't get out of the apartment tomorrow will be gotten over the weekend just with our cars.

Then, also over the holiday weekend, we will get in there and clean. Our official change of address with the post office is next Tuesday, June 1, but we are locked into the lease until 6/15.

We will give them the keys on 6/15, and by then the place will be fully emptied out and spotless.

Jack the cat has started to settle down. He was pretty freaked out for the first couple of days, hiding under the bed or IN the bed, under the covers, not eating or drinking. That's improving.

Nichi the 25 year old cockatiel is doing fine, as he always does. He flew into the bedroom today, and landed in the middle of the bed. That was pretty funny.

We love this house, and I personally can't wait til all of the chaos is over, and all of the boxes are emptied and gone. Then I will finally be able to relax.
