Oh noes!!!
Yep. Al and I are now the happy new tenants of 1730 T Street, Apt 4.
Oh shit, it's already the 19th?!? Where the hell did the rest of this month go?!
We're nowhere near finished with our move, but at least all the backbreakingly heavy stuff has been shifted to the new place, so it's mainly just cramming the last of the miscellaneous crap into boxes, taking down my zillion-and-one pieces of artwork, patching/painting all the nail holes, and then giving the carpet a full rubber-suited hazmat scrubdown. (Ok, so it's not that bad, but there's enough grey cat fur ground into those fibers to knit us an entire new rug)
The new apartment is lovely, if a bit on the chilly side, and we spent our first night in the new place snuggled up close in our fluffy new bed, with the covers pulled up to our noses, and listening to the sound of raindrops spattering on window panes.
The kitties are also responding well to their new environment, and have already decided that this is "home." We'll see how they react the first time they come nose to nose with Jack (the neighbor's cat), who seems to have decided that our apartment is the kitty equivalent of Disneyland, and takes every available opportunity to dart through our legs and into the living room whenever we open door to the back porch. (Not to mention yowling for attention day and night whenever somebody steps into the laundry room where he can see/hear us)
Aside from the occasionally noisy feline neighbor, and the dubious nature of our electrical outlets (I hope to hell we don't trip a breaker every time someone tries to use the computers and a sewing machine at the same time) the place is pretty much perfect for us. With one slight catch...
We're going to have to go without DSL access until the 28th.
Oh cruel and miserable fate... You tempt me with the promise of new Doctor Who airing on Christmas Day, and then you snatch it from my very grasp!
Graaaahhh!!!
