So I Moved . . . Again

Yeah, that's me. One step ahead of something. I have no idea what I'm trying to stay ahead of, but doggonit, I'm staying ahead of it.

Yep. All that stuff. Moved it again. In the same boxes it was in the last two - sometimes 3 - times I moved it.

I did however, unload the fabulous Vanilla colored sofa and love seat that I purchased on arriving in Florida. I sold those to B since he loves napping on them so much. They are beautiful, but two things prevented me from carrying them along. The first is the constant frustration of trying to keep Vanilla colored fabric from showing every black hair my sweet little fur-bellies leave behind--and they leave behind a LOT of hair. The second is space. I am now the secondary renter and thus have the two smaller rooms. My new roommate/land lady already has a lovely set of eggplant colored living room furniture which thankfully does not show all that black hair. I guess there's a third reason, too. I didn't want to bother with a storage unit to keep them for some future date when I'd have to...move them again.

I also left B the free furniture I got from Erin when he moved last year--the futon and entertainment unit. I've visited the old place since I left, and he is making good use of these, and of the pantry/work bench I put in the kitchen to make up for the horrible lack in storage space there.

The rest of it all came. About 1/4 of it still remains in the garage patiently awaiting the moment that I remember the rule I set for myself upon moving in (and promptly forgot)--that being "never go upstairs empty handed." That lasted approximately 1 week.

In my defense, though, I've had a mutant in my armpit that first made it painful to move because it was big, painful, and growing rapidly; then I had it removed and had 2 feet of sterile shoe string shoved inside the hole to drain any remaining OOK out of it. NOT a process I recommend for any conscious individual. Dr. Blue Eyes said it was an abscess about the size of a golf ball. Felt more like an elephant, but he's the one who got to see it. Personally, I didn't want anything to do with the bloody pussy thing. Ew.

So I haven't been online much in the meantime because I was using Shannon's (new roommate) PC, which currently has a virus of grand proportions, and not nearly enough RAM. I think Yaw's working on those issues for her. I couldn't use my PC yet, because I needed a wireless network card or some such creature to access Shannon's wireless router. Yaw fixed that for me as a Christmas gift--yay! I am still having a problem getting onto Guild Wars, but I think I know how to fix it--I'll bat my eyes at Yaw again! ;-)

Ahhh...It's good to be back on my own PC.
