  • AND...

    I've now moved.  lol


    My dad, bro, sis, friends Nic & Cole all got to my old place at about 10:00am and we had everything unloaded at the new place, and lunch eaten, by about 1:30.  I'm pretty impressed with that.  Especially considering how long it took to manuever the couch into my doorway (the hallway in the new building is significantly narrower than my old one.) 


    All that's left now at the old place are various items and a LOT of cleaning.  I have a feeling I won't be getting half of my deposit back, but oh well.  It was a learning curve for me, and hopefully the things I didn't take care of properly in the old place will stick with me here so that I'm more responsible about things.


    I'm freaking exhausted right now.  Let me tell you.. I will definitely not be moving during report week ever again.  So we'll have to hope for another promotion, or at least a good raise before the next time I need to move so i can pay rent for an extended time or whatever to make moving easier on myself.  It all got done though, so I guess I can't complain too much.


    A group of us are going out next thursday night to a mexican place we haven't been in FOREVER to celebrate my promotion   I'm excited.  It will be nice because we won't have to work the next day.


    John's parents also invited us over for a BBQ next weekend.  WOOHOO!    I'm excited for that.  There is also a family reunion of theirs on my birthday... which apparently I will be going to for at least a little bit?  We'll see I suppose. 


    John is also coming "home" with me the weekend after next (12th) to celebrate my b-day with my family.  It won't necessarily work out as well as I had planned, and actually might NOT happen after all because my grandma's sister is dying of cancer. They had her down in the cities for some radiation (she has cancer pretty much every where and for some reason I think this particular part they were trying to radiate was in her bones... which I believe is never a good sign) and she was supposed to be getting that treatment for 3 weeks.  It's only been a week and I was told on Thursday that they will be bringing her home (WAY up at the top of the state) and arranging hospice-so the treatment wasn't working.  WELL, then yesterday morning I guess judging by vitals or however Falls by ambulance as she isn't even strong enough to sit up.


    All that said, my G'ma is going up to the Falls on Monday or Tuesday, whichever day they release her, and won't be coming back until it's all over.  I'm so sad for my G'ma today. So sad.  I called to ask how she was doing and to find out if I could still see M before she was brought back up north (cuz I haven't seen her in over a year) but it's only her sisters & children that are allowed to see her at this point.  I'm also very sad about that.  I respect it, and I understand it, but that whole selfish thing of wishing I could see her one last time. 


    I'm also sad because it is unlikely that I will be able to go to the funeral.  And I'm very selfishly sad that my g'ma might not get to be home the weekend of the 12th so that she can meet my boyfriend.  I think I'm also a little bit overly emotional and irrational today.  Go figure. 


    Ugh.. so much crying today.  But that's okay.  Good to get it out.


    John has a performance type thing tonight at 10pm.  It's called "Villification Tennis" which I guess is something common at the RenFest where you basically have an "insult competition" or something.  And I wanted to go.  But I'm wiped right now. And I cried about that too.  lol  So he's going to do his thing tonight, then go to the after party from the Cities Improv Festival... and then he'll call me and I'll let him back in to the new apartment so that he can sleep with me. 


    It's so beautiful here. 


    It's so calm.


    It's so filled with boxes that are full at the moment.  I should probably get on that.


    Love you all!
