Hang in there, @disneyland_is_magic . Don't have much wisdom to share, wish I did, but know I hear you, I validate you, and I wish I could wave a magic wand - for you, for me, for the world right now. Socially distanced hugs and heaps of caring from New Jersey!!
today. And if I'm not mistaken, it's a real milestone, #90!!! You are a sweetheart, and I always enjoy seeing you on videos. I hope you will be able to do something special to enjoy your day today!
Happy 2021!
We just need to spread out buying new rugs and replacement furniture since some of our stuff had seen better days. My parents replaced furniture when they celebrate 25 years and a few years later when they changed states after retirement. I don't think that they want to give up their custom Amish made dining room set yet (the chairs are great for tall people plus has felt padding to keep flooring nice).
Hope your move, and settling in, goes as smoothly as possible, and that your new place is all your hope for, and more. Moving is HORRIBLE - I've had to move 5 times in the last 4-ish years, and it's NOT been fun. Always stressful. I can tell you that NEVER having had laundry inside my living space before has been AWESOME (have had that this past year) - I have a load in right now, and I LOVE it, so ENJOY! Stay happy, and healthy!!I am so excited to get a laundry room inside. Our dryer did not have room in our current laundry closet which is in an outdoor close. Our new apartment is newly refurb with granite, new vinyl flooring except new carpet in the bedrooms, and nice finishes. We lose a bedroom, but still have decent storage plus we get a porch big enough for maybe tomatoes this year.
We got a busy day tomorrow with service set ups, changiing info, and getting keys/remotes. It is our first controlled access property. It seems like it is a trend for apartment communities around here to revamp and add gates to charge higher. Rents are almost MD?VA?DC pricing now.
We moved out by 2 am Saturday (had to give up some items plus extension of time) in order to gert some rent money back. We tried to get a u-haul Friday, but college kids were returning back to the area so limited supply and we had limited funds/time with College Hunks (used them for the heavy items/boxes plus some of the apartment leasing office furniture). We left some items that we had a hard time finding the proper disposal sites for our old paints/car stuff/axe that we had from our house. We took it easy the past couple of days to rest. Oreo had a rough past couple of weeks with the packing and multiple runs between the 2 apartments. I think she is starting to enjoy the walks and the new dog park.
Continued wishes for best of luck!!
DH got a short term job. Hope that it goes smoother soon for it because it was a last minute thing for the client. It is looking good for the direct hire options soon. We just need to organize the office and other spaces. We are still trying to figure how to fit our stuff better. The poor dog has separation anxiety this week. She just wants access to both of us/7...but, more with her"daddy".
Definitely a huge PITA to have inconsiderate neighbors, no matter what the issue is - drives me nuts, and I've had to suffer greatly with many over the years (living mostly in apartments, so have a lot more "neighbors:"). Just curious what an "anti-barking device" is, and how it works? The only ones I've ever seen/heard of have been "shock collar" like things, so I'm curious.
