I'm a Nebraska Gal! :)

June 1st, 2014 at 07:53 am

I'm writing on my phone so this will be short. Smile

This has been a LONG week with many frustrations - mainly because I was SO tired. The upshot though is that we arrived into Ltown Thursday night. Friday we unloaded the truck into my storage unit, and today finished getting what I wanted into the apt (Saturday)

Saturday night I spent cleaning and organizing so my stuff would fit better. We also thrifted a ton of his clothes he doesn't wear anymore so I'd have some closet space (on Friday)

Sunday I have my second interview in person for the office job. Tuesday the Internet should be set up and Wednesday I start training for the tutoring job.

I easily met the $500 spending for the Quicksilver card by renting my truck and tow dolly. I spent over $450 on gas for my car and the truck. I think my total moving costs are roughly $1200. Of course I'll have another move once I've found an apartment, but that'll be an in town move so should be fairly cheap.

I'm going to look into the chase freedom card deal. I love when the deals offered are attainable for me. Smile

So far everything is going well. Although sometimes I stop short and wonder if I've really made this major change or if I'm just dreaming. Smile Kari I think wishes she was dreaming - she's having a really hard time adjusting going from a one cat house to an multi cat household. I will admit that it is a bit overwhelming sometimes. I did get him to put out two more litter boxes so we now have four with clumping litter. Helps a lot.

I can only imagine how tired you are today! I hope you have a little time to rest before you begin the busy week ahead. Enjoy your new (albeit temp) digs and housemate!!

Wow - Big changes! I've not been around SA as much as I'd like ... I knew the move was coming but didn't realize it was imminent. So glad to hear you arrived safely. Good luck with all of the work still to do.

Glad you've made the move and the worst is behind you. Poor Kari! At least she still has her mommy!

Yay!
Glad you are all there in one piece. can't wait to hear more.

FYI I've heard rule of thumb should be one litter box per cat.

Thanks everyone! It sure has been quite the journey and I'm still not sure where it'll end.

LF - I was lucky to get him to suggest me getting two more litter boxes. Even if I could get him to see the wisdom of a 1:1 ratio, there really isn't enough room.

Ceejay - do share please!

LF - I realized I made a mistake. We have five litter boxes now including Kari's.

CCF - maybe we could meet sometime at the restaurant Ceejays talking about

It's called "Modern Love Omaha." I just found their Facebook page and they're not open yet but it sounds like it could be sometime this month!

Thanks MEC - I'll start the tutoring training tomorrow, but alas, the job I interviewed for on Sunday is not to be.
