Weekly update. . .settling in

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I posted, we have officially moved out of Georgia and landed in Indiana. I've been looking for a house and dealing with getting the cats settled, admittedly Reover and Jaspurrr have moved before and were not that bothered but poor little Merlin was proper freaked. 😔 I mean you can't blame him; he's only 1 and had lived in the same place his whole short little life, so whole days in the vehicle, strange hotel to land in a new "home" that is actually an apartment where he can hear neighbors and people keep walking their dogs by the windows. . .it has taken a while for him to stop hiding so much.  

He's been in his cave or inside the chaise lounge that came with us for most of the first week, he still gets jumpy when the upstairs people stomp around, and he growls at the window every time I open the blinds whether there is anyone out there or not. 😅  

The good news is I have made great progress on both finding a house and reassuring and settling the baby.  

I am hopeful that everything goes smoothly, and we will soon be moving into our new house.  Fingers crossed I may be only 6 weeks from having my workspace back. 😇

Weekly update. . . it's time

Ok so 2 things; I'm writing this on a Saturday instead of a Sunday because it's my last weekend in Georgia, and there may not be one of these posts next weekend because we'll be on the road. 

Multiple rooms are empty and even clean already. My husband keeps telling me I don't have to clean because the property manager has a cleaning crew, but I figure if it's already clean then they don't get to charge me a bunch of money for hours of "cleaning". 😉

Plus, I get to set the acceptable standard for what counts as clean going forward, and use the proper stuff on my wood floors because that's not modern laminate crap that is original 70+ year old real wood. 

Although, the property manager did caution us, ok outright told us to stop "loving" the house because renters are likely to abuse it and cause damage intentionally or unintentionally and it may be years before we get back here.  But it's hard because I really do like this house, it has been very comfortable and comforting, the property hugs you and shields you and the wildlife is engaging and entertaining and I am going to miss it. It is a great home I hope whoever rents it enjoys it, and I really hope to make it back here someday. 😇  

We are in the final stage and the logistics get complicated here because we are literally moving a 3-ring circus, people don't always understand what I mean by that but aside from "us"(people) there are 3 other rings of life, cats, fish and plants all of which have their own travel needs, some of which conflict. 😏 Fish and plants are better off with a straight thru quick as possible trip, but cats don't like that, and humans need sleep, so. . . wish us luck and pray for the fishes.
