Zee Reads

I was informed today by His Majesty that he knows his twin has a girlfriend. He then informed me he doesn’t need one because he has me.

Which made me wibble.

(Actually, one of my little ones points to the two POP!figures on my shelf and says – the one, that’s your future husband (that would be correct) and the other one, that’s you.

I’m not an elf, but thank you. 

Oh, btw, please keep me in your positive thoughts, This month will be excruciating, between a big observation, progress reports, THE MOVE, Thanksgiving, Spawn’s bday… and then today I was pretty much ordered to do something by the powers that be, that sticks in my craw for many reasons.

I take that back. It doesn’t stick in my craw, it’s just… I don’t think it’s my place to do this (not beneath me or not part of my job description, it’s just… uncomfortable for me to have them put me in this position. I’m supposed to be the low man on the totem pole, NOT head of the department.)

But it’s Friday, it’s payday, I have a LOT of things to do. I’m probably going to head down to the storage unit and start bringing up boxes. Wondering if I can put them in the garage at the house, since it seems to be unlocked…

ANYWAY!

It is that time of the month – no, it’s not my period! – for Zee Reads.

And it has been an abysmal month for reading.

National Cat Day

Funny. In my house, every day is cat day.

So happy that in a few weeks, these two darlings will be in their new permanent (well, it’s a rental so it’s not PERMANENT but it will be long term) home where they will have access to every room in the house – except my bedroom.  (Because Lord Thunderbutt likes to take the catnip mouse up inside my boxsprings, get kitty stoned and sing all night long.)

DIGITAL CAMERA

Richard???

Okay, that interview???? Naughty Naughty!!!! Or I should say…. JAW DROP!!!!!

(considering the amount of hair on the chest and head and arms… yeah, it’s hairy.)

In other news… POP!Thorout has a girlfriend…

I haven’t told His Majesty, yet….

Spent Saturday

In the storage unit packing the stacked books on the bookshelves.

Stirring up dust. breathing it.

You know what that means…

It is finished

Sorta.

Security deposit is turned in. Official move in is Friday, November 13th. Yeah. I know.

Tentative truck move November 25th – the day before Thanksgiving. I have to come up with a full month’s rent on the 13th and they’ll prorate my partial November for the month of December. Meaning I have to come up with full month, deposits for electricity, water, trash, etc by the 13th and then half, plus 60.00 16 days after that. Oh. And internet.

and food and insurance and gas…

Internet might have to wait until December. I’m not going to think about cable. At all.

POP!Thorout is begging to come home. He can’t tolerate the noise anymore. I’ll probably give in. He and POP!Thorin will have to stay in opposite ends of the house.

Newer pictures behind the cut – including the FULL front on of the house. I didn’t take pictures of the garage, but it’s full concrete floor and 2 car huge.

Funding is set.

By this time tomorrow, all the funds will be in and out of my hands and into the realtor’s pockets. Planned move date is the weekend of November 15th. Spawn will come down the following week to stay for 10 days and we’ll move and get furniture set up.

I’m so excited… and scared to death. In 3 weeks, THIS is home.

Why

Do people post pointless rants and then act all butt hurt when the general consensus of the forum is ‘your rant is pointless’?

Note: No, I didn’t post the pointless rant. When I post a pointless rant, I acknowledge it is a pointless rant. My rant about The Crucible, Digital Theatre and the panty wipe who is producing The Crucible in NYC where 99.9% of us who would have seen it in the theater can’t see it on stage, is pointless. I know that. 

*coughs*

Got the house.

Need to procure the first month’s rent/security deposit in 48 hours.

Well on one hand

The owner agreed to come down a bit (not as much as I hoped but halfway) on the rent and waive the rather hefty pet deposit… yay…

on the other hand, my car REFUSED to start this morning, (it’s at Toyota and the general consensus is the starter and the price for the starter and install is way high)

and the teacher who came out to get me to give me a ride accidentally ran over my laptop and 3 externals.

No, not the NEW laptop, it’s damaged by not totaled (meaning I can still play games on it, the screen however has a nice line down the side) and the external that took the brunt (meaning I’m hoping the harddrive is okay) was Sir Guy’s original guts – you know, the one with a lot of pictures and knit and ALL of my current writing on it.

A back up of the writing is on THIS harddrive but…

The computer backpack is destroyed. My USB hub is destroyed. the cords to of the external are destroyed. Sir Guy is… the casing is destroyed. I plug it up and the computer acknowledges it’s there, but it won’t open. Praying the harddrive is okay…

If y’all could take a few moments

and say a prayer, send some positive thoughts, light a candle or two…

I have found my home. When I pulled up into the driveway, I KNEW it was MY home. There is room for everything, from my furniture, to my piano (maybe pianos) my books, my bookcases, my music, my albums, my crafty stuff, the computers and all their extra things… RA Shrine… OH! and all of Spawn’s things as well. The kitchen is more than big enough, there is a breakfast nook with a formal dining room, a detached 2 car garage. A family room, a huge living room, a laundry ROOM – not a closet – and 3 bedrooms and Spawn would have his own bathroom.

I start the application process tomorrow and it could be dicey as I’ve not had permanent employment in 5 years. (I have it now and have the contract and the paychecks to prove it.) I’m hoping for a smooth process and hope to know by the end of the week. Planned move is November 15th.

Just… fingers crossed, toes crossed…
