We need some good luck over here!
It’s chaotic for us right now. Sunday night my grandmother fell in her kitchen and wasn’t able to get up, nor was she able to get our attention very quickly since we had the surround sound on and were watching a movie upstairs in Mom’s house. She managed to grab one of the cat’s food bowls and bang it long enough for Mom to go down there and help her out. Then yesterday she ended up being hospitalized because she’s been having shortness of breath and is in a lot of pain. Things were looking bad enough where Eddie and I left work early the whole family ended up crowded into one of the little rooms in the ER unit. She was admitted around suppertime and is still there until they figure out exactly what the problems are. Any and all good vibes sent her way would be appreciated.
This morning we had an appointment to go check out an apartment down in Warwick, in a complex that I lived in for about 7 years. It’s a 1-bedroom place, but it’s nice, quiet, close to Eddie’s work (he could ride in with Mom every day). Pets are ok to have, which makes me squee with delight as well. We filled out the application and put down a deposit, and with any luck we’ll get a phone call telling us we’re all set. At that point we’d be moving in next week sometime, and taping the keys to this place on the door with a note that says we’re gone. Eddie already has already planned out the living room floorplan, since we’ve long since agreed that he can decorate the living room and I’m free to bedeck the bathroom in Hello Kitty things.

[...] We got the place! After Crystal drops me off tomorrow, she has to put an additional deposit down, but by this time next week, we’ll be starting out “midnight” move. Hopefully we’ll be all done, Wednesday, and then we can start packing everything! The reason why we are doing a midnight move is because our landlord is crazy! He’d make our last month a living hell, and even if we hired professional cleaners, we don’t think that we’d get the deposit back, so after we are finished moving, i’m taping the keys to the door.
