Jerry-rigged & The Pup and The Fish


Tomorrow is our final day here in good old Anderson. I expect it to feel like it takes 2 weeks instead, lots of tearful goodbyes, and a load being removed from my shoulders as well. Here's to a good last day!

Countdown

2 Days!!

I got all my room decorations, closet, and bathroom items packed up. Mowed the lawn one final time (Stepped in Indy's landmines as well...), took the trash to the curb one final time, and got my laundry done in my scary basement one final time as well. The third one is something I celebrated at *shudder*.

Tomorrow, I collect my pantry foods, the rest of the clothes, and my office supplies. The last of my homework is to be done Wednesday night ahead of any deadlines since my printer will be packed up.

Yay!!!!

Comfort Level Redefined

You know you're comfortable in your house when you're cooking a meal and it gets too hot to be wearing a t-shirt and you strip it off on your way to your room. Then you get changed with the windows open while there's a church service going on in the parking lot behind your house.

Good thing I'm moving to the country and living with other humans. I'll have to start wearing clothes around and shutting the door when I go to the bathroom. That and I won't have a dog as my only conversation partner.

Busy Day

Today was a little crazy. I had class of course but after that I was off from work. So I decided to accomplish everything I had on my list of To Do things before I moved.

1) Ran errands (groceries to last a week, a new toy for Indy since he chewed through his old one and cow hooves so I don't have to play with him sometimes. I'm a great mom.)

2) Came home and cleaned my bathroom from floor to ceiling. This is my final serious clean of that room. I will clean it briefly before leaving next week.

3) Cleaned my room and hallway, vacuumed everything, organized my belongings. I need to stop throwing my clothes in a pile at the end of the day but as I write this I literally restarted that pile about 15 minutes ago.

4) My housemate officially moved out so Indy and I are alone. I cleaned EVERYTHING!! The kitchen, dining room, living room, even the terrifying basement. It's all scrubbed and sparkling clean and prepared for a moveout.

5) Indy and I took two walks today. On our second one, we saw another German Shepherd. Indy was brave and tough and looked about 4,000,000,000x's more handsome than it too. I love long-haired shepherds.

6) Ran out for dinner because I was getting cabin fever. Had my last Deluxe Donuts before leaving town :(

7) Cleaned the yard and relaxed on the porch before the storm hit.

8) Chatted with the neighbor about yard work, school work, and life in general.

9) Crashed...I'm pooped. Indy is pooped. He also peed on the floor today for the first time in nearly 4ish weeks. I blame myself because we were playing fetch and he got too excited after not going out for a while. He's such a baby sometimes. I have only a week left in town. I'm prepared for crying/celebrating.

Also, I began writing again today after 10 months away from it. I promptly gave up because I had no idea what I was saying.

I also forgot to study for a quiz tomorrow for class. Looks like I'll be using one of those drop quiz cards my prof offers!

Indy

Today I realized that my dog is tall enough so I don't have to bend over to pet him. I also realized that his collar finally fits him. I can no longer pull it off over his head. He's getting so big! My little baby is no longer little. He's a mean, lean, fighting machine who cries and feels guilty each time he accidentally hurts me. He's a big boy, not a baby anymore :)

I need to upload more photos of him. It's been far too long since he's suffered through a photo shoot with me.

Thoughts On Moving

1) You mean I'll be living with 'adults' who can boss me around? 4.5 years without this and it begins again?

2) I have to close the door when I go to the bathroom? But I never had to do this while living on my own this summer :(

3) My dog can't sleep in my room with me...He sleeps within arm's reach...Not anymore?

4) I actually have to do my dishes in a timely manner?

5) My WONDERFUL bed can't come with me? SOB!!!

Yes, I am in panic mode...
