Ahem. WOOT!

OPERATION: Get the Fsck out of Harundale is now green-lighted.

Many many thanks to C, who after consideration and (much less than I expected) questions, agreed to bankroll said Operation. It will put an end to the financial hemorrhage that's been slowly sucking the life out of both Megan -and- I for nearly four years. So what's going to be happening? Ah, glad you asked.
  1. Sit down in the office for the GreenTree Apartment complex, and begin paperwork to lock down a two bedroom with den apartment.
  2. Sit down with Mr Carignan and start the paperwork for bankruptcy proceedings... and get final numbers for move-in costs.
  3. Do a strafing run on WalMart for Rubbermaid totes, and start washing and packing up as much of the clothing/bed linens/towels as can be packed away.
  4. Take a brief two day excursion to NJ, set up the father-in-law's computer, and then retreat to a quiet corner and read. Considering I'm usually ignored, this is an ideal recharge method.
  5. Finalize papers with GreenTree, get keys, worship C a bit more, and commence packing things.
  6. Draft several volunteers (several of which don't know it's coming) and do a big push to get all the -big- stuff out of here and into the apartment.
  7. Get all the remainder stuff out of the main body of the house.
  8. To prevent stirring up an invasion of insect life, pick up some bug foggers and bomb the entire house.
  9. Dig out my boots, buy heavy rubber gloves and facemasks, and start ripping through what's in the addition. I'm expecting fully 50% of the things out there will be on the 'destroyed' list. Pack what survived into totes.
  10. Leave any and all trash/debris/destroyed materials here. 's not my problem anymore. Destroy anything with personal information, leave the rest.
  11. Cheerily flip off the prissy biker dude that lives behind us and walk away... leaving the lawn unmowed to drive his neurotic arse utterly insane.
  12. Begin attempting to rebuild my life. This includes 'trivial' things like hormones, sanity, and trying to start paying C back.

In other news:
  • Megan was told today she has the job she interviewed for this past Monday. She starts this coming Monday, working nights until she's trained.
  • There was much entertaining geeking with K tonight. I worry that his job's going to implode around him, but I can't fault him for hanging on. He's not likely to flame out like I did, thankfully.
  • In a month or so, I'll actually have tiny bits of money that're really and truly mine. I can't even begin to describe how much I'm looking forward to that.
  • I'm so damned happy right now that it's hard to sit still. :p
  • It's actually not raining. :)


And I think that's it. Right? Yes. :)

*Hug!*

Congratulations girl! I'm happy for you! It always feels good when you can finally start putting money away or even just having a little extra.
And of course, there's the thing I miss most about apartment living. If something happens, it's their problem, and you can call the super and have them take care of it! Loverly!

READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STREADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO

Sceneries being blown away seem to whirl in front of me
Even if I get desperate, I won't overlook my target anymore

An unreliable map should be burnt
I'll grasp onto the buried truth with my hands

I came running frantically -hastily-
The throb of my heartbeats feels deafening enough to burst
Your voice is echoing -shouting-
There's no time to be like standing still here
READY STEADY GO

Even if my countless wounds get hugged
For a moment and gently, I won't let my soul get taken
On the other side of that hill, if I met you
I'd only think about where to start talking from

I came running frantically -hastily-
The throb of my heartbeats feels deafening enough to burst
Your voice is echoing -shouting-
There's no time to be like standing still here
READY STEADY GO

READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STREADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO

My heart -runs- underneath that sky
I can't stop my idle feelings from crying out
Surely I'll -reach- you in a little while
The sunlight shines hotly across this path
READY STEADY GO
PLEASE. TRUST ME.


-Translation of 'Ready Steady Go' from L'arc En Ciel.

Congratulations! That's just totally and completely awesome that things are coming to fruition. :)

WHOOTS!!

Hey, when's this going to be? Jon can likely help and get some of the guys to help moving. I just have guests until this thursday, and then Jon works that weekend.

Let me know when...

While it's highly unlikely I'll be able to make it Up There™ from Down Here™, there is a possibility it could happen. Maybe. Or maybe not, depending on how much notice I get and what flights to B-more or National look like.

I'm so glad to read this! Now, hopefully, you'll have less stress, at least about some thing; and any time you have -less- of stress is a -good- thing, take it from me.

I'll be thinking of you and hoping that all works out well for you.

I couldn't live without Rubbermaid totes.
Good luck with the move and everything. <3

WOW!

This SO VERY rocks!!!!!

I'm glad you're getting out of the Soul Sucking Fiend and into an apartment! Things are coming together for you, sweetie, and it's about time! I'm happy to see that the Fates are sending you some Good Stuff (tm) for a change.

Like my boy said, let us know when. Probably can't send him up there, but it's a possibility depending on the timing. He's good at furniture moving. :)

*HUG*

Congrats!

I'm so glad to hear this, Ellie. You deserve things to pick up.

*grins* And hopefully we'll be able to visit the new digs someday. :o)

E-chan plans! Lock-In!

No, seriously. It's great to hear that your plans and such are falling into place like a well-played game of Tetris where you need two of the line pieces to rack up the highest score EVAR and you get 'em.

Gimme a shout with the new address when you get it so I can send The Terrible Toy along.
