Walked out of my old apartment for the last time at 5:34am this morning. It was a little sad in a way. Then again, one must get rid of "the Old" in order to experience "the New" sometimes. I went back & turned the keys in to the office and drove away at 9:37am. A chapter of my life has ended.
Went back to the new place & thought about unloading boxes - Decided to go back to sleep instead...
Yesterday was loads of fun. I was over at the old place around 5:30am. The Ex showed up around 7:15am to get the rest of her stuff out. My brother (THANK YOU, BILL!!!) arrived soon after that. We spent the entire day moving boxes. I finally dropped my brother off at home around 9:30pm that night. I was a combination of tired & wired by the time all was said & done. My cat was barely speaking to me - aside from hissing & growling at me for, once again, disrupting her world and letting strange humans into her abode. She forgave me by the time the sun came up this morning & took a morning nap with me curled up by my feet in a fuzzy ball.
Right now, my mind is going in many directions - I have mountains of stuff to find a place for, the parents are getting their house fixed, due to a water leak that got into the walls (Ozzy may know a little something about how fun that situation is!!) & I am expected to assist them with things. I have to somehow make some room for the couches at my place by sometime Monday, which CAN be done... SOOOOO many things - What to do first??
I don't have any scheduled OT at work for the forseeable future, which is good in a way - More time to try & get my place in order.
Anyway, I have survived the ordeal so far & count it as a positive accomplishment.
More as it happens.....

8:45PM
The doctor that had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the young doctor was looking through these, his eyes grew wide as he realized she had a prescription for birth control pills. "Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?" "Yes, they help me to sleep at night." "Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that could possibly help you sleep!" She reached out and patted the young Doctor's knee.."Yes, dear, I know that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16 year old granddaughter drinks............And believe me, it helps me sleep at night.
"You gotta love Grandmas!"
10:09PM
An 80 year old couple were having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor to get checked out to make sure nothing was wrong with them. When they arrived at the doctors, they explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple out, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might want to start writing things down and make notes to help them remember things. The couple thanked the doctor and left. Later that night while watching TV, the man got up from his chair and his wife asked, "Where are you going?" He replied, "To the kitchen." She asked, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" He replied, "Sure." She then asked him, "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" He said, "No, I can remember that." She then said, "Well I would also like some strawberries on top. You had better write that down because I know you'll forget that." He said, "I can remember that, you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." She replied, "Well I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you better write it down." With irritation in his voice, he said, "I don't need to write that down! I can remember that." He then fumes into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She stared at the plate for a moment and said angrily: "I TOLD you to write it down! You forgot my toast!"

Your Score: Coke
You scored 160Goodness!
You are Coke! Unlike that tin boyscout Pepsi, you're a badass. Your the Batman of the soda world. Everyone wants you, or wants to be you, and everyone expects you to lay the smackdown on someone when the situation calls for it. You may not be as heroic as Pepsi, but you are still very moral for a soft drink. You might be willing to sacrifice a life or two (providing it's not someone you know and love), and you might also be willing to break a rule or two (or twelve)--but when it comes down to the end game, you do it all for the greater good. That has to be the reason why every restaurant wants to serve you, and only you.
