Yes, I'm glad you made it, too. This move took guts. Remember you got people here, Mindy.

[Meen]

Well, I ended up just renting a room from someone b/c yes, it is very expensive here. It's in Kew Gardens:

which seems to be a cool neighborhood. Not at all scary, though I am still filled with anxiety and probably will be a for a few months until I get settled. And pics will be coming as soon as I get a battery for my camera!

[Meen]

Hmmm, looking at that wiki, and my zip code is actually 11418, which comes up Richmond Hill, but my landlord says this is Kew Gardens. Who knows? (Maybe Gus?)

I'm so happy Mindy is back.

[Meen]

Yay, I'm glad to be back again, and I'm SO happy the moving experience is OVER. That might've been (and still continues to be with the being in a new place SOOO different and SOOO far from the old place) the most stressful experience of my life since I left the biker and got sober.

I had the strangest day yesterday:

- My a/c started leaking condensation, and flooded the carpet in my living room and bedroom. I had to move my furniture out of the way... a bookshelf collapsed so now I have a huge stack of books on my large couch and they have no home.

- About the time I discovered the leaking (which I initially thought was coming from the water spigot outside my place), I heard some gurgling coming from my sink. It was flooding with water. I ended up throwing no less than 20 large pans full of water down into my toilet and flushing it to keep my kitchen sink from flooding my place, also.

- The maintenance guy said he'd be over as soon as he was done bringing his kid some lunch that he was on the way to pick up. He lives 30 minutes from my place. I had to wait for him for 45 minutes (thus the large pans of water being thrown out).

- I took my dog over to a friend's house yesterday morning (before the leak incidents) so he could play with said friends' dogs in the backyard. Robby must've gotten into a nest of fleas or something because I pulled no less than 50 off him yesterday. As soon as I saw one (while we were still at the friend's home), I took him home and bathed him thoroughly. I'm taking him to the vet today as soon as I'm able.

- I had trouble sleeping because there were two carpet blowers running all night (in the living room and in my bedroom) and because I kept itching even though there was nothing to make me itch.

I've discovered I loathe water leaks and fleas with a passion.

Wow Heidi sorry to hear about your day. Here's hoping that the rest of your week is the polar opposite of yesterday.

[RandomAnthony]

You gotta move. That place blows.

[Heidi]

Actually, I am moving. I'm moving at the end of September. I'm ambivalent about it already, though... I'll be living with a roommate again. I'd like to save money so I can buy a house and right now, with rent going up each year, I'm not on track to do that. I KNOW I'm going to miss my privacy/personal space but I keep reminding myself that it's a necessary sacrifice. Fortunately, new roommate's a neat freak, doesn't watch television, and is also a v. private person... all like me.

[Sally, la reina]

It'll be so worth it when you buy your own house. Congratulations on that huge life step, friend!

[Heidi]

I suspect this upheaval (that hasn't happened yet) has everything to do with why I've been extra grumpy lately. I'm completely resistant to having another person living in my space.

[[deleted user]]

Practiced patience Heidi, remembering the end will be worth it.

[Heidi]

Yeah, well... I'll probably be grumpier than usual over the next month or so until I'm absolutely settled into the new digs... and then grumpy will likely be taken to a whole new level.

[Sally, la reina]

*shivers ominously*

[Heidi]

I just want someone to hold me and make it all better. :( Mommy?

[Meen]

Would biting RA's nose help?

:)

I'm adjusting to having a roommate again, too. He's very nice, but I'm mostly staying in my room. It's a bit of a different vibe, though, I imagine, since he's also the landlord.

[[deleted user]]

I'll offer up RA's nose too if it saves mine.

[Bec]

Hi everyone! I am a newbie and loving this chat!! :)

Cosmic Cher....keep us posted! We will be in San Juan for a Personal Development conference in October so it would be cool to catch up!! We live in Western Australia on the coast currently :)

[Félix]

Welcome Bec. Hope you have a good time here.

[Bec]

Thanks Larry :) You all sound like my sort of people so am sure I will enjoy!!

[Félix]

Once you get to know us, we'll expect you to fly us all to Australia for a visit.

Wait ... don't go, Bec ....

[Knarik]

Yes, stay... (Jim, maybe she is one of Caspers!)
Hope you will be able to buy a house soon, Heidi.

[Meen]

Welcome Bec!

[Bec]

Thank you Mindy!

[[deleted user]]

Welcome to TC Bec, you have already done the hardest part which was your first post, the rest is easy.

[RandomAnthony]

Damn. Everyone's offering my nose up? Fine. FINE. But you have to pay for a new one. And it has to be just like Ashley Tisdale's new nose.

Welcome to TC, Bec.

Right now I'm in my arctic office...my God, I love the air conditioning in here...

[Heidi]

RA, your nose is safe (for now).

[Knarik]

she is trying to turn your attention from your nose, and then....

[Félix]

Now, Knarik. We can trust Heidi. Can't we?

[Knarik]

We can, but not RA!

[Félix]

mmmmmmmm ... you could right.

[Félix]

Right now I'm taking a breather after catching up on the new comments on TC. *slumps in chair*

[Meen]

It's a bitch after being away even for a few hours, huh?

[Félix]

It's one of those. Yeah. The b word.

[[deleted user]]

Some times you even have to skip some or you may never catch up.

[Félix]

Jim! Don't say things like that!

[[deleted user]]

Oh geez, did I say that out loud?

[Sally, la reina]

Sometimes our fingers do get away from us, don't they Jim.


*scoot scoot*

[[deleted user]]

Fingers and mouth for me Sally

[Félix]

heh

[Félix]

The only thread left with red on it for me is Baseball.

[[deleted user]]

I'm all caught up right now.

[Félix]

Baseball, too?

[[deleted user]]

Yuppers

[Knarik]

It is baseball for me, too and also the talk about weather and Pigs fly.

[Félix]

Good choices, K.

[Nuri]

Perseids = good show! It was like stepping into exactly one year ago. What a strange feeling; what a wonderful time. : )

[Heidi]

OMG PEOPLE!!! It's FRIDAY! I can honestly say in my whole life, I've never been happier that it's Friday than I am right now... at this moment.

Awesome.
