A New Life Begins

We're up at our new house now. We spent the night last night at our old house, but the mattress was right on the floor due to the bed being in storage. We got almost everything done last night, and I was up till 11:30!!

I took one last bath, using up the little bit of powdered milk that was left. And we came up today.

The cats rode up with me. Foxy in his own carrier, Atton and Boney together in another. They cried and cried the whole way up. Foxy overheated and was panting so I turned the fan on high for him and it really helped. Just as we were getting almost here one of them messed themselves which made them all cry even more, but I was going slow enough that I was able to open my window all the way and let it air out, which helped.

They weren't too upset about being in the camper. They explored, I poured them some water. After a few hours we let them outside to explore. Boney was happy and bouncy and running everywhere, but he definitively knows where home is, last I knew he was on the bed cleaning himself. Atton was a little slower to go outside, he was kinda traumatized and sat in one of the kitty beds for a while, but he, too, went out and explored a bit. Foxy hid under one of the seats and wouldn't leave the camper. He did go out for a little bit, but only in the area directly surrounding the camper.

I made the bed right away because I knew that tonight I wouldn't feel like it. Otherwise it's going to be a day or two before we're situated. Which is okay because we have nowhere to go so our cars (especially mine) can sit with stuff in them for a while.

Yesterday at work I spent a while training Dustin and I dunno, he might do ok, but I think he'll struggle a bit. I left Bonnie my email address and if he needs help he can ask her to email me.

At about 1:00 Julie called me and told me to come to the breakroom. I thought, "Ah, great, a going away party". Indeed. There was cake and they gave me a card they had everyone sign. I do like having the card, and the cake was very delicious. I just didn't like everyone paying that kind of attention solely to me. But they were nice about it, it was Julie, Deana, Dee, Bonnie, and Dustin. The cake had "Good luck Barb" written on it. I don't think the frosting was normal frosting, normally I don't like the frosting cakes here have, but this stuff was really good.

btw, Haunted Woods stomped Darigon Citadel and this amuses me greatly cause everyone was going on about how DC was awesome, DC must be full of cheaters, and we stomped them harder than any other team has this entire AC.  Not that I helped much, I got in maybe 4 games of Shootout Showdown and 2 Make Some Noise. The keyboard on my netbook is awful for Make Some Noise, it won't get me over 1,000 and you need 3,000 for a qualifying score to boost your rank! So I have my normal one plugged in. I prefer it anyway cause from work I'm used to using the normal num pad off to the right (10-key I think it's called? Anyway, I'm super fast at it, Brittany was saying that the other day, that I power type on it, course I kinda do that anyway with an average of about 72-74 WPM), and the keyboard on a laptop is always sooo small.

Speaking of Brittany, I did offer her the advice I said I would, I told her do what's best for her and don't worry about anyone else, that she'll get out or move up.
