beansideAnd somehow, we're back to Monday. I woke up super early for no reason. I can't even blame the cat. Though she certainly reaped the rewards of early breakfast. I'm sure we're going to be super busy today, so I'm definitely going to need all my coffee.
Yesterday was both fairly busy, yet chill. We went to the gas station to put more air in the tires, and then to the storage unit to drop off some boxes. Then it was off to the pharmacy. Then, I took my sister to the laundromat, marveling that I had a set number of times that I had to do that in. (14 for exact.) I did also stop at the new apartment and verify that we're in a front unit, so we will add some canvas to the apartment wish list, so that we can put it along the front of the balcony, blocking some of the visual stimulus for Yoda.
We also decided to use one of his cutest pictures and print out a nice little note for our neighbors. "Hi! I'm Yoda, your newest neighbor. I'm an 8 year old Bichon/Shizhu mix. My first 8 years were spent in a house, where I provided care for my elderly grandfather. An apartment is going to be an adjustment for me. I'll try my best to be a good quiet boy, but if I slip, I hope you'll forgive me. I'm going to do my best to become the best apartment dog ever! Thank you for your patience and kindness while I'm learning" Attached will be a $20 gift card to Target. Bribery? Yes, 100%.
He's actually been a bit quieter since Dad has been gone. I guess it's less stress in the house?
Last night, we were talking about the things we want to cook in the new place. The stove is so old that the gas company refused to connect it or the oven when we finaly got gas restored. (Honestly, I didn't care, I just wanted the heat and hot water.) So we've been making do with a countertop oven, and a slow cooker. No burners. So we've not had pasta in forever or soups. And while we do have an electric skillet, It's a giant pain in the ass, so we hardly use it, so no pancakes.
Since Dad died, it's been a bit of a shock how much energy caretaking him required. Now we have surplus energy, and Jess is all about being a house enby. (Creditpoisontaster ) They want to cook good, nutritious meals and clean and all sorts of shit. So around 5, they abruptly realized that the library may have cookbooks! I also started looking at Kindle Unlimited and found a few recipes that I liked. It's very exciting!
Okay, time to consider getting my ass together for work. Everyone have a wonderful Monday!
