Oh my goodness, you're right! I haven't updated how things are! LOL...
Well, we're all moved in and things are mostly put away. They're put away for us, mostly put away for the others in the household. I've worked long and hard to put together the kitchen, and have claimed it as my favorite area of the household. My FIL has officially deemed it my kitchen, and has let everyone know that because I took all the time to unpack things for it, it's now my room.
Mr. Grumpy Chef has been slightly aggressive since moving here, but it's much easier to handle, because I can just come downstairs to our "cave" and let it roll off my back. We've got the computer and TV set up down here, so we don't have to really leave unless we're hungry. We're enjoying that.
Things are much better with my FIL. Each having our own space has really gone a long way to handle anything that'd bothered us before. We've had a couple disagreements, but handled them with ease, so it's okay.
Right now, we're working hard (or I should say, Danny's working hard) to get the money to get the various things we need to be able to rebuild the bunnies' cages.
I've moved Maisie into the biggest carrier (she was starting to get stressed, so I figured she could use the space...it's a carrier that you could fit a med/lg dog into) and Fiver has the next size down, as he's our biggest bun. They're doing really well, though.
Teddy's become rather adventurous...he's out his door the second I open it to feed him, and I let him wander around (following to be sure he doesn't get near wires or anything that could harm him). He's really enjoying his little jaunts.
Let's see...what else...
Em and I haven't yet explored the parks in the area...we've been enjoying our place so much, and she's been really happy to have a backyard to play in.
But, we anticipate doing so in probably the next week (or the following one, since it's supposed to get quite warm this week).
Danny's been working really hard. He gets up at about 4am everyday, doing temporary labor work for various companies (through a temporary work agency). It stresses him to not be doing electrical work, but he's also happy to be able to provide for us. Something nice...for the first time, we've figured out how to make him a workday lunch, so I've been really enjoying providing that for him everyday. He loves it, too, because he gets a little special thing from me everyday.
I've been loving the kitchen and how much bigger it is...plus the fact that it's open to the dining area, so I can talk to my FIL while I'm cooking, and Em can come up and sit at the table with him. We're all nice and chilled out, much less stressed than we were all cramped in that apartment. So we're really enjoying getting to know one another (my FIL, Em, and me).
The kitties are SO HAPPY, too! I swear all I hear from them is purring anymore. Sunny has really been thanking me A LOT for being here...purrs and rubbing on my legs and arms CONSTANTLY. It's so cute!! And it's SO NICE to see them so happy!!
So, things are getting better...one day at a time. Add to the mix the fact that we learned that Danny's technically a first year apprentice now, which means he can get a job as something other than a "starter" and make more money...and we're doing really great!!!
Hugs to all!
