It's good to be home!
In my apartment I be. ^^ And online I be, as well!! Speaking of which, being connected was frighteningly easy. O.o A previous tenant had the fios hardware installed, so all the guy had to do for me was mess a bit with the said hardware in the closet, plug in a router, plug Utena and Tsukushi into said router, change one setting on both comps (flexible IP addy), told me how to connect Usagi via my wireless connection, and that was it. *blink blink* I keep waiting for the axe to fall. *gazes about suspiciously* BTW, I'm really really loving my 20/20 Mbps connection. I'm looking forward to my first big work upload just so I can grin at how fast it will be. XD
I've been online since early Thursday afternoon, but I was so completely exhausted from the drive (2,000 miles in three days alone will do that to anyone) and the stress of OMG moving, not to mention the many trips from my car, Rei-chan, up the stairs to my apartment to unload (I stopped counting at 10) made me a very very tired chibi elf. Z_z I worked a little bit Wed evening, and Thurs before and after the fios guy came. Yesterday was my first day fully devoted to work. My grand total for all 3 days is 11 pages. Hah! At least I did one pink, one orange, and one orange dot in there. :P
I recalculated my work schedules, and the grand total page quota starting today is 17. Wheee! I've had worse, though not by much. My desk is still with the moving company, so Utena and Tsukushi are set up on the floor. It's nice to stretch out and work, but I can't keep it up too long. Sitting up and working is okay, but I have to bend way over to use Doumyouji. (Tsukushi's drawing tablet.) So yesterday I grabbed one of my boxes to place him on as an impromptu mini-desk, and that really helps. ^^
On Wed after I carted everything from Rei-chan indoors, I drove to the local all-in-one supermarket and stocked up on food and necessities. I only let myself buy what I genuinely needed (food staples, kitty supplies, laundry detergent, one ceramic plate and bowl, plastic ware, etc) and still ended up spending $200. O.o I was feeling very overwhelmed as I made my way to the checkout counter, but the woman who rang me up was so friendly and genki that she really helped restore my confidence and own genki-ness. Yay to nice store employees!!!! Of course, then I had 10 more trips to unload my car, but oh well. At least they were genki trips!
Today I went for a walk right after I woke up. This is the first time I've exercised in about 3 weeks, first due to packing and work insanity, then the drive, then feeling wiped out. I only walked, if briskly, for half an hour. I prowled around my corner of the huge apartment complex I"m in (found the elusive garbage dumpsters), then tried out a little of the park that's right next to this place. The air is crisp and clean, and the few people I saw were friendly, even if I had to wave and say "good morning" to them first. :P
Spicer-kitty was traumatized. He spent the first 36 hours in our apartment jammed between the back of the dryer and the wall. He came out from time to time, but for the most part--he stayed hidden. He's slowly coming out more often, and spent about 2 hours total yesterday actually out here in the apartment with me. He still jumps at every loud noise from outside, especially the sounds of people talking, but he's doing better. This will certainly make him a less-uptight kitty, I should think. He's figuring out that noises from outside aren't going to kill him, anyway. :P~~~
I'm still playing catchup on my flist. It seems like when I vanished, all of a sudden you guys exploded with activity and made several huge posts each. WTH, guys??? You only talk when I'm not around????? *blows raspberries at the lot of you*
I guess that's it for today!! Work calls, as always. Time to don the hachimaki and hit it!! XD
