Movin' On Up!

“The castle lights are growing dim. There’s no one left, but me … and him.”
~ Vincent Price; House of Frightenstein

Yesterday was not the best of days. Work had that funny feeling of tension … tension that didn’t let up, right until the end … which came forty-five minutes before closing time. I was laid off … apparently, I didn’t support the team enough. There was a catalyst, but it was still an excuse to let me go. I was not allowed to explain my side of what happened. I wasn’t allowed to defend myself at all. I was told that ‘… we’ve talked about this before.’ Yeah … during my first week of work, when I was trying to train myself. And I don’t think that had anything to do with this. Nobody had said anything since then either, so making it sound like an ongoing problem is just bogus.

So I came home … and spent my last evening together with my mother. I bought pizza … we chatted. I debated telling her that I lost my job the day before her big move. I didn’t want her to feel guilty about going. I spilled it eventually though. I needed to get it out. And she did feel guilty … but she knows I’ll make it work. She asked if Jade was going to help support me, and I told her that he’d help out if he had to. Whether he will or not, I admit that I’m not sure, but I’d like to believe that he’ll be there for me if I really need him.

We were up bright and early this morning. There was lots of hugging … and I almost cried, but managed to keep the tears in my eyes. I saw them all out the door, and watched as they left down the street. Then I locked the door, and began to clean. I don’t have that much moved up yet though … I’m trying to bring up only the needed items right away … like places to sit for my starter party tomorrow. That seems important, yeah? Besides, there’s only so much that a girl can do by herself!

Spot is still in a bit of shock. After about three weeks of wanting out of the suite, he has the whole house to run around in … and where is he? Down in the suite, whining that I’m not down there too. *shakes head * He’ll figure it out though … eventually. He’s a smart boy.

So, here I am … computer up and running (with a brand new all-in-one) ready to get some work done … and I have no internet. I bought a phone because I have a landline now. I plugged it in and checked it. I had a dial tone. I even called it from my cell to make sure that it was my number … yup. So why no internet? First, I thought that it was because there was no phone jack in the office. Which baffled me because my parents had internet in here and I don’t remember a long cord anywhere. I called my Dad at the hospital, and asked what the secret was. Turns out that they were wireless. Well, dad-gum! How much is this going to cost me to switch over, or to switch back?? I can’t afford all that now! *sigh! *

For those who are wondering, my Dad is supposed to be out of the hospital on Monday. Cross your fingers that he not only gets out, but that he is ready to leave!

I’m going to watch TV now … my cat and I need some time together and I need a bit of a break!

Sweet Dreams!
