Should I Stay or Should I Go?

March 21, 2009 – 19:13

So, I’m starting to get settled in here, slowly moving my things up, and slowly cleaning as I go. I had some small bursts have satisfied happiness. I had space, I had sunshine, and I had features that I’ve always wanted. Spot is still a bit confused, but he’s coping. He’s still waiting for another cat to come hissing around the corner, I think. He’s starting to spend a bit more time upstairs with me now though … and wonderful sign … he’s starting to bring up his toys. I found an old ponytail by his food dish, and a packaging strap halfway up the stairs. Spot is moving in.

But this may have all been a tease. Mom arrived at the promised property to find out that it’s “a dump!” That’s how she described it. I asked if it was salvage-able (just dirty and fixable, or a complete shack.) but she was in too much shock to answer, I think. She kept going on about how she had been deceived, and how she couldn’t believe that the landlord let them come ahead, even though he knew the place wasn’t ready. Good thing Albert wasn’t supposed to come out for another couple weeks. She also noticed that the yard had great promise. Michael called me to get some information, but when I asked him the same questions, he said he’d let me know in a bit.

Mom had suggested that I move out there too, and go into a landscaping business with her. The idea has merit, but I’m not ready to leave everything behind just yet. For one thing, Jade would never agree to come with me. At least, I’m pretty sure that he wouldn’t. If it ever came down to it, then I would ask him … maybe he’d like to be part of the Landscaping Company too. Think of all the fantastic features he could create with his skills!! (I’d better stop … I’m starting to like this idea.)

So, I’m just waiting to see what’s going on now … are they coming back? Do I get to keep my sunlight? What happens to the student boarder if I have to move back into the suite? I’m afraid to move any more items upstairs … what if I have to put it all back? Bad enough that I’ll have to take my computer back down so that I can use the internet connection!! (Stupid wireless!!)

Damn … it all sounded so good! Too good, maybe, to be true??

Sweet Dreams!
