Moving Essentials: Boxes, Clutter, Upset Cat

The next two/three weeks are dedicated to two/three things:

1. Moving;
2. Band gigs; and
3. Moving.

Sigh.

As excited as I am to start this next chapter of my life, moving is incredibly annoying. I wish it would just happen magically. Viola! All of my things are there. *waves home made magic wand around* This is upsetting. Anyway, other than that whole part of it (the never-exciting-thing-about-moving part), I am very excited!

I’m moving in with my Ferg and his room mates! This is going to be an interesting and fun next step for our relationship as well as a great opportunity to learn to live with one another and save money for our plans to move out to Vancouver in ten months or so. I am really looking forward to all of it. My cat is unaware that he is being relocated, so he’ll be even more pissed than he is with his current surroundings changing, but he’ll get over it eventually.

Telling my landlady and our parents of our decision was probably the the only stressful part for me (Ferg was far more calm about it than I was). I thought at least one parental unit was going to flip out, but none came remotely close. They’re very excited for us. I am floored by this and I am definitely not complaining. The fact that they are excited and wish us the best with our decision to move in with each other has assisted with my feeling totally confident with the whole thing. Parents usually know best. They know when we’re about to make a bad decision, and if they usually aren’t afraid to voice it. The fact that neither of us experienced that reassures me that we’re making the right one. It’s not that I need my father’s approval for anything, it’s just that this was an important decision for me and it’s something I really want to move ahead with. So knowing that he’s as gung-ho about it as I am is really quite relieving. I am also excited by the fact that my current landlady and I will be staying in touch. I cried when I told her. I really love the place I’m in now, but it doesn’t feel like home anymore. It’s time for me to move on. I’ve known that for a while.

So, with that all said, I will be all moved in as of September 1st, if not sooner. Juggling packing/moving with band practice and gigs is going to be stressful for me seeing as my nerves are going to be completely shot for the next three weeks, but it will be done!

Also, Ghost Factory plays at Vern’s on Wednesday evening for you Calgary folk who read my site, and The Cock vs. Berzerker A.D. w/ Black Earth are performing at Tubby Dog on Thursday evening. Now, I’m peacing out. So, peace out.
