Well, I'm finally in the new place, and man, is it empty! I mean, there are a lot of boxes stacked up in the spare room, but all I have right now is the futon (my current bed), a nightstand for my clock, a cheap, wobbly old book case (which is still in decent shape, just cheap), a small, high-top kitchen table w/only two chairs (which currently is serving as my computer desk and resides in the living room), and my dad's old retro armchair, which also sits in the living room. Oh, and I have a tiny little mini-fridge that's sitting on a couple of saw-horses in the non-existent kitchen.
My coffee machine is sitting in the spare room on top of a box of stuff, along with the filters, sweetener, etc. and the microwave sits right next to it, on the floor. Yes - on the floor - I have no other table space. I really want to go out & buy some new furniture, but I have to focus on getting a furnace installed within the next month or two, before the weather starts heading towards cold, and that's going to run me several thousand dollars, I fear (unless I can find a good deal on a gently-used furnace). My realtor said he knows a guy who works in that field who might be able to find a good deal for me, so I'm waiting to hear about that.
Oh, I also need to have rain gutters installed, as parts of the basement flood every time we have a heavy rain. The stuff I've taken down there, even recently, is starting to grow mold, even though I had the widnows open for a month. I had to break down & start running the dehumidifier more often (I've been trying to avoid that, as it's a bit pricey to run, but it's better than everything getting green & fuzzy!).
Regardless, I'm feeling much better about things now, being out of that old hell-hole. I've gone out a few times this week (and unfortunately drank a bit more than I wanted), but on the plus side, I've gotten a lot of flirting in, which I'll get into in another journal entry.
Gotta get back to work now... ugh.
