I hate moving.. Also fuck this month.

General
Sorry for being quite and all. I do like to update when I can.
So, what can I say, these last few days have been a bummer.
My Grandmother is in the hospital, We lost Vex, my father just got his 3rd (yes, 3rd) DUI, my car is on the fritz, and Lucy(my uncle's golden retriever) has a week to live. While I can assure you, the list of bad things this month is much longer. I figured I would stick to the most important issues.
And not to downplay the importance of any of those events, but to top off I am moving.
I have been in the same house for almost 4 years. and all of those years I had made costumes. I can 't tell you how frustrating it is to get rolling on a project, and realize the one tool you need is ether in a box, in storage, or 6 miles down the road at the old house.
It was something I needed to do. With limited storage at the old place we could not stock huge amounts of materials and fur, and that had come to bite us in the butt when fur is backordered. Space had become such a premium that we had to use 3 or 4 tables for every thing we did. That may sound like a lot of room, but with two people working in a glorified closet.. it's not. Not to mention our landlord was looking to raise the rent again..
I do have to say, this move came at a very bad time. I figured after FWA would be good, so as to have settling time before the AC rush comes. Of course I did not count on everything playing out the way it did. Then again, really, there is never a good time for bad news.
Overall I feel I am taking things in stride. I am working weekends to catch up, and I think after I get out of the old house 100% I will be able to get a grasp on things. I am not in a bad mood. I am optimistic, However, I will be the first to admit that this has not been a good month.
Don't worry about me. there are far more important things to worry about. You don't have to feel sorry for me, or anything like that. I just felt like bitching a little bit. It dose feel good to bitch,

Moving does suck. I know that one real well, I need this tool. Oh that is in storage,or it is at the other house,what box is it in.
Makes you wanna pull your hair out,of give up on what you wanted to do. As you get settled things will calm down. Sends out a Bugs hug to you. And this month is halfway over.
kudos for keeping your chin up
If you ever need a break, just give me a call, I'll buy you a pita or something and we can have a nice meal and chat, hopefully take your mind off things for a little reprieve.
