Finally after 27 years, I have moved out
12 years ago
And Boxes boxes everywhere. I have the urge to turn them into a fort... then I remember I'm a grown up and I need to empty these into places in the apartment... Sad dragon
HAPPY DRAGON! I have succeeded in my goals and we are renting an apartment that is technically a condo. The landlord made some nice decisions on the place and I am happy to report all the appliances are working so far (Oven and stove are getting used for the first time tonight), the storage is numerous and very functional, and the walls are painted in something that isn't just white! Expect photos in the coming weeks once these boxes are recycled at last.
HAPPY DRAGON DANCE! I finally have a studio. It is a two bedroom condo and my fiance has agreed that the second room will be my domain for art! Soooo excited and it is coming together quite well, albeit slow damn boxes of numerousness....
Razzberry my Uromastyx lizard also has joined in the move and is enjoying her new digs. Her familiar cage is just too enormous for this place so her less tall cage is getting used until I can afford a home. Bonus is I get to use sand and she has been digging up a storm and basking. Also since this is not an Animal Plastics cage, but rather an old aquarium, she has glass on all sides and has been very observant of me and my fiance. I will catch glimpses of her sneaking looks from the far side of the rock piles.
Also the coolest feature of our place? We have a wood burning fireplace O.o I can't help but feel like this place was meant for two dragons. Top floor, huge balcony for me to sun bathe on in the afternoon sun, fireplace to warm up near while we wait for spring to arrive in Illinois (stop hoarding the good weather Florida and learn to share a bit), and we came in underbudget. Now I get to pay bills like a normal adult, work on art projects without fear of judgement, and feel so very free at last of my parents problems so I can focus on my own problems.
Just thought you all might like to hear this update and I hope this summer will be filled with lots of new art
