Kayla Shay - Fanart, Fanfiction & More

The unpacking is almost done when it comes to my room. I've gone through all the boxes and have a few small trinkets and picture frames left in one and some computer stuff in another. So Woo! and Hoo!

Now the focus is on the yard sale for 7am tomorrow morning. Lots o' stuff. Furniture, books, clothes, baby things. Between all of us, I think there's three computer desks for sale, several desk chairs, etc. My mom sent over a bunch of stuff she had gotten when my niece was a baby (she's now 2 and a half)... So... Then I'm going to put the art prints from the office that I hadn't been able to sell on ebay yet and see if I can get any taker for those.

Brought several things from the office storage room actually. Which means I got leave early today and claim some of the yard sale time on my timesheet for the week. I'm sneaky like that. :-)

Once the yard sale is over with, I can focus on the little things in my room and getting things hung (the picture for over the bed for instance). And then I'll take pictures and show it off.

Yay! Now back to yard sale organization in one hour. I'm relaxing until 5pm, then I'll get dinner and then I'll get to work.

ETA: Once I'm done with all of that, then I can actually be online more and on messenger more. And... I have a new fic that is just over 2,000 words already and still going! A threesome pairing I've never done before. So look forward to that!

I iz moved

Still have a few little things left at the apartment and some clothes in the closet, but overall, the furniture and boxes of things that I likely don't need but have are all at the house. And I'm using the new internet. Yay.

I set the made the bed first, then hooked up the computer. Although, I still need to tweak the layout of wires and things, but I needed my internet fix.

Now I just have to sort through everything and find a new home for it. My room is completely different from the apartment. It's larger for one. Then I have almost all new furniture. New bed (I didn't buy), new desk (I did buy and I now blame for my dad's trip to the hospital), new dresser (came with the bed), new entertainment stand (really, really cheap from Wal-mart but functional and fits in the room. Only things that came furniture wise from my old room were the two bookcases (one of which was new anyway for about a month and I hadn't used yet) and my nightstand.

So, yeah... I don't know yet what I'll do with everything.

Still using the shower at the apartment for a few, until we get some kind of new fixture put in the bathroom here that makes me and the roomie happy. And just think, all too soon, I'll likely have new bathroom adventure stories.... Wait! I already kinda do. Friday, my dad got stuck in the bathroom because our door was crappy. My dad is like MacGuyver and used his pocket knife to get out. Then he fixed it. :-)

Since my dad wasn't able to help in the move, my brother drove up from a few hours away, two of my cousins and another friend of my cousin who also knows my roomie helped with the heavy lifting (mainly my roomie's bedroom set).

The one cousin that helped was the one that had Swine Flu. So he's doing better. :-)

My dad... They still don't know what caused his spell. They let him leave the hospital tonight. My mom just had him stay until she was able to leave from helping in the move. Then she picked him up on her way home. The hospital was pampering him with pecan pie. I think he would have stayed. He's under a no driving restriction and pretty much a no doing anything restriction, which will be hard for him. That's until they run a few more tests this week to rule out other things. Going to check the carotid arteries and do this tilt test thing on him.

Guess we'll see how that goes. So far, they haven't found anything that they can point a finger at. But that is my dad. When he goes at sick or has something wrong with him, they either never figure it out or it's really out there...

So, that's the update on me. Oh! Once I get the bedroom set up how I like it, I'll take pictures. NCIS lovers with enjoy what is going to hang over my bed.

Thanks for the well wishes...

My dad is doing okay. However, since they don't know 100% what caused his episode, they are keeping him at the hospital tonight and tomorrow to run various heart tests just to ensure everything is good.

He's getting heart monitored today. Then tomorrow they'll do an echocardiogram and stress test.

This has changed things on the moving front. Mainly moving big stuff tomorrow now. And my brother is coming up from Missouri and one, possibly two, of my cousins that live nearby me will be over and between all the muscle we'll hammer it out.

My roommate's mom is a... well... I'll be nice. She's got a vision for her favorite son moving to his first house and she's all... Grrr Arrrghh...

I've just been hiding out in my room packing. Lay low and pray she won't be around tomorrow because she'll just be in the way. His family is 100 times more uptight than my family. Might be the city living versus country living... who knows... I'll be glad when it is done.

Wow... this time tomorrow, *crosses fingers*, the majority of my junk will be in the new house. May have a few little odds and ends left behind to deal with, but the majority will be moved.

My dad was over today and spent most of it putting my new computer desk together. It was a bitch, but it is a pretty bitch. :-)

I put my Wal-Mart cheap entertainment center together. It'll work for what I need it for, so cheap is good on that.

Still gotta back/box the rest of my crap here before tomorrow. I think I will be up most of the night and then do a full day tomorrow. Should be a BLAST! < - read the sarcasm

Comcast got our cable (w/ digital/dvr for the living room) and internet turned on today! And the signal seems to be lots better than here at the apartment. *keeps fingers crossed on that*

At least I shouldn't have any lag time between internet during the move. So yay! And I needed cable to watch NCIS Tuesday (even if I'm scared about how it's going to go).

So.... It's back to work I go. I do have two fics in progress (one's over 1,000 words already), but they'll have to wait a few days to get finished.

I'll post pictures of my new room once things are all situated. :-)

I just wanted to say that I'll be in and out online for the next few weeks. And if you see me on, tell me to get off and go back to work... :-)

I'm moving! (just a block and a half down the street)

My roomie went and bought himself a house and I'm moving with him.
