Migrations

Today was a big day. It was the day the A. moved into her new apartment. I haven't seen it yet, but I hope to get there soon. She is very happy and excited.

Here is A. (right) with her roommate in their new digs.

J., B., and W. went to help move furniture and assemble things.

Not everyone is excited. H. and R. are not happy about A. moving and we have done a lot of assuring that we will see her often. Actually, they are unhappy that A. and Olive are moving out. I think H. is going to miss Olive the most. Olive herself is not quite so happy at this moment. She is still here, but A. will be picking her up in a little bit. All Olive knows is that A. isn't here but a lot of boxes and things got moved out. She is pretty unhappy even with the prescription anti-anxiety drug that the vet prescribed for her to help her get through the next couple of days. She'll feel better once she sees A. again.

In the meantime, once all of A.'s things were out of her room here, it was time for the great bedroom shuffling to begin. D. has now moved down to the first floor bedroom, though still needs to really unpack and make it his own. Then, when D. was moved out of his room (wide hallway?) on the third floor, K. could start moving all of his things up there. I think he has accomplished that, though once again, unpacking and sorting out needs to happen. 

This means that over the weekend, we can move out K.'s old bed (which we don't need anymore) and can unbunk G. and L.'s beds. Do you know what this means?!? That after too many years to count, we are officially bunk and loft bed-free! If anyone has tried to make a bunk or loft bed, you'll know my great joy over this. This is going to give G. and L. more room because their bedroom was really never meant for three people. It was a tight fit. 

Many other people would dearly like their own rooms, but real estate is at a premium here, so they are going to have to wait a while. Y. will be moving up to TM's room for the summer while he is at boot camp, but there won't be anything really permanent for a while. Pretty much, you just have to bide your time and eventually your chance at a single room comes up.

When we get the new room situations fixed up I'll post a photo. I imagine that it is what we will spend the weekend working on. Plus, I really do think it will require a trip to IKEA. D. needs a dresser and K. needs a bookcase and ....
