Am beyond penniless. Oh, payday where art thou?
Have learned a v. valuable lesson. Will henceforth refrain from taunting God, Mother Nature and any other Associated Forces in control of moving-day fate. Will not, in the presence of light rain, scream at sky, “Is this all you got?!” Because chances are, no, this is not all She’s got. Luckily, yours truly and an armful of table legs were the only things soaked by ensuing massive shower. God, Mother Nature and Associated Forces have one hell of a sense of humor. And vengeance.
RK took relocating surprisingly well. By 4 AM of following morning, despite horrific scene just 12 hours earlier, the young one was quite ready to explore the new abode. This gal was tiniest bit annoyed at being invited to v. early morning exploration session, but am v. glad that RK isn’t still under the bed sulking. Am hopeful that New Roommate and Reluctant Kitten will become fast friends. Or at least not frighten one another.
Am v. glad to be living across the street from pals, as spent last night in all out gory Monopoly battle. Am hoping for a rematch as did not do so well, even sporting lovely Boardwalk/Parkplace money trap.
Speaking of money trap, have I mentioned that am v. near to having exactly zero dollars? *sigh*
I’m sure that the kitten will get on famously with the New Roommate.
Am to be assuming that the foot held up well during Major Move?
Ah, Monopoly. The last time I played was a similar all-out no-holds-barred Champion of the Universe Tournament. It was an epic battle. I was one of the ones to get knocked out early, but stayed behind to watch the gore.
Battle-lines were drawn, blood was spilt. Families were divided, brother-against-brother.
Ultimately, the game was decided on endurance. Who could put up with this crap for two more hours?
We haven’t played since.
True story: In the summer of 1975, my cousin, a friend and I got written up in the Hartford Courant for trying to break the world record for playing Monopoly in a tree house.
I’ve done many stupid things before and since, but that was pretty much the stupidest thing I’ve ever done that I couldn’t get arrested for.
So you don’t even have a surplus of Monopoly money! That’s a bummer.
You could always become a cam girl on the side, get a paypal button, pick up some extra cash..
No, I can’t finish this comment with a straight face. Ick! I hope the money issues resolve themselves for you soon.
Having no money is better than having negative money, which thanks to student loans is the case for many of us.
