Status Report (Me)

Okay, moving has Happened. We got everything moved out of the old apartment and storage and moved into the new house. We've been in the new house for over a month, and I've been really really busy unpacking and cleaning and washing and sorting and organizing and unpacking some more. But all four of us are now living in the house (me, Boss, MK, and Metamour), and it's pretty wonderful almost all the time.

The week of moving was a major headache, not that that's any surprise. We had to put down my dog that week, and also it worked out that the day we moved was also Kiara (and Paul)'s birthday. So no big celebration for the kids. But we got through Moving Week, and moved on from there.

Then MK moved in a couple weeks later. I see a huge difference in his outlook since he's moved in. He's been a lot happier and more relaxed than before the move. As hermit-like as he likes to be, being around other people really is good for him. He's also put out some real effort to communicate with the family group and just to hang out and chat as well, even those unpleasant conversations about rules and money and scheduling. The effort he's made does make a lot of difference. I think it's helped ease Boss's fears a bit, too, about the two of them living in the same house.

So the apartment and storage are No More. Next is the old house, Motel M. The plan is to get all MK's stuff out of there into his storage, then clean that bedroom really thoroughly. Then move most of my daughter's stuff in there and clean the rest of the house thoroughly. Then try to sell the house. It's going to be more hard work, but it's no longer feeling like an overwhelming task.

No moving-related stuff this weekend; we're headed to a kink convention. Given how tight money is, I feel guilty going. But the tickets are already paid for, as well as one night of the hotel. We're packing food, so really it's just gas and two more nights at the hotel. We can do this. This'll be my fifth year at this con. And if it gets any more disorganized, maybe my last.

Um, multi stuff, since this is a blog about being multiple. Well, nothing much to say right now. No one's blowing up. We aren't sharing really well; I'm mostly out most the time because there's so much to do. But Paul and Kiara are coming out from time to time, and I'm feeling others nearby and available. I think we're too busy externally to have issues internally - or too tired.
