the futon, otoh, is EXTREMELY STURDY

First off, MASSIVE FLAILY THANKS to [livejournal.com profile] brooklinegirl, [livejournal.com profile] mrsronweasley, [livejournal.com profile] drlense, [livejournal.com profile] ldthomps, [livejournal.com profile] giddygeek, and [livejournal.com profile] bathsweaver for all of their help with the move yesterday. It was AMAZING and a million times smoother than any of us (or [livejournal.com profile] lordessrenegade and I, at least) had expected, and also FAST LIKE LIGHTNING. THANK YOU ALL.

(ps, one of you left a Red Sox baseball cap on our kitchen table?)

But. Okay. So the thing you have to understand is that in the following pictures, I am TOTALLY INNOCENT.

But. Well. Um.

First off, last night I was in the kitchen, dooting around and waiting for Jai to get back from returning the truck, when I heard an almighty CRASH. After some investigation (and a frantic check of the A/C), it turned out to be this:



To clarify, that's the light fixture. ...yeah.

(...when I mentioned this to the landlord, his response was, "oh, yeah, that was on the floor when the last tenants moved out...I guess that must be why!" Which, *facepalm*, but on the other hand at least it's pretty clearly NOT OUR FAULT, so. Plus he brought us a lease! FUCKING FINALLY)

And then, this morning, I was sitting at the kitchen table, taking a break from putting up shelves (IN OUR CABINETS. OF WHICH WE HAVE MANY.) when THIS happened:



...yeah. Turns out there was a REASON the lesbian a block away was willing to thrown in the chairs for free! (The table, at least, is very sturdy, so I'm still calling the $25 we spent on those a deal)

AND YET, I am still extremely pleased with this state of affairs! I have put up some shelves in the kitchen cabinets, and put some things ON those shelves, and puttered around ridiculously, and just - APARTMENT. This is my face right now: :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

At some point soon, one of us will post a picspam of the entire process of relocation, and sometime next month I will start CLASSES and want to talk about other things again! ...but not right away, sry2say.
