Dear Valued Readers,
My parents have recently informed me that, ironically, retirement nest eggs are built under the presumption of eventually having an empty nest. So, I'm moving out of my parent's old house at the end of the month, so that they can sell it to VERY SELFISHLY bankroll their retirement, because, evidently, I "don't need eight rooms to myself to watch cat videos all day."
Hopefully, most of my moving will be accomplished in the first week of June...
HOWEVER, my luck being what it is, you should be aware that if I run into any sort of trouble (broken monitors, lost Ethernet cables, suicide attempts in the face of carrying a quarter ton of books up two flights of stairs), I may be out of contact for a while. My life has yet to afford me the opportunity to look back at a relocation and reflect upon how smoothly it went. Most of my experiences with a moving van have played out like a poorly written episode of I Love Lucy.
I will try to pack my computer last, unpack it first, and bully the cable company into a prompt appointment with threats of subscribing to DSL, but let's face it, the cable company knows I'm their
bitch, sure as if they had me strung out on crack.
Worst case scenario, I'm unpacking my five hundred boxes of books in ninety degree heat while grappling with internet withdrawal through June and back on duty in July. Best case scenario, my parents have a change of heart and come out of retirement to continue support me in the style to which I have grown accustomed ... or I get the cable activated promptly at my new broke-down apartment ("Danger Cave 1") sometime in the second week in June.
Either way, I sincerely hope that you'll keep this site in your bookmark roster through coming content lull, wish me luck each time your back aches in the coming month, and drop me a line if you hear of any crooked nursing homes willing to snatch up admit parents who are only mildly senile.
Yours Truly,
Pipedreamergrey
