So after dropping a mini fridge on my foot last night, I figured that it was time for packing break...and I think mother would have freaked out more if I hadn't let her take me out to dinner last night.



So I am now just going room to room to make sure that I am not forgetting any important items... such as immigration papers etc. This is my last email/web check and my last break.



Never again will I do something like this alone- WAY too much for one person. But kudos to the 3 people who did make time for me, otherwise it would be another 2 days of me trying to move stuff alone.



Good news is that I was able to do last min grooming for dogs :)



I spend my birthday on the road... it will be good for me- as I love driving, it creates those lovely zen moments.. I have charged laptop batteries so I can refresh ipod with Harry Potter ♥



YAY no smelly puppies in my lap. There is Still.... so much stuff..well soon it will be sold or trashed... I'm going to really miss it here. Perhaps that is why I drag my feet, so many reasons to go- but still so many people I leave behind.



Let the adventures begin- see you all in 3-4 days ;) unless I find free wifi !

So kiss me and smile for me...

So, I am still here and actually have 2 rooms (mainly paperwork) to go through.



This however is not why I'm still here. I am still here because I have yet to be paid.

GAH!!



Needless to say I am very frustrated by this... but I have been assured that I will be able to pick up the check tomorrow... bets anyone? lol...

Mine is a 6x12 trailer. I start loading right now. We'll see how this goes.



I think it will help to get it all out of the house since I have been moving piles for the past several months. Now, it will go somewhere then I can come back and sell what I don't need and repair once the crap is gone.



Breath... and jump...

Today was much running around. Confirmed U-haul, took all animals to vet (Holmes has ear infection- HOW did I miss that?! Gah am horrible person), got tires rotated checked, had to have van jump started... will call AAA next so I'm not stuck on the road. Now packy packy...



Tomorrow, oil change, hook up trailer and packy packy...



Monday, demand check for back pay (rowing center still hasn't paid me), go to bank (try not to cry in process) and hit the road.



Many many little things inbetween.. I'm here just all over, so don' tbe surprised with quick or no responses for the next week or so...

Get all cranky... no it's not a power trip as many people believe. Primarily it is because there need for control in the forums. There is a line, even we as Dominars have crossed it... and when we get shamed we learn- we don't lash out. Grass is always greener on the other side, don't forget we've volunteered to help keep the continuity. But the forums are only what the members make them out to be. Never forget that- otherwise they are a lost cause.

After what has been a very dry summer, Seattle is right now in the middle of a heavy down pour. It is one of those loud pounding rains, the kind that I love to sleep under.



Musical powerful freeing



I wish my bedroom were still in the attic, as it would lull me to sleep. I am emotionally exhausted. There is a part of me that longs for so much more than I have been given. Singing, I want to go back. Be who I was, remember and more than that, I am. My destructive nature is still occurring; perhaps it is here to remind me.



Who what wants



There is more beyond my words, I feel the cold seeping in through my windows and it chills me. My actions freeze. Will I ever find the end result or is this to just continue? Ever the traveller with a place to call home, but nowhere that is home. I long for warmth to envelop me like an embrace.



Encompassing peaceful rest



Envisioning arms around me, holding me not a lovers embrace. One that comes from behind, a restraining embrace that I can relax into knowing that their strength will keep me from more destruction. More and more I find myself longing not for a lover but a true friend, one that understands, intimate, but more. More than just the passion that fades crumbles and becomes shallow.



See hear understand



Accept embrace protect



Cherish nurture expand



Yes.

Remember why you live LOUD

Ann-



Guts got us within one second of the Huskies on Opening Day. Today, guts will get us a Pac-10 Championship. As you pull your last race at Pac-10's, let it be your finest, the culmination of four year's worth of sweat and effort. Every stroke you take, as always, will reflect your tremendous heart. And we know that's what it's all about. Refuse to you out quietly. Row loud. ~Ann (our Cox)

Rowing a race is an art not a frantic scramble. It must be rowed with head power as well as muscular power. From the first stroke all thoughts of the other crew must be blocked out. Your thoughts must be directed to you and your boat, always positively, never negative. Row your optimum power every stroke, try and increase the optimum.



Rowers as fit as you, when your everyday strength is gone, can draw on a mysterious reservoir of power far greater. Then it is you can reach for the stars.



That is the only way champions are made.



That is the legacy rowing can leave you.



Don't miss it.



~George Pocock, 1958

Hrmph. So our renters have turned into nightmares officially.



Apparently we are BAD people with NO respect because:



1. The doorknob on the front door was jimmied by previous renters so only the deadbolt works. We offered to have locksmith come in, but “no I can fix that” was what we were told.



2. The BRAND NEW carpet has started to rise by front door. We called the installer, who has repeatedly called the tenants who, “work and are too busy” to return his calls so he can fix it. This is an installation problem not our fault, it needs to be fixed, don’t blame us if your fingers are broken and you can’t dial the man’s number.



3. The drainage for the washing machine needs to be “zipped down” so it stays put. Again this was given a “we can do that”. By the way it's a piece that costs about .02 and I just had run out of them otherwise I would have done it before.



This couple while very nice, is not very bright. They have not read their lease; given us a damage report within the STATE required 48hours and effectively broke their lease within those 48 hours. Nevermind the "Can do's" were assured to us by the gentleman because he is a professional house framer and truthfully both the lock and zip tie are easy jobs.



They scheduled a walk through at a specific time when they also had scheduled a dinner party. It is rude and will not make the landlord happy.



They painted a room without permission, which DOES in fact break their lease. If they would read it they would know this.



Yelling at the landlord because you can’t read also does not make them happy. Reading does. Then following up a demand for money back with, “we really like the house” also does not make landlord happy.



Interesting that they did that within three days of moving in and still have not read the lease or landlord tenant laws. If you really want to make a place “homey” I suggest you TALK to the landlord, read you lease and most importantly- if you don’t like the answers then find another place to lease. Do not get bitchy because you do not own the property. At this point just hiring someone to repaint this room will eat $400 of the damage deposit as I AM MOVING and NOT PAINTING THERE AGAIN for 2 years. You think that moving out in Nov will help get your checks back? NO, you first, last and deposit. Until you move out- no deposit will be returned. If you stay- remember this is a business for us, a small one- but we must protect our investment.



Do like it? Then shell out the $500,000 you will have to PAY to buy a house of equivalent size and in FAR WORSE shape to live in this neighbourhood. /rant

So I'm enjoying my time here on VR when all of a sudden it sounds like a squeeky toy fest is happening upstairs. I go to look and low and behold my male cat finally found the awal mouse, and carried down the stairs into my living room.



I go for my handy dandy pitcher... right as the mouse runs UNDER my wood burning stove =/ Bugger better not die under there... that will make me VERY cranky. And kitty had better NOT bring me a midnight present. ICK!



Picture of waiting for the mouse:





Then my mother calls me and informs me that our renters have broken their lease only 2 days into it. It seems that the room that I spent the last couple of days painting... well they painted again a nice yellow colour. And the lease says there is to be no painting without written permission. Now my mother wants to change from lease to month to month agreement, and make sure they understand it. *SIGH*



And ya'll wonder why this move was taking so long- this is the kind of BS that seems to pop up on a daily basis. No worries... I'm on it... and I WILL be out of here ASAP! GAH...

So much for my cats doing their duty and killing the mice. I found in my not completed bathroom that I had been using as fabric storage, that some lovely rodents ATE through the metal cap on the drain pipe and taken up residence in my fabric.



Not only have I lost THOUSANDS of dollars in fabric, the fuckers ate anything and everything plus have left me with a space that now has to be re-floored and bleached galore. GAH. Look even have a picture of one of them… one more to go and the room is all clear except for the other one that ran over my foot into my closet… we go after that one next… look for more pictures later :)







No I didn’t kill the tard, but freeded it into my neighbour’s backyard because they have so kindly shared their invasive bamboo that I still have to cut back and deal with on a bi weekly basis.

Well not really, today I finish the rental as I believe our renters move in today *Crossing fingers and TOES* if this is the case I start full tilt on my house and then I leave.



I'm finding it difficult still. So many people I am going to miss- but I have created a situation that if I do not move, I put myself into a worst position. Even moving and potentially failing will be better than if I stay. I guess I'm effective and making sure I have motivation to make it work ;)



SO my message box is all backed up, I'm trying to respond to everyone, and at the same time wanting to put up a sign that says "NOT RECIEVING please check back later". :) Truthfully I do want to chat, but I am easily overwhelmed right now. I will get back to you all, my time is just a bit more limited than what it was previously.

Assumptions
00:38 Sep 01 2006
Times Read: 1,060

For those who assume anything about me… let me tell you this. You may make an ass out of yourself or anyone else for that manner- but you will not make one of me.



To set the record straight:



1. I do not talk about my friends to other friends unless in nice manner.



2. There has never been a time when I have told someone to read another journal because of the “drama” it contains. I don’t like to see friends argue, but if they must it is THEIR business not mine. There are plenty of other “tattle tales” around here, and I have better things to do.



3. Instead of approaching me, it is assumed that I am the bad guy- because I’m too FUCKING BUSY to talk to people? Whatever. Remove me from MySpace; I’m rarely there. I will not remove you because you choose to see “conspiracies” where there are none.



4. Insisting that I give up friends I have met in real life does noting but to show your regard for me is less than good. Obviously in your eyes I am an immature git who needs confirmation and likes the drama games. Was it ever considered that perhaps I stay quiet so I don’t have to be involved?



5. Putting me in the middle will do nothing but piss me off. I’m sorry your feelings were hurt, I’m sorry that you feel that I am untrustworthy, but aside from what I say here- I will say nothing more regarding this situation.



I truly wish you well as my friendship was never false no matter what you believe. I will still be here when this “situation” is over and finished, my opinions will not be swayed by hurt feelings, and the lashings out they create.
