I have the keys to my new apartment.

[ThomCat]

The ramp is built and it's a beautiful job. I can start moving in as soon as I can round up some friends to come over and help. :)

If you need my new address feel free to PM me.

My phone number should be staying the same.

[Callalily]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear ThomCat!

This is such good news!

I am thrilled for you!

I hope you NEVER need to move again, sweetie...

:woohoo:

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

9. I'm so happy for you!

:hug:

wish I could be there to help you move.

[ThomCat]

21. If you're willing to help, I wish you were here too.

:P

:loveya:

I absolutely hate not being able to do any of this myself. This is when I feel like a total invalid, when I need so much help and I'm just in the way. :(

I hate having to ask and beg friends to please find some time to come over and do this for me. I just hope I have enough people coming over to get this done.

And, I don't know how I can repay people for this.

I know you know all about the stress of moving. :hug: I wish you were here so I could at least pick your brain regularly so I know I'm not missing anything important.

But I'll be very incredibly happy if I survive the stress of this.

[lizziegrace]

24. You'll get through it

and you won't be alone.

When's a good time of day to call you? I don't want to wake you up if you're not doing well.

:loveya:

Love you...

[ThomCat]

26. I start a new med tomorrow to try to regulate my sleep cycle

so feel free to call me during normal hours. :)

:loveya:

[graywarrior]

10. Totally awesome.

Take some pics so we can all celebrate with you.

[KitchenWitch]

11. Thom I am so happy for you!

:hug:

Will they have issues with Jenalaw's dogs?

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Boy I wish I lived closer. I've got a houseful of

hulking teenaged boys who just told me they're bored.

Congrats my friend.

[rug]

14. Treat them to a weekend in NYC. They won't complain.

[ThomCat]

22. Wow! That would be sweet if you did.

:)

I'd get to see you, and I'd get some help from them. How wonderful would that be? :loveya:

[LostinVA]

34. Just keep an eye on any GPSes

[bigwillq]

13. Congrats!

That's cool! :) :hi:

[DarkTirade]

15. Yay!

Will you have internet right off the bat, or are we gonna be waiting with fingers crossed until you get it installed? :)

[ThomCat]

23. I should have internet right off the bat.

The house is already wired with fiber for Verizon FiOS, and it's cable ready for Time Warner, so I have choices. :)

I just have to figure out which I want to install.

[DarkTirade]

27. Its like choosing between boll or cotton. Which one is the lesser of two weevils?

:P

[ThomCat]

29. Da Dum Dum!

:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

35. Hmm. According to wikipedia that's just two names for the same weevil.

I need to do more research before I do puns. :P

[elshiva]

44. They actually used that one in a Torchwood novel. It's inevitable.

[flvegan]

16. Awesome! Will this one allow JennaLaw's dogs to stay briefly?

Apologies if I misspelled her DU name.

[ThomCat]

25. The plan is that she's searching for a job down here

so she can escape a hellish job in Connecticut and move into the city, and when she finds one she and the dogs are moving in with me.

The landlord is very friendly to dogs. I have my own private fenced-in back yard, and he has turned the side yard into a secure dog run so that I can open a door and let the dogs out to do their business very easily when Jenna isn't there. Easy for me to handle, and easy to keep clean.

It seems ideal so far. I just have to get moved in, and then she has to get moved down here. :)

[VenusRising]

17. Congratulations, sweetie!

I hope the move is as easy as possible for all involved. I can't wait to see pictures of the new place. :)

:hug::loveya:

[Lavender Brown]

18. Congrats on the new place!

I hope your move is as easy and un-stressful as possible. :hug:

[ThomCat]

28. Oh, I wish. I'm panicking already about finding help.

So it's already stressful. If I don't have enough help then I'll have to see if I can hire a couple of college students cheep or something to finish the work.

It is really bothering me that I can't even back a box on my own without half an hour of prep and too much pain. x(

I will be very, very happy when I get through this. :)

:hug:

[kedrys]

19. Alrighty then!

Congratulations, and I hope you have a smooth move! :hi: :hug: :bounce:

[elshiva]

20. Congratulations, honey!

:hug: :hug:

[ThomCat]

30. Ooh! Hot young guys in really good shape! Can I borrow them?

:P

[JenaLaw]

33. that depends...

You are borrowing them to lug boxes...right? ;-)

[enigmatic]

31. I'm glad to hear it, bro

I hope this is a sanctuary for you :hug:

[JenaLaw]

32. umm...

I need your new address...hehe!

[billyoc]

36. Great news, ThomCat! I'll be back in New York Tuesday, around 6.

Leaving South Station in Boston around noon. I'll PM when I get back. :hi:

[NewJeffCT]

37. Congrats on the new place

good luck.

[miss_american_pie]

38. Congrats!

:toast:

[Bertha Venation]

39. I didn't know you'd found one!! Congratulations!

Is there a thread where you tell the tale of finding this apartment? I know you were banging your head against the wall.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

42. I think it was later in that same thread

that I posted about finding this place. It happened pretty suddenly. :)

[Lil Missy]

40. Great news!!!

:toast:

[ismnotwasm]

41. Cool

It sounds wonderful

edit on accident

[salin]

43. If I lived within a couple of hours of you...

I'd be there in a minute (or a couple of hours) to help you move! Enjoy the new place! :hug:
