I was quite a bit behind schedule, but with Gary and Jody&#8217;s help I made it!<\/p>\n<p>I was ready to move the rig around 4, so they helped me out and off I went to gas up, dump, and park the rig outside my building. The first thing I brought in was the cat supplies, then the cats. I locked them in the storage room with everything they needed to be comfortable except a window. It must have felt like a prison cell to them. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>After, I did several loads, bringing up the contents of the fridge and freezer, the bedding, and some kitchen supplies. Gary and Jody met me at 6:30 to help me move in my bed and some furniture they are lending me (wait till you see my headboard!). We then debated how to best park Miranda, reached a consensus, and I was able to square her away. I then drove back to their house to pick up my car (and some curtains since my loft curtains aren&#8217;t quite enough and some fresh baked bread).<\/p>\n<p>Back at the apartment building I went to Miranda to grab toiletries, a few more kitchen things, some clothes and my computer.<\/p>\n<p>Before I left, I let the cats out. When I got in around 8, Neelix was roaming around, but Tabitha had literally vanished. I was really puzzled but not worried since she&#8217;s done this to me many times. I couldn&#8217;t wait to find her secret safe spot, but I thought I&#8217;d examined all the possibilities. Then I just knew. The pallets! Sure enough, Tabitha was under the bed! She let me pet her, but then retreated further under the bed, just out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>By this point, I was famished but in absolutely no mood to cook and I can&#8217;t use my new microwave until I get an extension cord. So I decided to walk over to the McDonald&#8217;s a couple of blocks away. I was so hungry and exhausted by this point that my vision was blurry, but the food and fresh air did me a world of good.<\/p>\n<p>On the walk home I realised that I&#8217;d forgotten to grab some pajamas and a skirt to wear tomorrow so I went back to the rig to grab them as well as my <a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/?p=1216\">little green machine<\/a> so that I could wash the recliner and ottoman Gary had pulled out of storage. What was one more chore by this point when it meant that I could enjoy the chair tomorrow evening. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Then, it was time for a most satisfactory shower. I was pleased with the shower head, water temperature, and the water pressure. It&#8217;s not much fun having to step over the edge of the bath and wrestle with a shower curtain, but I won&#8217;t miss my shower as much as I thought I would.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m lying in bed with the kitties. I don&#8217;t usually use the computer in bed, but it&#8217;s either that or the floor! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>I am completely at peace with where I am tonight. The only place in Canada where I can winter with my RV is the second most expensive place in Canada to live. There is no way that I could do the $1,000 plus a month it would cost me to live in BC in addition to the taxes there. I badly need to see a doctor and this is where I&#8217;ve found one. The price to pay is living in this apartment. I will make do. I mean, I have a cozy temporary abode, no commute to a job I like, and good friends living close by. This is the perfect set up for me to get my health issues sorted out and I feel very grateful to be here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s agenda was to finish destriping and Poliglowing the driver&#8217;s side, pack up, and move to the apartment.
