You're ALL invited to a party!


It's my virtual housewarming party, and I can't think of another group of people I'd rather have over than y'all :)

8 days before I had to be out of my last (awful) place, I was sweating bullets having not yet found anywhere to move, after searching every day for two months. But thankfully this one came through and I LOVE it!

I've got a fully stocked bar -- vodka for Stratego, single malt for the newly returned Dewey, hard lemonade for GlenEllyn, and forgive me if I don't remember everyone else's poison, but, FULLY STOCKED BAR! So, whatever you please, I've got it here for you. Makes yourselves at home, feel free to partake of the hors d'oeuvre and whatever's in the fridge, and have fun! *clink*

It may be a bit crowded, as it's only a studio cottage, but hey, there's a roomy private outside area for us to party, and it's on half an acre!

Landlord husband has a wonderful droll sense of humour, and landlord wife and I have a lot in common too. She brought me a little basket of freshly laid chicken and duck eggs the other morning :)

I've got plenty of fresh eggs but will NOT have to be walking on eggshells, like i was constantly with my last landhorrors. AND, I'm safe here! No more evacuations!!!

Wanted to post this for a Friday or Saturday night party, but I've been so exhausted, I couldn't make it happen.

Last but not least, these guests are for Stratego:

And, okay, now it's the last, which is for Dewey, and all other dog lovers here (DF! and others):

I'm very glad to hear that you are finally settled in a good place. Good times are coming for you. I'll be there for the housewarming for sure!

First, I have to acknowledge what a crap host/hostess/whatever I turned out to be. An hour or less after I posted this, I fell asleep! I've been sleeping 12-14 hours a day lately (eek!) so this isn't unusual, but it is for throwing a party.

On the plus side, the bar has been and still is open, and everyone's welcome to whatever they like, including whatever eats they like :)

Veuve Cliquot Grande Dame (properly chilled, but of course) for R_K, Cava for Dazed, 200% proof of whatever for Croft, whatever Texas most delights in, Malbec for Juror 8, lots of drinks of whatever and 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 for Stratego, and whatever your hearts' delight for anyone else I'm forgetting, including but not limited to Ksp's red Solo cup being filled with whatever it is she most enjoys!

TwinA, I love hanging with y'all, and appreciated the 4-wheel alarm clock :D

Out of energy to respond to everyone, but I thank each and every one of you for coming to my party. I do love it here, and trust all of you have and are enjoying being here :)

You've not chucked me out yet!

This is THE BEST PARTY EVER!

More Melbec it is! *clink*

12-14 hours a day? Looks like you tripped over the cure for insomnia: a few months of running for your life every few days.

I hope you’re enjoying the new place during the waking hours as well.

I know it seems nuts, but the reality is I can't help it. Just now fell asleep for a few hours (how many? no clue, but at probably a couple). What I really wish for is being able to once again fall asleep and *stay* asleep for 8 or so hours straight. Hopefully that'll happen again, soon.

Meanwhile, yes, I really am enjoying the (many) peaceful hours I have here!

I'm just glad that things are looking up for you. It sounds like you've landed in a good place. Cheers! I"m raising my Mike's to you! πŸ₯‚

reply

Thank you! I'll raise my version of Mike's to yours :). Things really are finally looking up for me, and I'm very appreciative of it! That's one of the good things about things sucking: once they're not, by contrast it feels SO good :)

I feel very fortunate that I found this place, which I truly love, even though it's not perfect. In the long run, it is.

Thanks for the shoutout. The more I get to know you, Cat, the more I realize what a kind person you are. It must be all the rabbit ears!
