Back to the 'hood

How is it that I am busier now during "summer vacation" that I was all last semester?!?!

My semester ended in mid-May, but I have been running non-stop since then! I was finishing up my internship/practicum and starting two new jobs during the last two weeks in May. I also took a non-trip to Kansas City for friend L's wedding. It was such a nightmare and I never even made it to the wedding!! And to top it off, I think she's pissed at me now, since she hasn't responded to any of my attempts at contacting her! WTF?!

Also during that time, I was preparing to move. Now, I hate moving anyway, but this was really bad... I had the opportunity to move back into my Gramma's house (the house I grew up in) since she passed away last summer. However, the crazy bitch that was living there totally trashed the place. She was supposed to be out by the 15th so I could have 2 weeks to clean, but she wasn't fully out until more like the 27th. I moved in on the 29th, but it was kind of a disaster. Imagine 4 stories of dirt, cobwebs, moth, dust, etc., having to still go through and sort out Gramma's old stuff, trash, donations, etc., and then moving all my stuff in on top of the existing disaster. Ugh... it makes me tired just to write it. At any rate, we (me, my aunt, and my uncle)are making progress, the crazy bitch is totally gone, and my little brother moves in tomorrow!! Which is a nice segue...

After my trip to VA during Christmastime, my little brother and I concocted a plan for him to move out to CS and be my roommate in Gramma's house. After months pf planning, it is finally happening!! He and my dad left VA yesterday morning, spent the night in KY, will make it most of the way through KS today (fuck Kansas City), and will arrive in CS tomorrow afternoon! I am so excited!!!! Although the house still needs a lot of work, it is coming together and I finished setting up my bro's new room last night. I will try to post pictures sometime soon so I can share the progress with everyone!
