Wren’s Journal: New Apartment (with Kitties) New Moon

This is Heidi, my Siamese. 

Heidi is not usually so quiet. 
She sure yowled and moaned during the car ride. 
My boyfriend and I drove her to our new apartment. Heidi’s cries sounded like “Where? Where? Where’s that? MNOOOOOOO”
Maybe she hurt her throat.
Now I have a cat, a boyfriend, and an office.
Boyfriend is great. Office has neither light nor chair.
My couch is the back carseat of a Mercury Villager. (It’s temporary.)
Moving is hard.
Just like Heidi, I feel off. Things haven’t found spots yet. 
There is still a collection of boxes both to unpack and recycle. 
Necessary items to acquire. No toaster oven yet.
Heidi won’t start talking.

Unless it is to moan at her new cat roommie, Slugg. 

Slugg’s chillin

 

Slugg calmly pads around the apartment.
It’s true, Heidi, she’s been here longer.
But only for a day.
Slugg doesn’t even jump on things. She is totally the one we expected to be scared.
Slugg, too, spent her first day crammed in strange and tiny spaces.
Heidi stays where I put her for a while, so I lent Heidi my inspirational octopus.
But she is unmoved.

Tomorrow is another day sweet pea.

    Moving is hard 🙁 My husband and I are in the midst of a very strange, long and crazy move to Florida ( although the end is near I think 🙂
    Until we have enough money saved for a place and car we are living in his Semi truck and are accompanied by our cat Benny. He actually does super well in vehicles.

    Your kitty cats are very cute. I’m sure everyone will adjust to the new place soon =)

    Thanks for sharing the cute pictures.
