The Think Tank

Yesterday was the big day: Shannon now officially lives with me and Mom. With help from Kevin, Joel, Kyle and Maure we got the bulk of Shannon’s stuff moved from her apartment in Wilsonville to our house.

As anyone who has ever been to our house knows, it is not overrun with empty space, so she had to give up much of her furniture: her table and chairs, one air conditioner and her computer desk went to Kevin, and her futon went to Joel. Her grandmother’s bedroom set was very special of course, so that went into our bedroom at the house, necessitating some shuffling and Craig’s Listing on our end too, but we pretty much got it all done. An awful lot of her stuff has had to go into the attic as well, since it was duplicating stuff we’ve already got here. That’s kind of too bad, since it needs to feel like her place too, but she says she is not bothered.

We have some small stuff left to bring over from the apartment, but shouldn’t have any problem getting the last of it out before Wednesday, which is the due date.

The last big hurdle is introducing the cats. Shannon’s cat Luna came over last night, but we kept her in our room in an effort to slowly acclimate her to the new surroundings. She was kind of wigged out in the middle of the night, by has been ok overall. Growler so far is in the dark about the whole thing. I’m not sure how she’s going to take it, but hopefully they can become friends.

Any way, just thought I should let everyone know the news.
