Moving In

So my niece Tiffany and her man Ben are moving in with us for a bit. Normally I would have said no way. I enjoy my privacy way too much. But they need some help and Dan and I are in a position to help, so it seems the logical thing to do. They have two kittens with them. The kittens are not fixed nor have they had their shots. I'm torn, because it's cheaper to have them take the kittens to the spay and neuter clinic for both to be done, but at the same time, they don't have the money, and I don't have the cash. I can have them take the kittens to the vet that takes care credit, but then it's more expensive. I need the kittens to be fixed. I worry about the female going  into heat and the other is a male, so hum..... bad.....

It's going to be an adjustment too. Having two other people in the house. I don't want to be picky and such and I don't want them to feel uncomfortable. But I worry about things changing.

We got the spare room cleaned out though. Wow what a pain. But Ben and Tiff were tons of help and now the carpet in there has been cleaned. They will use my bed, and the entertainment center and cherry wood desk will stay in there. I am assuming all the games will be in there too. I'm very pleased with that as I feel that the room should be theirs and should be off limits to me and Dan. We'll see what happens. I just know that I would not want them going into my room. (except I think next weekend we're moving my room around so the carpet can be cleaned there. I hope they are OK to help us with that.

It's good about the spare room. It really needed it in more ways than I can count. Hopefully all kitty smell is gone and it will be a good room again. After my room I would like to do the craft room. I've really got to get it done. I need to go through the boxes in the living room. (moved from the spare room) and get them somewhere. I'm thinking probably the garage, but who knows. I should spend a little of the spare money and buy some more totes. Put stuff in the totes I need to keep but not worry about, and put them in the shed instead.

I'll be taking my salads next week to lunch so I need to get my chicken grilled today. I need to grill it up, and then cut it up. After my past experience putting chicken on my salad, I think it might be easier for me to grill a piece for each day of the week today, and the cut it up individually.  I was taking a piece and cutting it up at work. It took so long and was such a pain, that I would only use half the chicken.  I don't think I was getting enough protein, and I know it wasn't as filling as it should have been. So lesson learned. I need to find some Wendy's/ Dee's sized containers for salads. That way I can make them on Sunday for the whole week. I think too that will help me.  Dan has been awesome about getting up and doing breakfast for us. I'm so proud of him. Now if I can just get him to not get on the computer before work, he won't run out the door w/out his lunch. lol.   

Well I'm off to make my zucchini bread. It has to be made as I think my Zuc's are getting beyond ripe. I'm also gonna try for some Banana Bread as Brandy says she likes it. I want to bring her a small loaf.
And if my zucchini bread recipe works out, I will need lots more zuc's from Meredith.

  1. It's hard to have roommates, hopefully it all works out ok. It's super nice of you to help.
    Way to go on the lunches! Also add avocado to your salad, not only are they super good but they are a "healthy fat" and will help keep you feeling full ;)
    Good luck with the bread!
