Almost moving time!

Thanks Diana! I will post pictures next week if I get everything done After the painting's done I'll need to hang pictures and I still need to buy things like a shower curtain and bedroom curtains, etc. The stuff I have now just doesn't match!

That's a good idea to tie Layla up in the kitchen. I do have a plastic coated wire too, but I'll just need to unpack it The other thing I could do is just close the door in the laundry room, but I think she would scratch it up, and already the smell in there gets pretty bad when she uses her pad in there because there's no ventilation... with the door closed it would only be worse. Hopefully we'll try something that works! The best case scenario is that she turns into a perfectly trained dog overnight

Try putting Lyla on the chain while you're home so she'll get used to it. I don't have any problems with chaining Jazzi up like this when I'm gone. I worried that she'd chew on the corners of the cabinets so I put deodorant on them and I haven't had any problems except she got tangled up in a chair leg once. You could even put a pee pad within reach for her. Good luck!!

Lindsey good luck on your new place. I didn't realized you were moving in already. Post some photos asap I would love to see them. Sounds really pretty. Poor Lalya I guess she has to get use to her new surroundings.. Good luck!

Don't know how I missed so much of this....post some pics Lindsey!!! Pretty please????

Sounds like you're getting settled!! Dark colors are sooo hard to paint. Sometimes roller stokes can be a problem, sounds like that's not one for you though. Ah, home ownership!!

Hope all works out well and you have a nice visit with your friends this weekend!!!!

Unfortunately, it's not going to be done by tomorrow night. I have barely slept in the past 3 weeks and I've gotten even more sick. I caught Scott's cold and it's been terrible. I took yesterday off work, got the painting done and got my cable and internet hooked up. Last night the plan was to get my bed put together and unpack my room. Scott couldn't remember where he put the screws and wood dowels for my bed and we tore the place apart until 1 am looking for them. Things just keep going wrong and I had to just sit down and cry. When I started I couldn't stop. I have been so stressed out.
I finally got to sleep around 3 and when my alarm went off at 5:50 there was no way I could get up... my head was pounding and I was so stuffed up. I took a sick morning and slept until 10, and then I got up and had my first bath in my deep soaker tub with "Cranilla" epsom salts. Wow. If I bought my condo just for that tub it would be worth it!
Now at work we have a project that just came to my attention and it's huge and due tomorrow. They haven't even started the design yet. So it looks like I will be stuck in the office all night. I'm so sick of this b.s. that goes on at work. Last week Scott was working until 5:30 in the morning, two days in a row, because they decided to lay things on him last minute. It's so stressful and so unhealthy, and it's because the engineers sit on these projects until the last minute and then decide to work on them under the gun and then we're stuck here with them until all hours of the night.
I am so stressed out I just can't handle it.

Oh, Lindsey, so sorry you are going through all of this. No advise for you, just a shoulder to lean on. So hope you get well soon and everything comes together for you!!!
