I'm BACK

Hi everybody,

I'm back! I'm still getting settled here in the Bronx, and it hasn't been an easy move.

We had trouble getting a U-Haul, and then when we finally got one, it was a broken down wreck! We were lucky we made it here at all.

Then I had to go back home Mon. and Tues for a doctors appointment and vet appointment, and finally had my first night here Tues night.

I'm having a lot of problems with getting my new computer up and running, and haven't been able to work these past two days, so I'm really stressed about that.

And yesterday while washing some glasses, I dropped one and cut my finger on broken glass.

UGH!!

The house here is a disaster, with boxes everywhere and things have not been taken care of for a long time (think bachelor house). I miss my old home already. It was bright and cheery and familiar. Here it's very dark, and has no sense of comfort or home. I think it's a combination of being unfamiliar and also being in such a state of chaos and disrepair.

So while I'm so happy to finally be with my hubby, and the stress of the separation is over, I feel like I have a few other stresses to take it's place.

Last night I just cried, and this morning too! I think if work was going better and the house was a little more 'together' I wouldn't feel this way.

Anyway, it's good to be back!! I missed LIW, even if it was only for a few days.

Hey sweetie pie. Don't get down in the dumps, Rome was not built in a day. Its very easy to find all kinds of fault of what's wrong. Do not do that. Think of all the things that you will do to make it your own space. Get magazine and get ideas.

I know our home still has some many things that needs to be done to it, but it is getting there. I know one thing for a fact just cleaning up and dumping a lot of the manly junk got me to feeling better.

The boxes can definitely overwhelm you, so start there then move your way up. I wish you all the best. I know you are at least together now, so I know that should be a relief. Take care and know we are here for you

Hi Karen!! I know what you mean about bachelor house. Been there done that!! But think of it this way..now you get the fun of making the house your own. Decorating together can be a fun couples experience. Get some flowers to make it cheery!! And I am sure you will feel better once the sun decides to come back out too. It is always tough in the beginning because change is hard. But you have your hubby every single day now and that is the best gift of all. The rest will come with time.

Re: I'm BACK

you'll spruce that place up in no time! I can understand your stress - I have no patience for chaos. Enjoy being with your hubby!

Re: I'm BACK

It will all come together and it will feel like home soon

Re: I'm BACK

Great to have you back! I'm so glad to hear you're finally with your hubby.

Re: I'm BACK

I'm starting to feel a little bit better. I finally got my computer straightened out and was able to work some today. I also got a lot of the kitchen cleaned and organized, which also made me feel better.

I suppose I didn't realize how much time it takes to set up and feel at home somewhere new. It's especially hard since DH works nights, and I'm alone a lot, when I am so used to having people around me all the time.

I'm sure each day will get better and better.

Re: I'm BACK

I can understand a little of what you are going through. My DH has a house but the tenant won't move out. Her lease was up at the end of August. We are curently trying to get her evicted but is not easy. We got back from our honeymoon 11/16 and every other night I am sleeping at his apartment. It is hard, I have a pet bird that I can't bring to his apartment so my mom is taking care of him when I am not home (there is no room in his livingroom for the cage because all of my shower gifts are in the livingroom). Since DH has a roommate, I feel wierd showering there. It stinks that I am not able to live in the same house as my DH. I wanted to come home from honeymoon and be able to move into my house. Its just not fair.

Thanks for letting me vent...
