Moving update 4/27 (Patreon)

Our things will FINALLY be here from the other side of the country on Tuesday!!! We're all very excited to finally start unpacking and settling into our new space. Our home is beautiful and we've been enjoying it a lot so far. My daughter and I did some gardening in our very own yard today. It still feels surreal. There's so much space here, and we're not in an apartment or someone else's house for once. All the space is ours. I always dreamed of having this for myself and my family. But with all that's happened to me throughout my life, I never thought it'd be my reality.

On top of that, my husband is really enjoying his new job. They've been incredibly accommodating with him needing to go in late some days because of move related stuff. And he's even able to work from home on Tuesday so he can help me with directing the movers and getting us started setting up.

We're extremely broke right now, cause we've had to get take out, buy things we need that we own but it's all been in storage across the country, and starting to replace furniture we had to leave behind. Plus replace groceries, that one hurt me most. I'm a stocker-upper during sales or at Costco. Especially since my daughter and I ran out of food and had no money for more at a point in our lives. That made me anxious to have empty cabinets. Yet we had to give away and sadly toss so much food. We just couldn't bring cold foods at all. So we've had to spend hundreds restocking some of that, plus getting food to eat now. Which I can't shop sales yet because we just need food. So that's all been frustrating this past week. But it's almost over and we're hoping our finances settle quickly once my husband starts getting paid.

I will update when I'm back to doing arts again! I still haven't decided where I want to set up for that. But I have an idea....
