Ugh, moving is such a pain

I'm still feeling rather crappy from the medicine withdrawal (see this post for info on that mess), but at least I'm starting to feel creative again sometimes! For the past few months I've just felt so lethargic and apathetic that the last thing I wanted to do was make something, but I finally feel some of that pull to create again! It's not as strong as it used to be (there are some days where I still don't feel like doing anything), but at least I'm able to crochet sometimes and actually come up with ideas. :D I'm currently working on a pair of sleeves for the March EtsyFAST challenge of "books" (I'm making them to look like something that would be on one of Eowyn's dresses in The Lord of the Rings), and I started crocheting the next square for my Pratchgan. I also got a request for a custom pair of earrings, and as soon as the rest of my art supplies are here, I'm going to work on those.

And speaking of that (and the title of this entry), I'm in the process of moving my stuff from the apartment to my parents' house. Unfortunately, it's a very full house here (my parents, grandparents, and sister live here, too), so I don't have much room for my stuff; a lot of it is going to have to go into storage (like my desk, my bookshelves, most of my books [if Josh isn't able to keep them at his parents' house], my pottery wheel, my polymer clay oven, and most of the random furniture and knickknacks and things in the apartment). I'm going to try to keep most of my art supplies here, but I still have to figure out where exactly my craft bins will go. My main worry is that I won't be able to have my books with me. My library is my favorite thing (I have 455 books- it's definitely a library, lol) and I hate the idea of not having most of my books handy. I'm definitely storing my mysteries (I can't read crime books anyway while withdrawing since they make me too depressed), but I'm just hoping Josh will have room for my fantasy and classics; at least that way if I want a book, he can bring it down with him when he visits me. I'm also going to miss my many Lord of the Rings posters; my mom won't let me stick anything to the walls. At least I'll still be able to have my fantasy plaques and my Legend of Zelda wall scroll- that way my parents' den will at least look like I live in it, lol.

But anyway, the other hassle is changing my address. I have to go to the post office sometime in the next week to change it so my mail goes to the right place, then when I get my bills in the mail I'll have to change those so the address is different, and I also have to change my address online (hopefully I can remember all the sites!) and call my doctor, the cat's vet, the SPCA (for the tracking chip in said cat) and various places like that. Sigh. I also might be losing my cell phone (I can't afford it), so I'd have to alert those kinds of places again later.

Hopefully I'll be finished some of the art I'm working on soon (depending on how creative I feel and when Josh can pick me up the extra yarn I need for the sleeves). When I do, I'll finally post some art pictures. :)
