I am a ball of angst.

I am getting stuff done on the packing front though, which is good.

Unfortunately, I cut the heel of my hand on the tape dispenser. So that's two stupid, painful injuries to my hands in as many days (and of course it's one on each hand -- I keep lancing the blister from last night's burn incident, but it keeps filling back up with crap). I am however managing to refrain from intentionally making things worse for myself though, which is a pretty significant achievement.

I keep trying to remind myself that a small, clean apartment with a regular cleaning person equals the same amount of liveable space as a large messy apartment. And Megan and I each have doors now.

Tomorrow night we're going to go up to the apartment with a tape measure and discuss layout and see what the fuck is up with the refrigerator situation. I'll also get the new cat things to bring up then, and will pay for the security gate installation. Perhaps I'll also bring my wood and iron key plaques that hang over my bed. They're one of two home decor items that I'm a) extraordinarily attached to) and b) I don't consider to be of my own selection (people in my head man), and they have become what makes a place homey to me. Maybe that will help.

*blink* uhm, is the security gate associated with the new cat things or something else entirely? if it is for home security, why are you having to pay? please clarify for the urban-ignorant.

Hope your hands heal soon!

We have fire escapes, we need gates on teh windows so peopel can't walk into our home from theirs.

Right, so why are you paying instead of the landlord? Seems like a basic must-have for a city apartment. Are they not standard? I mean, if they don't and bad things happen to you, won't it make their costs go up in nasty ways?

Not standard. Basically, when we move out,we'll try to charge the new tennants for them.

Also, they can be moved from apartment to apartment -- so we own the physical things.
