Alas! Yon Workspace, I Will Weep For Thee...

So there is something like an 80% probability we are moving in with my wife's parents this month. The situation grows grimmer then, as there is a probable chance we will either move into a spacious, quiet room with its own shower/sink cove or her brother's bedroom, which is very small, and located in one of the noisiest parts of the house. If only the latter is available, then POOF! no more workspace for me, as we'll only have room for a bed and dresser(s). Argh.

However, if we get the large bedroom, there will be plenty of room for me to work. In either case, storage may be a problem-- both materials storage and cat storage.

Yes, we have an issue with cat storage at this time. As it stands, we have one cat too many. A cat that we love as a member of our family, though we cannot keep. And so the possibilities from here are heart-wrenching at best. We know plenty of people who love cats-- but already own cats, and are unable to adopt her. Also, we don't want to give her away to strangers or to the cat pound (where she would, in all likelihood, be put to sleep). Times like this I wish we could scan the cat and save her as a PDF on our hard drive, possibly in some desktop folder labeled as "Saved Cats." And once we have a place of our own again, simply type in Load Cat and presto.

bummer! Is the move b/c of you both being in school?

Yeah. For instance, the apartment we looked at today, the one in our price range, had only a sink in the kitchen. No stove, no fridge. So, more of a "sink room" than a kitchen. There was a front door, an entrance way and then a second door that used the same key to open. It was way beyond bizarre. It seems like our best option right now is live with my parents for awhile, save money, and then use the saved money next year to rent somewhere with, you know... a stove!

So how would that "kitchen" work? Mini fridge and microwave? That is very weird. I hope the big room stays open! Just remember that one day you guys will be all lawyered and doctored up and have a super sweet kitchen all to yourselves!
