Of Moving Woes
nI am suppose to be moving to Pennsylvania with my family in about a month (July 8th is suppose to be the proposed moving date, but it is not official yet.) My family got accepted for the house that we are renting, and my parents are going up on Friday to sign the papers, and meet the guy. I should be excited, and happy for the move right? A new beginning, a fresh start... all that good stuff? Well, to be terribly honest, I am stressed, frustrated, and scared.
I am stressed, and a bit frustrated because it feels like I am the only one in this household, really doing anything in my power to find homes for the rest of the pets that we have. (We have five pets, being, a dog and four cats, but we can only take two of them to the rental.) My mother and I have decided to take two of the cats, which leaves me to find homes for the dog, and the other two cats. It feels like the only help I am really getting is help from my friends. I have been posting up on rescue sites online, I made a post on Facebook about them, and told everyone that I know to spread the word, asked my coworkers, asked my friends if they needed a cat or a dog, I just really need to post flyers around the town. It feels like the rest of my family is either doing nothing, or just do not care. All my mom does is post the same status, over and over again on Facebook, and sit back to wait... she knows she does not getting any hits, or replies, but she does it anyway. She then hounds me, asking if I have found anything yet. No, mother, I have not gotten anything, nor have I found homes for the animals yet. Finding homes for an animal is a difficult process, and it could take a while. The very last resort would be sending the animals for the shelter, and that it was I fear...
I know there there is an overpopulation problem in the shelters. There are many stray, or abandoned cats and dogs that the shelters take in. Most Rescue Groups, and shelters are at capacity, and simply cannot take anymore animals in... or if they do, they (shelters, not rescue groups) will most likely euthanize the animals. I do not want that fate for the dog, or-+ the two cats. I think that is a terrible fate, and why I am determined to find homes for them, even if it kills me. I am hoping that my friend can still foster at least two of the cats when we do move...
Now, the next problem (even though it is not that big) is my job. Now, I am suppose to go to England in August (Augst 23rd to October 1st to be exact.) I still want to be working, at least until I leave for England. Now, the good thing is that I can simply transfer to the cafe over in PA. Now, this part gets a little unclear (at least, for me.) I asked my GM about the transfer, and if the other cafe should be notified of the trip. She said yes, and to just call her up back in October, when I come back from England, and the transfer will get started. I guess I worded the question wrong or something, but I will ask when I go in the cafe again, and tell her that if there is a way to get the transfer done before I go to England, so I can earn a little more money for spending before I go.
The third problem is one that I am a bit saddened about, which is leaving my coworkers and friends behind. I love all the friends and coworkers that I have in CT. I do not know what I would do without them. It is almost like they are my real family, in a way, and they have helped me out, and supported me (supported me through the long distance relationship, through the loss of my grandmother, even now.) I am afraid of making new friends up in PA. I am afraid that they will find me weird, or quirky, too nerdy, or geeky for their tastes. Yes, I like Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, A Song of Ice and Fire Series, dressing up to go to Renaissance Faire, Fantasy, playing MMOS and other various games, etc. I am a nerd, and I am proud of it... but then again, I am also scared of not finding any people who share some of these common interests with me. I am afraid of finding people who are too serious about life, who do not like the quirkiness in things, or appreciate the sillier, and random things that life has to offer. I am afraid that I will be judged for the long distance relationship with my husband. I know that I should not care about these minor things... I do not know why I do. Who knows, maybe I will develop some good friendships up in PA as well.
