The Insurance Inventory is Finished (for the moment)! Happiness Ensues!

[red_satin_doll]

Or rather it would ensue if I wasn't so freaking exhausted. But it's sent off and done. (the contents list was actually my partner's thing that were destroyed in the fire and covered by her renters' insurance, but I was doing the work on it while she goes off and earns a paycheck, bless her.)

I know I didn't get everything on their but they only pay so many anyway and there just comes a point where I couldn't. COULDN'T get it all on there.

My sweetie just called and said we'd go out to dinner to celebrate, yay. And I'm still in my pajamas.

In other news: way way behind on fic, vid and other recs for y'all, so I plan to resume after the weekend.

The second honeymoon we were enjoying in this apartment of my partner and I sleeping together (in a double bed) for the first time in years has ended already: I snore and it wakes her up too often and then she's tired at work. I admit I cried a little. So it's back to separate beds for us. I'm on an inflatable this time in our erstwhile office, which feels like I'm a visitor here. The upside is I'm in the room with the laptop and can stay on after she goes to sleep - given the fact that I stay up very late reading fanfic, that probably isn't such a good thing after all! And, I miss the cuddling. I love her, I do, but god I'm human. We hadn't cuddled every morning like that in almost ten years. It does a number on a girl.

And I miss the comfort brand new down mattress and pretty duvet cover, a rare luxury (and necessity) for us. I know there are millions of people in the world who don't have a bed to sleep on and I keep reminding myself of that!  But, only human here.

Yay for happiness and celebration and finishing the inventory!

I mean, you go through destruction, then you have to do that frickin' chore.

I'm sorry you can't cuddle up with your Sweetie... Is there a way to make laptops cuddly? Y'know, for small comforts? And as someone who's spent a terrifying amount of time on inflatable mattresses, I fell for you, because before long, those things are the devil.

It's totally okay to be upset about that! We're humans, we're selfish, we need snuggles to sustain life - scientific fact right there.

Thank you sweetie! It's so kind of you to have sympathy for my stuff when you're going through, like, whoa, major shit. (At least to my mind. being pretty much housebound? That's been me without the tube for about a year, so - ugh.)

And yes, that inventory was kind of a nightmare. Even if you take photos of everything I don't know that it would be enough. that doesn't tell you what you paid back then and where (which they want) and what you'd have to pay now and where. thank god you can get almost anything on amazon. I wished I'd had a more organized brain.

Is there a way to make laptops cuddly?

Hah. funny you should say that; She whipped out her ipod this morning as she always does lately, and talked about having her laptop next to the bed again like she used to in the other apartment. (She went from disliking and avoiding technology - refused to even own a microwave until ten years ago - to getting up every morning and immediately getting on the computer.)

Now I'm imaging a fuzzy pink laptop cover. That would make her just scream and run the other way. *lol*

Actually we tried to sleep together last night but left and slept on the inflatable half the night because she said she couldn't stand my snoring etc. So that idea went out the window. Points to her for not kicking me out, but she's the one with a job outside the house so she really needs to get her sleep. And she has chronic pain in her back, hips, legs etc. I really do feel for her.

But at least we got to sit up together and watch a documentary on Netflix before going to sleep. that will still be our cuddle time!
