Chris was excited about moving out on his own. Remington and Lily were also very excited for him. Lily was discussing Chris moving out with her mother and made the comment, "Chris is really growing up." Yes, Lily, he is.
Before Chris knew he had gotten approved to move in, I took Remington by the apartment complex. Remington was very impressed with the location. As we left the complex and drove South on Memorial, Remington pointed out all the places of business that were convenient for Chris.
There is a Sonic and QuikTrip just up the road, and should he ever get sick, a Walgreens on the corner. Also at that same intersection is a Subway should he become hungry. Nearby is a tattoo place should Chris ever desire to adorn his body with artwork. He can also have Psycho cat groomed nearby.
Continue on and we pass the nursing home where Chris volunteers and also Whataburger where he works. Remington also noticed the Psychic reader should Chris want his fortune told and in the event he ever gets married and decides it wasn't a wise choice there is a divorce lawyer nearby. Yep, Remington thinks that Chris has easy access to anything he should need.
So moving day! It took a couple of truck loads and van loads to get his stuff over there. It went pretty well. We almost beat the rain - last truckload was all that got wet and not to bad. Now, it had been decided that Chris would take one of our cats with him when he moved. We decided the best choice would be Psycho Cat. Now, keep in mind this cat has never ever been in a vehicle. She has ventured outside the door but quickly goes right back in. So getting her to Chris' was very interesting.
We had put the seats in the van down and was able to load the pub table and three chairs in the van. Last load so the cat has to go too. Chris was able to catch the cat and holding her close he took her to the van. He gets seat-belted in and clutches the cat close to his chest. Then Gary started the van. This is when Psycho Cat became quite psychotic.
She clawed her way out of Chris' embrace and made her way to the back of the van where she threw herself from one chair to another until she spotted the window. At this point she let out a loud MEEOOOW and threw herself at the window only to fall on the floor. She started racing around the chairs again only to end up throwing herself at the window again with a loud MEEEOOOW and then again thud to the floor. She finally made it to her new home.
Chris and Psycho Cat are now settled into their new home and getting along just famously. The first week has had Chris send Gary and I a frantic text one day because he couldn't find the cat. It seems that maintenance people came to work on hot water heater or something and the cat got under the sink and thus under the kitchen drawers. When Chris pulled out the bottom drawer she jumped out! But all-in-all Chris and Psycho are doing well together.
