Things are looking up finally for us; we got ourselves a really nice apartment in a fairly new complex. I am very familiar with these apartments and have always adored them. There location is great just right next door to Borders Book Store and behind the grocery store we always go to so it is walking distance. Also it’s just a five minute walk to the mall. We have two swimming pools a cardio facility in the club house and two tennis courts. We finally have a dishwasher and laundry facilities in the building, and we have a balcony. Oh and it is a two bedroom, one of which will be my art studio. We have a corner unit meaning more windows! I am so glad we have something nice now verses living in old houses that the owners do not really keep up with.

I can have cats also which is nice. I have one right now Vincent which I have had for about two years now and plan on getting probably another one but long haired probably similar to Verbal but different colors and/or markings as I am not trying to replace Verbal because I know I can not nor have any intentions on doing so.

I will take pictures when we get more settled, and will be starting on some new art.

Also thank you to everyone who sent messages in regards to my situations, I really do appreciate it!

No I am not joking. I guess when it rains it pours in my life. I got a call from my bf that he was called and told that our apartment was on fire. I have been dealing with the loss of my 18 year old cat so I have been actually at my mothers house all week. I almost stayed at home on Friday but decided at the last min that i would go to my mom's again. Leaving my 2 year old cat at home.

When I got the call I started to panic thinking it was our apartment and Vincent (my cat) was going to die. My mom and I rushed over to my house which by that time the fire was out. I talked to the fire fighters and told them about Vincent being home and asked if he was ok. They told me one kitty didn't make it, it was my neightbors.

Our neighbors actually connected to our apartment by 2 doorways (theirs and ours) that went up to the attic. And our bathroom was right next to there living room. I was so luck that it was called in time and the fire didn't get to make it over to our bathroom. Though you can see how the bathtub in the corner had a little bit of burn marks so it looks as if it was starting to move over to our apartment but was put out in time. Also our bathroom window was cracked due to heat.

The fire was electrical from old wires I imagine and not being updated to our time and neglect of the house as well. Everything in our apartment smells like smoke and I have some water damage. We will not be able to move back in ever because of the damage. The house I think will be demolished. I am just glad it didn't start on my side, I am really lucky, as well as I didn't stay home and go back to sleep like I originally wanted to.

I am currently looking for a new apartment and will be staying with family for now. I just can't wait to get a new place and get my life back together. Till then now new art of course.

In other news Verbal my 18 yr old cat had his cremations done yesterday after noon. It was still had to believe he is gone but he lived a very long and very loved life and I will have his remains buried with me. :)
