Homeward Bound

I wanted to start this post off with a picture of a delicious meal I made last night. Cashew Alfredo with roasted cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic. With a little dab of pesto for extra credit. It's one of the few vegan meals I can make that D will eat. He has the palate of an extremely picky toddler. I made this delicious vegan meal because I am celebrating signing a new lease. I've been working on a plan for about a week, and it's finally coming together.
I am moving to Salt Lake City Utah. I found a two bedroom apartment for less than half of what I would pay for an aPODment in Seattle. Seriously, they are renting "studios" that are 150 square feet for one thousand and over in this city. It's getting nuts. I don't feel like I can live a comfortable life here. So, Salt Lake City or bust. I will share so many more details once I'm settled, as anyone can probably imagine, my emotions are all over the place. I feel like I have been through a battle. My kitties an I are going to be reunited, and it's going to feel SO GOOD! I am moving next week, we're figuring out the exact day today. D is renting a van, and driving us there. I feel good about this. To be honest, I feel like although I am scared shitless, I feel I am doing the right thing for a plethora of reasons. I secured an apartment in the span of two days. The one I'm moving into was my second choice, not bad. I don't need a second bedroom, but I am a nerd and was thinking that the second room can be my blogging room/kitty play room!
I would never have been able to survive all of this without all the support, both on my GoFundMe page, and just all the emotional support. I really mean it. D can be a really difficult person to deal with, and he in some ways has put more stress on me than my whole situation, so thank you. I will never be able to express how much it means. It kept me going, and fighting. You guys saved me when I most needed it. Forgive me, I am secretly a huge cheesey, romantic comedy gal, and I feel like I'm about to start quoting some lines.
I went to a used computer store yesterday to buy a used laptop since the one I have been using isn't mine, and there was a PCC market across the street. PCC is a Co-Op that everyone can shop at. They have lots of bulk goodies, everything is organic, and they are a vegan MECCA! D told me to pick out a few things since I may not see these items again for a long time.

I love Tofurky!!!

Please forgive the pictures. My beloved camera got lost in the "move" and I'm back to my crappy cell phone pictures for now. PCC had several vegan cheeses I had never in my life heard of! I got some crackers, and today I'm going to have some fancy cheese and crackers!
Hopefully by this time next week, I will be settled into my new place, and back to blogging and being as happy as any of us can be in this crazy life.
