It's worse than camping

Well, ok, maybe not THAT bad. It's day 18, and I still do not have my stuff. It is still in the possession of Advantage Moving & Storage in Atlanta. They have promised me that it will come on Thursday. The day after tomorrow. I'd hate to be them if it does not.
So, what is it like living in my new apartment and going to my new job without 95% of my life, you ask. Well, let me tell you. I did manage to squeeze a few things in the Honda Civic. (For a small car, you can really cram that thing full.) I did plan ahead and, thanks to the recommendation of my cousin, purchased an Eddie Bauer air mattress. It's not so bad. It's not my bed, but it's better than the floor. If anyone comes to visit, they can check it out for themselves. I do have my skillet, saucepans and a frying pan, so I am able to cook. I did have to get some knives and a big spoon though, so I wouldn't have to resort to tearing things apart or stirring hot things with my fingers. I am eating off of paper plates and bowls, however, with plastic utensils. And let me tell you, paper cups make wine taste funny. Thankfully, I brought some coffee mugs and my coffee maker (the first thing I put in the car), so I am set for my morning fix. Since the movers have my coffee table and my "big" TV, I have my tiny TV setting on a folded up cardboard box. The cable box is sitting on a McDonald's McNugget box. Up until this past weekend, I was sitting on a beach chair. Saturday I picked up a couple of really nice chairs at Pier 1, so now I am higher off the floor, and a little more stylish. If anyone wants to contribute to the Michelle Needs a Sofa Fund, let me know, and I'll send you the address. I have my computer, but the movers have my monitor, so I haven't been able to be online except for at work (staying late to write this). I miss my monitor.
I was able to squeeze a couple weeks worth of clothes into two suitcases, so I have only now repeated a couple things at work.
So that's it. Just me and the cat, waiting less-than-patiently for the rest of our belongings to arrive. Thursday can NOT come soon enough. I wish it were Thursday right now!!!
Cross your fingers for me!
