So today is the day.
It's move out day!
Temporary move out day.
Yes. You ain't getting rid of us that easy.
I am considering applying to the Fashion Institute of Technology, which is in
Manhattan, but am still apprehensive about moving out, especially if it's the New York
City. So my parents have come up with the idea for Riley and I to do a trial run for a
couple of weeks to see if we can get comfortable with the idea and potentially,
like living there.
This is furnished for y'all.
Yeah. So you don't need any big stuff.
This is just to get acclimated.
That's big stuff. Oh, you're bringing the dog.
How many?
I think we're just going to bring Koda because I don't want to take two crates.
That's true.
I absolutely feel hesitant If I'd have to move out on my own for school just because
it's New York and it's densely populated and there's so much that can happen in just the
blink of an eye. So I think with safety concerns is that my anxiety is high.
I think everybody needs to go pack.
Yep. It's time to pack.
Ready? Go.
I think we're happy to see them try a new adventure and you know, the next stage.
I'm definitely worried.
I'm excited. I mean, honestly, I think it's good because they are taking baby steps to
actually, like permanently leave our house and move on with their lives.
And hopefully this is a good step in that direction.
Steps for all of us.
Yes.
We need to pack everything to do this trial move out situation.
And besides just regular clothes, I have to take kitchen appliances.
I have to take my sewing machine, I have to take blankets, I have to take pillows.
I think it's freaking him out. He's like, My stuff is in that box.
Are the two of us. I think Shauna is probably more prepared to move out.
I feel like emotionally, financially and just packing wise, I'm bad at all of those.
Should I bring my giant blanket?
Sure.
She threw things in a garbage bag.
Oh.
They don't have little pockets or.
No, it's a big pocket.
It's a giant sack.
You see, You just kind of throw things in it and you go, Yeah, now travel and you do it.
You would give me anxiety.
I think I give you anxiety.
Anyway, that's probably true.
I give myself anxiety.
Am I taking both blue chairs?
How about if. You just take one.
So you can use the other.
One?
I have a small, like, toddler like tea set kind of style chair for my kitchen and my
bathroom. Put it in the pile.
I'm usually either using the small blue chair or I'm using the counter to just grab
things quickly.
They come.
In handy.
Everyone uses my chairs.
I have a feeling that I will eventually have to purchase a step stool because our parents
will take them. Oh yeah.
Take this with you. You never know when you're going to have to reach something that
is out of reach.
I'll just climb the extension.
Grabber I actually thought was a great idea.
I was wondering why she didn't have one herself.
So.
All right, let's do.
This, Ramblers. Let's get rambling.
Yay!
Good boy.
You guys are gonna realize how much dogs cost.
When the family and.
I started to leave Long Island, I started to feel a migraine, kind of come on.
It was kind of there all day, but it definitely increased the closer to the city
we got.
It's the one with the yellow stairs.
Hey.
Hello. Dad.
This short term lease is not the typical first apartment.
No, I think that if Shauna is going to school, she's going to have some roommates.
And roommates will afford you to have a better place to live than you would on your
own. And I just want them to get a taste of what the city is like.
Are you ready, Cora?
So they found a place.
They need a little extra. We kind of threw a little in for her.
For them and.
Off they go. Bye.
Let's go take a look.
Not that way. Okay.
Okay. What?
Doorbell. This is your new place.
Wow. Well, let's take a look.
This trial apartment we can only afford for a short term period.
I don't think that if we moved out, that our first apartment would be anything like this.
Nothing like this.
This. This is very nice.
No food, really?
Come with it. So we have to go shopping.
Fenced in yard for Koda.
We'll go upstairs.
When it comes to this apartment and my height, the sink can be a little more
shallow. And I know that everyone wants, like a deep kitchen sink, but, like, that's a
little difficult for me.
Shower heads a little high.
Well, we have that extension, so we'll put that in.
When we were looking at houses, one of the things that Shauna kept keying on were the
showers.
That is the most inconvenient thing in the world.
So I wanted her to get the feeling of, well, if you have your own place, you can modify it
to how you'd like it to be.
So I got an extender.
I want the bathtub.
I hate the bathtub.
It's.
I do not like it.
Oh, that's.
Awesome.
Mark will like to live here.
Walk in closet.
Are those drawers open?
I do think the closet.
If it didn't have that drawer section, I wouldn't be able to use it.
But if you put in the ability that I can use chairs and jump on counters, then I'm almost
fully capable of doing anything in that apartment.
Is that noise?
Steam heat.
It's super annoying.
My migraine was.
Not the best on the car ride.
I felt very nauseous and when we had gotten out of the car, I thought it had gotten
better. But it was the minute we stepped into that building and it had steam plumbing
that it just it erupted.
For some reason.
I don't think he could do these stairs.
Get down the stairs, please.
I'm looking down and you're talking to me.
That's not a good combination.
Why? Because I have a.
Migraine When it comes to my specific migraines, they do start as a small headache.
And then the pressure builds and it feels like someone's knocking on your head and,
like, pounding. And then it starts to feel like your brain is boiling.
And then this specific migraine with let's move things, let's make noise, let's make you
make decisions right now.
And that's like really difficult to wrap my head around when I can't even, like do two
plus two at that time.
Let's get everything in here, and then we'll go from there, okay?
All right, let's do it.
Uh, what are we doing with him?
Riley, Just hold him.
Shawn. I can hold him.
Yeah, you can. Just stay in here. I know you're here.
I know you got. I know you got a migraine, so we'll just.
Let's do this. Okay, Let's do it.
Can you carry that?
Just go to.
This is why we don't do this.
We started to get everything in the house and started to unpack and we decided to do the
kitchen and things got a little tense for Shauna.
Can you even remember?
Oh.
This isn't mine. The tipping point with the stress that was making the migraine a little
worse was opening the boxes and seeing everything disorganized and dusty.
You guys could have washed all my stuff.
I didn't watch.
Any of it being downstairs.
I could tell that everything was peaking right then.
This is not my juicer.
Oh, you can keep it here.
That's yours.
It just made me feel like my parents didn't know me just for a hot second.
And that was enough for me to, like, just be done.
All right. So do you want to go shopping and get some food?
Okay, good.
The migraine was so intense.
And then because of the stress, I lost my patience with my migraine.
Shauna, you need food.
