The cat is unimpressed.
Like, seriously unimpressed.
Why? Well, with Sage moving out, I've begun a reclamation of the house. Where none of their stuff remains, and it's all mine and AJ's. I began in the living room, and surprisingly, with their stuff gone, I can use my entire couch. Amazing.
But this weekend, was the dining room. I fixed the curtains hanging in there, and swept and mopped and even cleaned the table a bit. But my project, for the weekend, really was a shoe rack. I mean, I bought one from WalMart, brought it home, and there were pieces missing. So. Back to WalMart for an exchange, and then home to build it. Built it, and put the shoes on it, reswept and mopped the dining room, and all of a sudden, it's a clean room.
The curtains are hung right, the shoe rack is guarding the shoes. Next weekend? The kitchen. I doubt I'll put up a curtain in there, but I changed out the curtains in the living room too, so that there isn't a glare on my TV. That was this weekend's chore. So, the downstairs is almost complete. I'm taking it slowly because if I go too fast, I'll overwhelm myself. Today was washing bedding and other laundry, as well as video games. (I bought new bedding for AJ and finally put the "new" bedding on my bed. It's over a year old, so... yeah.)
Also, yesterday, I hung AJ's posters. So now he has AntMan and the Avengers watching over him. It makes him happy, and it cost me nothing to finally do it. (They hadn't been hung before, because Sage slept during the day, when I had time to do it.)
Sage... is not happy. Oh, they like having their own place, but they're not happy that I haven't completely fallen apart without them. Yes, it's harder, but it's not impossible. Also, I'm enjoying having the house to just me and AJ. We hang out, talk, and goof around. Last night, after my big clean out of the dining room, Sage stopped by. Asked what had happened to the dining room. I explained, and they just snapped that it wouldn't last and I'd live in junk piles again soon enough and stomped out.
I don't know what to do with this child. I really don't. It's like they can't be happy that I'm doing okay, or something. Not only am I doing okay, but things aren't that bad. They started in on how I hadn't changed the cat's pan. Well, I do that every Friday/Saturday night, before I go to bed. When I explained that, they snapped that I wouldn't do it. (Joke's on them, I did it.)
When I said AJ had taken out the garbage they snarled that I was making AJ do everything. Which, no. But he's capable of taking out garbage once a week or so. (Usually Saturday, since that's when we're cleaning up.)
I just don't know what to do with my kid. They're so hateful, and I know I'm not a bunch of sunshine, but come on.
Sigh.

Sage's issues are... Sage's issues. Not yours. Good for you, enjoying your time with AJ!
