Yeah Risque Yeah

I am using the lappy on some neighbour's unsecured wireless. We has internets but since I'm the resident Tech Guy™ (even though he works HELP DESK), the router is not set up yet. But we've got other things that need to be done before I go running cables willy nilly.

We were supposed to have gotten pictures for our records and for owner (to go with our walk-thru checklist), of the place empty before we moved stuff in. But as J started the move in on Friday, the day before I got here, and I had the camera that time stamps, it didn't quite work out that way.

So, today, we've got to move stuff around to create empty rooms so that I can get said pictures taken. That's just going to be more annoying than anything, but it's gotta be done. Besides, I don't think I like where I placed my bed, so it needs to be moved anyhow.

I did something to my leg, or more specifically my knee, somehow, yesterday. I suspect that it may just be the arthritis I was told I had, years ago, that only occasionally bothers my hands, that has adventured southward. It feels perfectly fine if I keep it hot. I just sat in a hot bath for a while, and now I've got it wrapped up and with space heater pointed directly at it. Any cold touches it, or if it thinks of cold, it either locks up, or collapses.

I can't think of anything I could have done yesterday that was out of the ordinary, other than I didn't get much sleep the night before. I mean, seriously, if I was going to injure my knee wouldn't it have been in the last few weeks when I was tromping up and down that damn hill and getting stuck in rocky washes, or tromping around the murals in the snow? Not watching Al and J carry heavy shit up the stairs. Seriously.

Well, it's just going to have to suck it up, cause I gots shit to do, mang.

We now join our regularly scheduled moving, already in progress.

To re-cap.

A little over three weeks ago we went to look at the perfect condo for rent by owner. A few weeks of negotiating later and it was ours. However we have to have the deposit and first month's rent up front so we're moving out of current place now to save up the money so we can move in on the weekend of December 19th. I'm leaving today and going to stay with my mother in Arizona for the 4 weeks, J is leaving here on Monday morning and then is staying at a friend's place here in town for the same time period.

I'll be taking my computer to mother's house so I'll be online for working and stuff while there. Hopefully we will get it timed properly so we won't be without internets too long once we move into the new place.

This will be the longest time period that I will have spent in my mother's company since I was 18, so hopefully we won't kill each other. However, it's been a terrifically difficult week as I ended up getting sick right before we got the official YES and began official packing, and J was working overtime the entire week and wasn't here. So I'm looking forward to the quiet of my mother's house in the middle of the Arizona desert.

So, goodbye lovely little apartment suites complex that treated us well for just a week shy of a year and a half. It's been the nicest and friendliest apartment management staff I've ever dealt with and aside from the smallness of the apartment, and a few months of a rowdy neighbour, it's been awesome.

Stayed a little longer here than we would have liked, but it worked out for the best, made our rental history look even better, and landed us a new home at which we'll put down some serious roots for a while.

This is almost turning into some sort of awards acceptance speech so I might as well thank some people, heh.

Both of my parents have been awesome through this, mother with the providing me a place to stay for a bit, and Curtis with the always being there for me to talk to. And Mouse, and Selene, and Spanky and SCSi, and everyone else I've forgotten for being there for babbling.

And lastly but MOSTLY, girlperson and boyperson for helping out with our little furry child, that has been more help and appreciated than I even have proper words for and I'll probably be trying to find said words for a while. And that J guy, for just being the most awesome roommatebestfriendwhateverguy ever.

THANK YOU LAS VEGAS AND GOODNIGHT!

(see you from Arizona)

Had talked J into going to First Friday, it's the first time I actually went instead of just working the trolley.

After getting ridiculously lost cause the bus had construction detours, we finally got to the outdoor festival. Had some tacos, had a booze. I had a delicious Baily's and coffee and he had a rumandcoke. Looked at pretty trinkets, watched some breakdancing, listened to a yelly poem from a guy on stage who apparently has a tiny penis and needed to yell about it. There were crazy FREE HUGS people around, and one yelled that they were giving out Lice and Herpes, and I got hug attacked by them. So apparently I got lice and herpes at First Friday. It was pretty fun, just nice to do something random and nonOMGVEGASy.

Home now, tired.

We may go look at a condo for rent by owner tomorrow. J stumbled across the listing sorta by accident. It's in our price range, it's on a good bus route, it's walking distance from our favourite grocery store. He called and left a message this morning before he left for work, owner called back while we were at the festival so he didn't hear it and it went to voicemail. She said to call tomorrow before 10am and we might get to go give it a look.

I dunno if we can even afford movein costs right now, but if the owner likes us maybe we can work something out. It's probably unlikely but it's really a perfect price and location, so I can hope a little.

And then grocery trip on Sunday. It would make sense to do it tomorrow if we're looking at the condo right next to our store. But we take rolly luggage to grocery shop with, and that might be kinda crass to go look at a condo, while dragging luggage. O HAI WE THOT WE'D MOVE IN NAO.

well we had fun at the lake, i hadden't been there in years and ov course spanky never had been

we took i think 82 pix
they are running onthe guest cam at the moment

hmm i'm begining to feel kinda sad about leaving my piano behind, but i talked to my father about it and he said he'd get my piano tuned soon for me, my house isn't big enough for the piano, so i'll have to wait till a year or so when i moved again, hopefully to a place big enough to have my piano *smiley face*

very odd feelings here, not believeing this is actually my life, this place feels more like home than anything has in years but, i still feel like that maybe it's some giant hotel suite and i'm going to have to go home eventually

eris, this is your home, i keep having to remind myself, oftentimes outloud, this is my laundry room, that's my kitchen, i have stairs, i sat on the stairs and stared into the living room to see if the world looked different from there

leave it to me to bitch when things are good, hehe

i think i'd kinda like to make a bit of appy polly logies here, even tho most of you may not have noticed, when i get really stressed out and/or upset i just clam up on the site, offically, a few friends on irc get to hear it .. the thing is the reason i want to post it is not the reason it would be taken as, when i need to talk and need to vent i don't need/want your Sympathy or Charity, i just want to vent and in this little cam world i don't feel that that is always possible, so i deal silently, or not so silently but not in public then return to tell the tale

i'm me today and i like myself, how are you?

:) i fell very much asleep after last post
i'm taking a break out of packing here to update

talked with boss at mrradio.com this morning and as of today i'm on psuedo vacation again till things get back set up, got my equip from n00dleboy's house and today they're testing line strength for the DSL

ok today, mexican and n00dle just left with the coffee table, a dresser, and my computer, and some other stuff, they didn't fit my desk in yet, i'm supposed to be getting the couch ready to be taken over there when they're done, and also i'm going to get a bunch of kitchen stuff fortobetaken over (taken home :D)

the phone should be on today we think, also i need to find out if earthlink has dial-up numbers for that town or we're gonna hafta get a new dialup untill the DSLorCableorWireless gets in, when we move us and bed over is probably going to happen as soon as we have internet access there, hehe

uk,uhm,ok
