Moved in

Hi. Yeah, so, I still kind of don't have internet, but thankfully the next door neighbor has wireless and it is unsecured. I know it's the next door neighbor because Ray the Cable Guy told me. He came by to set up my TV and internet, but since it's a new building, Comcast won't be able to actually recognize the address til tomorrow, which means tonight I do not have Comcast internet, but I DO have all free access to all TV channels. Including HBO, etc. I didn't sign up for it but I got a free night just because they don't know I am here with a box yet. So what is the one movie that is on that interests me? "Airplane!". I love this movie. And the best is that it has all the irreverant humor and profanity still in it, no editing for HBO.

So today was my first day back at First American. The difference between this first day and the last first day was that when I needed my computer set up, I knew the person I had to call. And I have some orders openning, always good, AND Tricia is setting some appointments for us to call on some lenders. I see some success. That's a good thing.

I moved into the apartment this weekend. It was sunny up until about 3pm Saturday, when the movers were 2 hours late, and was really pouring when they were 2 1/2 hours late. So I stood in the rain and watched them load my stuff. It didn't take them long, but I was still soaked. It jump-started a cold, and I NEVER get sick. It stopped raining just as they were leaving. Nice. Spent the rest of that day and then Sunday unpacking the enormous amounts of CRAP that I have, it sickens me to see the stuff that I kept. And yet, only 1 coffee mug. What the heck is THAT all about? Plus, no silverware - none. I made a fake mocha (you know, the powder stuff) in the one mug and used a wooden spoon to stir it. I dropped a solid $200 at Target Sunday, and you know I'm not done there. Oh, and Sunday morning my hero, Mike, from Columbia Pest Control, came and blasted the hell out of the apartment and the outside of the building. I love him.

Things are coming along nicely though, what with the cable and all that. And of course the unsecured wireless connection from next door. There is more to do, my bedroom is coming along but still has a ways, and seriously, I have FAR too many sweatshirts, but all in all I am pretty pleased with the results at this stage. It's nice having "me" time as I am sure everyone will agree.

I am off to do my thing for the rest of the night (nothing). Tomorrow I get my hair colored for the first time since November 23, 2004, and let me tell you, I need it. For now, just looking forward to getting back in my bed, which by far is the greatest bed on the planet. I really missed it.
