Home Crap Home

Here we are, back to apartment living. Friday, our world kicked into high gear and we got our house rented out, moved 90% of our crap into storage, and moved 10% of our crap into a new apartment. To sum it up, it’s worse than I thought it would be, but not so bad that I’m miserable. :)

We’re not going to try and make this place a home. It’s just a storage room. We’re here for a month to a month and a half and then it’s off to the new house!

So, when did apartments start doing things based on supply and demand? I mean, I don’t blame them, but it’s just kind of funny that a one bedroom was $1900/month, and a two bedroom was $1000/month!? LOL I asked, “Well, crap, how much are your three bedrooms, then?!”

So, today, we got our internet and cable tv back. God it feels good to be back. We got nice cable and nice internet this time, too. ;) Tomorrow I get to test if all my remote configurations still work.

Last thing left before we put ourselves in deep freeze for the trip to the new house is to turn over the old house to the renters. Should be doing that next day or two.

Well, we’re back now in the desert wasteland and the heat is here waiting for us. The trip to Show Low was very needed. To sum it up in a word, it was rejuvinating I think for both of us. We’ve been talking about how much that place does for us since 2001 and I feel the same way still. It’s really pretty perfect for us. It has all the amenities we need, and the climate is more mild in both the summer and winter. Heidi would get her four seasons, and I would get my solitude. Now, to make it happen. We’re crafting a plan as we speak! :) heh

We got to visit with our friends up there which was nice, and we got some family time too which was also nice. It was nice to spend time as a family and not worry about all the crap we worry about here at home. So, at the very least we’ve vowed to go up there once a month or two.

That is all… I have to get back to work around here. I just heard my wife say, “It isn’t working…” referring to the Media Center… Ahhhh tech support… Chat at you guys later.
