Cheap Thrills
So the time in the old apartment has come and gone. While it's bittersweet: there were so many bad times and yet so much growing was done there. I'll miss the Crepe Myrtles.
So here is just a brief recap of how the move went. . .
The movers were scheduled for Friday between noon and 2. I continue to not hear from them and we find that at 5:00 they are 1/2 way across the metroplex- so that had to be moved to Saturday. They end up canceling on Saturday (word of mouth has it: they take the invoice away from Courtney, who had gone w/ Emilie while I stayed and unpacked. THEY WALKED OFF THE JOB!!!) There are just sometimes when I don't think that the karmatic payback is enough! I want ugly things for them.
Then Courtney pulls out of her darkspace (mainly because she didn't want me to stress any more than I had and two because she knew at that point that I wouldn't be able to dry it up long enough to get the big stuff moved) a truck and mover and a completed move. It got done- and cheaper than the original plan (well the cost of stress seemed rather great but...).
I had cable installed (and by cable I mean the 5 local channels that Comcast has hoarded for monetary purposes). As it turns out, by the virtue of living in an apartment built in the 50's er 60's, there is some kinda filter thing 'insert cable speak here' and I got basic cable for the price of just local channels. Yeah- damn the man, I am thrilled! I am so proud to say that I have Comedy Central and I will never have time to watch it.
I enjoy the new place, had a good date last Friday, and the cats have adjusted well- they enjoy the stairs (Stan wheezes 1/2 way up: not funny, but SO-O funny!).
