Almost home

09.16.07

Sitting here watching the game tonight and reading a comic book.  Doesn’t happen often, maybe once every ten years for me at this point in life.  Especially since I don’t buy comics but happened to find some at the library on Friday.  I also realize this is my next to last day of relaxation.  And it feels good.

Not that relaxation is a bad thing, but I’ve been going a bit nuts living in the Entertainment District.  Living in the small apartment makes me jealous of free-range chickens….and aware that I could never survive prison cells.  Not a chance.

But, sometime on Tuesday afternoon we should get the keys to our new home.  I can start moving our apartment belongings up and into the new house and getting things ready for our in-storage belongings on Wednesday and Thursday.  From then, I get to shine for a change.  Unpacking, including the physical lifting and moving of everything and organizing the house.

Yeah, I’m kind of nuts.  But boy will it be fun.
