New Lease on Life...

Hey People. Hope you all are having a grand day. I sure am. Just an update on the move. It was all completed on Saturday. I signed the lease on Friday and the realtor was nice enough to give me the keys early. Jeff and I went to the Streamline to celebrate the occasion. I tell ya it was a nice feeling to get the keys to my own apartment. With that being said, I called work and asked if we could rearrange my schedule so I could get the move over with. They were very accomodating and let me have Sat, Sun, and today off. Fortunately, I had the power and cable scheduled to be turned on today. Without the internet, was all the motivation I needed to get the place completely set up. The power was already on, so that helped a good bit. Thanks to the help from Jeff, Rob, Missy, Danny, and Tex we got everything from Clay's house to the new apartment in about 2 hours. Fortunately I only live a half a mile away from his house. With the boys help we got the majority of the stuff packed up in totes unpacked in a matter of a few hours. With Missy's help I got the bedroom basically set up. We stopped working on the place around 730p. I believe I crashed for the night around 1030. I woke up on Sunday morning and did what I do best, which is bounce around the house and completed getting everything out of the totes and put in it's place. While doing everything, some of my friends stopped by for a visit. Everyone seems to love my bathroom because of the fixtures. Brian, Mike, and Chuck swung by during the early afternoon. By 7pm, I was completely finished. Got the projector and all the gadgets that go with it set up and in place. Greg and Jason came over from Deltona to have some dinner. Rob and Jeff joined us. We cooked 4 steaks and 2 chicken breasts on the big George Foreman that I have all at the same time. We made some macaroni and cheese, pasta salad, steamed vegetables, tossed salad, and I baked up some french fries. Dinner was splendid. After dinner, I put in my favorite movie since the boys haven't seen it. We were practically in tears pissing our pants. If you have never seen SORDID LIVES, then you must rent it or buy it....it will be one for your collection of best comedy. The boys left around 1am and of course I crashed. I must tell you that I am very excited about the apartment. I am glad I chose the one with no bedroom windows. My bedroom is nice and dark. The living room is small, but I have it arranged to make it a little bit more comfortable. My couch and loveseat are really too big for this small room. The kitchen is awesome because it has the bar in it. It is nice to chit chat with those in the living room and see them from the kitchen. I have plenty of cabinet space and the pantry is huge. There is a nice linen closet outside of the bathroom and it has a closet in the bathroom. It is where the air handler is and also the device that is my tankless water heater. It is supposed to save on electricity to not have to store hot water in the tank. I guess you can call it Hot Water On Demand. The laundry room is literally right around the corner from my apartment, along with the dumpster, and mailboxes. Well, I will post a quick video tomorrow of the place. I am about to hit the sack. Peace out!
