Alive!

Well, I am moved out. Not quite in yet, but making progress. I have whittled my life down considerably from when I lived in a house, but it needs to go down further.

I still have way too many books! Some have left at the "A buck a book" sale at a friend's party, but there are many more possible ones to leave. Some people are overjoyed -- others want more nonfiction. I tend to hold on to any nonfiction that will be useful for books, but promise to evaluate the nonfiction somewhere down the line.

Just got the computer working today. I feel like I have a zombie computer with all the cables running to it; it could not find the wireless to save its little life. So I got it a LONG Ethernet cable, and now it will talk to my friend's UVerse. The UVerse Television is not talking to my ancient Emerson -- a new box is in transit.

Waiting on the ADT techie for my friend -- then back to the storage unit, and the grocery, finally, because we have a backup fridge! LMT client tonight.

I hope this makes sense, I am finding all kinds of weird errors like complete words instead of adverbs. Apologies -- I am in haste!

I find I live very close to a Half Price Books. This could be dangerous....

Having lots of small thoughts about Curse Book. Allie is reading her mail from Shaw, and expects me back soon.

Missed you all!

moving is such a pain... hope that things settle down and the electronics behave!

It is, and I have to do it again this year, at least once.

Learning to be flexible about big issues, and where to keep things! It will make me more organized in the end --

you could do what my sister creature does, she never unpacks a box, and just perches. And then buys new stuff because she can never find what she has packed. Then if she has to move again, its already to go, but then she has to box up the top layer as it were.

She has been in the house now for 18 months, and I believe has unpacked one box.

Happy move settling-down - may you not get move-crud! May your neighbours be nice ^^

My housemates for these four months are very nice! We will see beyond that date where I end up.

Look at it this way - you get a faster network connection over the ethernet cable than wireless, anyway. :-) Good luck settling in.
