MOVED!

I finally moved to the city where I'll be working..... successfully.

My step-brother and his "hired hand" came with a pickup and a nice 15-ft contractor trailer and we got all my belongings in just fine. We loaded everything in about 20 minutes and unloaded in about 25. It was a hot one out, but we got 'er done. It sprinkled on us a little, but not enough to get the stuff that was in the back of the pickup wet.

40 boxes, a bed, a few pieces of furniture, 4 diet cokes, and some goldfish crackers later (yes, I still eat Goldfish crackers from time to time...so what?), I sit in my new apartment. I've got the big stuff set up, but have yet to get all the little things in place. I also rented out a storage unit which has MORE than enough room to store some things in there that I don't want in my place at the moment.

Cable guy came to set up service this morning (only 4 hours late), so now I have TV and internet here.

Made a stop at the local Super Walmart and picked up some things that I felt I needed that were "custom" to this particular apartment (blackout shades, door mat, kitchen stand, etc).

I *think* I might be close to being back on a "day shift" sleep schedule for the first time in 5 years. Last night I went to bed at about 9:30 and was up at about 7:45. Feels great to sleep when it's dark outside!

Getting very anxious, nervous, excited, etc, etc... for my first day of work on Monday.

Back to unpacking. More later.
