Greetings from Clinton!
May. 16th, 2005 12:04 amI am officially moved. There are boxes in various stages of "open" and "unpacked" scattered around, but all my furniture is where it should be, I have things hung on the walls, I have food in my fridge and my cabinets, and I have broadband. And cable TV. And no landline. Observe my priorities. :)
I am also footsore, stiff, and achy, and my left arm is sunburned from the drive, so I look kind of silly.
Mom took digital pictures and has promised to email copies to me, so all will be able to see my apartment. It's not fancy, but it's comfy and I like it... although it's weird to realize that this is "home" now, pretty much. I choked up when Mom headed for home. When I came back in, though, I had a DVD rack to assemble, and since this involved screwing lots of pieces together and fitting a lot of other pieces in - and I forgot several pieces and had to unscrew the thing and get them in - I was quickly and thoroughly distracted. (Cable TV helped, what with Superman coming on. Christopher Reeve is the only man in the history of the world who looks good in spandex with the undies-on-the-outside superhero thing going on.)
The icemaker in the freezer keeps making me jump every time it dumps a fresh set of cubes into the tray. I'm not used to these things!
Tired.
Mmm, broadband.
