The Domino's Just Arrived

"I'm on my way, I'm on my way, home sweet home, tonight, tonight, I'm on my way, I'm on my way, home sweet home..." -Motley Crue- (Home Sweet Home)



The Domino's just arrived - the move is officially over...  ;)  One mushroom and one pepperoni people - nom, nom, nom...  :D  If you'd do me a favor and close your eyes for a moment (c'mon, just close your eyes)...  Well, I guess if you close your eyes, you can't read what I'm typing right now..., but if you just take a second to imagine almost everything that I own sitting in the middle of my apartment, that's EXACTLY what it looks like right now...  I woke up at 4:00 a.m. after just over 4 hours of sleep, packed the vehicle, and got my keys at 9:00 a.m.  I got a call from the Time Warner tech at just after 10 a.m. saying that he was running early, and he asked me if he could move our appointment up - okay, twist my arm.  Having brought my equipment with me from San Marcos, and having literally unplugged it from the walls right before I left, the cords were still in everything (modem, computer, t.v.).  My cable and internet were up and running by 10:30 a.m., a half-hour before my 11:00 - 12:00 window was supposed to BEGIN...  :D  I returned to San Marcos and filled out the paperwork to disconnect my utilities, stopped at Burger King (I eat well when I move), and then I returned to the apartment and took a one-hour nap since I was ahead of schedule and already tired.  Flight 2 departed from San Marcos at 2:00 p.m., and I arrived back in Austin, unloaded, and returned to San Marcos at about 5:00 p.m.  At this point I took another nap because I was tired AND hot (you should see my left arm, the one that the sun hit all day in my non air-conditioned vehicle)...  The forecast high was 102 degrees - I'm betting that it probably got there...  After I woke up I borrowed my friend George's truck to move my mattress (in unrelated news, Bobcat Nation will be mentioned several times in the coming months in this blog), and I returned to San Marcos from that round trip at 9:00 p.m.  I loaded my vehicle for the last time, cleaned the apartment a little bit more (Lindsey, my apartment isn't the most pristineiest - it's a word..., well..., probably not..., that I've ever left it, but I'd still put it up against most tenants that you check out)...  :)  Thank you again so much George and Lindsey!  I returned to Austin at about 11:40 p.m., called Domino's at 11:43 p.m., and right after I finished unloading my stuff for the last time today, my pizza arrived at 12:07 a.m.  What did you do today?  :)

I hope that you have a great day, and I'll see you Tuesday night with my first 'Could You?' from the ATX...
