Well it's been just over one week since I moved into the new apartment. I am way ahead of schedule as far as unpacking concidering where I was at this time the last time I moved. This is the second move in just under 2 years for me and the last time I moved it took me over 2 months to get most of my stuff unpacked just so I could walk around the apartment and now trip over a box. Right now it looks like I only have 4 boxes left to unpack. Of course there may be more in a closet that I haven't taken into concideration. In fact I think there is one in the front hall closet that I need to get out and unpack today. I've been looking for my electronic cigarette and that may be where it is as I haven't found it in any of the other boxes I've unpacked. I had forgotten about that box till just now.
I borrowed a TV from my upstairs neighbor. We are good friends and the TV that he's letting me borrow is one that he's not using. In fact it's his sister's but she doesn't use it either. I'm happy that I have the extra TV so I could hook up a TV for my kids in their room. The oldest one is here this weekend and is pleased as punch that he can play and be on the computer at the same time in his room. I have barely seen him since he got here. Only long enough for him to come out and get something to eat and then he's back in his room. I did make it clear to him that he can eat breakfast and lunch in his room but I expect him to eat dinner at the dining room table with me. There is no reason he can't eat with me. Most meals we eat take longer to cook than eat so 20 minutes out of his day isn't to much to ask. He's not happy with it but that's the rule that I'm going to inforce now that I have a kitchen table that's all cleaned off and in a place that I can use it. I haven't been able to use the table in about a year. It had become a catch all for stuff I didn't have place for in the kitchen, and other junk I just didn't know where to put. Now I have to find room for things and make sure that what ever I have doesn't get dumped on the table. I have a 3 drawer plastic thing that I have to clean out of junk and I'm going to put that out here to catch stuff I don't know where to put. I do have to move some stuff that I put in the Chifferobe because I plan on moving that to outside the bathroom as soon as I get help to move it.
Speaking of moving things, I'm not sure why I told people to put the bed where I did but now that I have been sleeping in it that way for over a week I don't like the placement of it and want to move the bed. My bed room isn't that big and I'm not sure how I'm going to get the 5 pieces of furniture in there and still be able to move around but I have to move it because the fug-sway isn't right. I'm not used to sleeping with the head of my bed the way it is and want to move it so it's on the opposite side of the room but not under the window. I'm finding out that there are only 3 outlets in the bedroom which is about 2 outlets to few. All the rooms are that way. There is only one outlet per wall even though code says that there is supposed to be one every 8 feet. I'm going to have to get a few more extension cords to make sure that I have enough power going to the things I need power to.
I love my apartment but am having a hard time adjusting to everyone being able to look in my windows. I need to get some curtain rods and curtains to hang. I have things that I had hung over the windows in my old apartment over the windows in the bedroom and I can hang the one back up on my bedroom window but the one in my sons room he's using to sleep with. If I can get him up later I'll dig out something else for him to sleep on so I can put up the blanket over his window. It will make the room real dark but that's the way I like to sleep and right now I have a light from a light post right outside my window shining in keeping me away. I'm not going to put it up though till I move the bedroom around and I hope I can get that done this weekend. I just have to round up some bodies to help. I can do some of it but it would be better if all I had to do was sit back and direct. My back would appreciate it very much. If I do move the furniture I know I'll be paying for it for a week. I guess if I want to go to church tomorrow I won't move anything today and I had better make sure I have nothing on the schedule for the next week. I don't think I do but I have to find my date book and make sure.
Well my big kitty that I call Fat Boy is up on the couch looking for attention so I'm going to stop writing for now. I'll let you know how the furniture move goes. If you don't hear from me for a week it may be because I can't type or lift my arms.
Have a great week.
