Tuesday, July 20. Getting The Fuck Outta Dodge

well just like the saying goes, its time to get the fuck out of dodge. i went to sleep waaaay too late monday night. mom and brother came up during the day to prep stuff, and help box. mainly i showed them the new place and took a load over. spent the rest of monday night trying to package up my life again... for the third new place in three years...

spent the entire day tuesday moving boxes in the heat. dad rented a trailer to haul the big crap, used Wonder Van for the smaller stuff... my car for the stuff they just didnt want to be caught dead hauling. i think it was 3 trips... although it could have been done in two. the first trip, the van was full of my futon... and my surprise from my parents... A NEW FUTON MATTRESS! no more weak ass padding on that sucker! i mean, it surved my purposes [whatever they might have been] at night, but sleeping on that thing just wasnt comfortable. and now that i have the room for a real couch and nice stuff at my place, my parents thought it would be a nice thing to do. i actually really appreciated it. anywho. the boxes never ended. up and down a double long flight of stairs, no a/c, and its mid day. [the weather says its upper 80s.. its bullshit. in the sunlight.. its in the upper 90s]. anyway we GOT_UR_DONE. had a nice dinner with my parents at the new place. then spent the rest of the night finding things... and finding out what things dont work.

the list now includes... 3 of 5 overhead lights. 2 smoke detectors [cords dangling from ceiling, units left in middle of the floor]. both the door to the bathroom and my bedroom are broken and crappified... to the point that they wont shut. 2 light switches go to nothing at this point and turn nothing on [its rumored they go to one of the lights that doesnt work.. the other is a mystery to me]. no hot water, as for some reason the water heater doesnt kick on. i really thought it wouldnt bug me, seeing how hot it is. ha. take a bath in 63 degree water [yes, i measured] i seriously couldnt find my balls after that first plunge. but i made it through.... the worst part was washing my hair... i swear i felt ice. and ofcourse i have no internet!. however my phone works here. so anyone in iowa city is free to call me [as its a freebee local call]. msg me or call my cell for the number [as im not posting it for several obvious reasons on line].

so far the mass majority of my life is in carboard and piles. but the pc is up and going! as are the GnR posters on the walls. pictures have been taken. need to get some of the outside and surrounding area too. it will happen... just not tomorrow. mid american energy is showing up at 7am to look at the water heater, then i have to deal with my property managers about shit thats got to get fixed in here. then im working at noon..... TO CLOSE. assholes. whatever.



(((((addendum..... obviously, i have working internet now! and more pictures will be taken of the outside, or of the view i have atleast....))))))
