Back in NC

Well I'm back from Chicago, it was fun. The moving part wasn't very fun but that was part of the trip. We got to go out to some places that we missed. It's weird, they've made a smoking ban in bars in Chicago and it's changed the whole atmosphere of certain places. So when we went out we didn't stay for long really. All in all the trip was good, and I enjoyed being away for a few days. It's nice to get out of town and have a change of environment. One good thing about this trip was picking up the rest of our stuff from the apartment. Now for the first time in well over a year all of my stuff will be in one place. I will have my dresser back! Clay will have all his tools. Now it's time to save some money and really get ahead of the game for a change. That will be nice.

Road Trip

Okay, not really, a plane trip. This weekend it's off to Chicago! A weekend of cold, possibly rain, and moving. Woohoo. Actually I'm excited about the trip, just not the moving part. We're both flying up, I'm flying back a couple days before Clay. He's driving the truck back. For the first time in well over a year all my stuff will be in one place. The running joke is that it's just in time to pack it up and move somewhere else. I am excited about the food, and going to a non state regulated liquor store. That makes me sound like a lush, but whatever. I like the fact that I can buy liquor on sale with coupons. That won't happen in NC. Competition is a good thing when it comes to retail pricing. Time to get the stuff out of the apartment and wipe one more bill of the board.

My tenant in LA has paid all his back rent. Finally! Now if I can keep him current he can stay. Otherwise it's time to go! I just want to sell the house and be done with all the headaches.

That's my life right now. My new position at work is going well and I'm learning a lot. I'll stay there at least long enough to be able to put it on my resume before I move to the next town. Life keeps moving forward. Let's cross our fingers that the tax gods smile upon me. Toodles.

2 weeks

Two more weeks then it's off to Chicago. I'm getting excited. It's going to be fun. It will be so nice to get away from NC, back to a real city. Plus to get to spend four days with Clay is going to be good too. Ahhh March, this year it is filled with all kinds of stressful adventures, but it's good. It will be nice to have all our stuff in one place. Just in time to pack it up and move it somewhere else.
