So far so good

The move went smoothly. A couple of people didn't show, but I really don't own enough for two less bodies to have made much of a difference. Got the truck packed up (which was bigger than the bedroom in and of itself lol), and no complications in unloading.

The room here is 197% the size of my old room... Seriously. Freakin' huge. I almost suffered from Agoraphobia the first night... Fear of the wide open space... My room has more than "bed" and "door"... I have two SIDES to this room. Is awesome. The pool is bigger than I expected it to be. 36' by 16'. So that is really nice, can't wait to go swimming. Which with the temperature expected to be near to 31 tomorrow, will probably be tomorrow.

Got my TV set up, nothing to set it up with, mind you. I'm thinking I'm going to have to take my X-Box back from Brigham either way, because the truth of the matter, is that I need something to entertain company. I will actually -have- company here. Holy shit!!

Saturday after the move, four of us went on to East Side Mario's for dinner (I hadn't eaten at all saturday until near to 11pm - which made me feel bad, cuz we got to the unloading side, and I couldn't do -anything-... I sorted out the room)... Was a nice meal out with friends, chatting, getting along, shootin' the shit.

Sunday I did some unpacking, hung out with alei, gave her daughter a sword cuz she's a huge BLEACH fan, and I have two Zanpaktou from that series. Simple view: One sword in a collection, is one sword in a collection. One sword to a 16 year old girl, is a treasure. I remember my first sword, I still treasure it.

Monday saw me in bed the night before at 10pm, but not asleep until near to 4am. And awake at 7am. Did breakfast with alei, who apparently hates subway breakfast sandwiches... LOL Was supposed to hang out with Neal, but was so bloody exhausted, that I ended up sleeping after my internet was connected. Which was a huge ordeal. Took the guy almost four hours. Which was because the Bell wiring into this household was a bloody mess. Alas... What can be done?

I have internet now. I need to call to get it upgraded to the appropriate speed tomorrow, though.

So far, I'm good. So far I have no problems. But that is so far.

I can admit that things can go to hell still. Though I don't know how. This place is self-sufficient.... I buy my own groceries, I have my two shelves in the fridge, I likely have my own cupboard space (though haven't inquired yet), Kathie is willing to wait until July to get all of the last month's rent, so I can catch up on bills and have food to feed myself... They're both nice, laid back, and openly honest. So what could go wrong...

Well... They may not like my hermit-like lifestyle. I may not get around to the small things wanted done around the house and it may end up getting brought up, and that may cause a problem, but that should be easy to move past... Uhm... I seriously don't know... I learned some things living with Brigham... I do my own dishes as I dirty them, now. I keep to myself, so on so forth.

They may not like me having the odd company over for a swim and hanging out... But her daughter comes over with her friends, so there shouldn't be a problem, right? RIGHT!? Oh please be right...

Garbage is done by the ghost roommate. I've not met him, and he's apparently very hermit like as well. I can live with that, though. It's fine, one hermit to another, that is.

There's a plaza less than five minutes from the house. KFC, Subway, a pizza place, two convenient stores, a pharmacy, and a Tim Horton's. Like, seriously... How can shit get better? There's my meal plan for days I don't want to cook. And currently, my meal plan until the first when I will have a few bucks to do some proper shopping. Well, a lil anyways.

June will be tight, purely because of paying first and last, and having to catch up on bills from the Newmarket place. Hydro can wait until August. Phone and Internet will have to be caught up by end of July, which should be more than doable.

Aside from that... Things are good. Very good. I'm suspicious of it. I mean, seven months of hell with Brig in the country... Anything is good. Maybe I have star-eyes and am just seeing the shininess in all of this. But, it really does seem good.

On the relationship front, or lack thereof... It's going as I knew it would. Or as I predicted, anyways. She's still resistant. Which she will be for some time. However that hardly has anything to do with it. We finally have the clear communication on what -may- be. Finally. Finally no mixed signal, FINALLY got it done.

I'm not holding my breath. I'm not going to shun another possibility purely because there's a "maybe" in the air. But it works so much better than "yes. I mean no. I mean yes. I mean no. I mean yes." to actually have a "Maybe." means it's no longer a revolving door confusing the hell out of me. It's an elevator. LOL

So much simpler, and I like simple. I like simple so much.

Did I mention I got my tv working with the universal remote? I forget if I did and am too lazy to scroll back to check. It's working, I have very basic cable (maybe 50 or so channels)... And I considered connecting it to the computer. Except it turns out my video card doesn't support S-Video. So YAY... Fucking *mutter mutter mutter*

So I have no x-box for another week (maximum), so no media center, no peripheral entertainment outside of the computer and my writing and the odd game there. And of course going out. However, it means I can't entertain guests right now.

I can't deny the strong strong urge to keep a certain special edition red wii and horde it as something to do. A PS3 is on the shopping list between now and christmas. Maybe a lil after... I don't know yet.

What I DO know, is I like this. I like where I am. I like what is coming from this. I'll be damned if I don't.

May be damned anyways, but that is then, this is now, and now... Yay.

So there is the update, the summary.

Cheers.
