I haven’t forgotten about this report, I promise! My lease is up at the end of this month and my apartment decided I wouldn’t be allowed to renew (long story) so I was apartment hunting and came upon a FABULOUS place that is bigger (spare bedroom I can use as an office space/cat room/store everything you can’t find a place for room + storage closet off back patio), includes a washer/dryer and dishwasher and microwave (which means I can donate my microwave to my office, where we desperately need a second one), is $100 cheaper than my current apartment (I’m telling you, this condo is a STEAL, especially in this town), and BEST OF ALL, the landlord knows I have three cats and is fine with it! No non-refundable pet fees, no monthly pet rent, and a slightly higher security deposit only because I have more than two!
So anyway, the condo was empty. I went to an open house on June 30th, was in talks to be selected by the middle of the next week, and officially approved as the new tenant last Saturday. Plus, moving in early gives me LOTS of time to get the old place clean and ready for the next tenant. BUT that also meant I needed to move in about a week - the physicians at work all went to a conference for the weekend, so they weren’t in the office Friday, meaning I wasn’t needed, so I took the day off to move, in some really perfect timing.
So we moved yesterday and we’re settling in. However, Comcast is being extraordinarily dumb and failing to meet their own deadlines to get my cable/internet transferred. So I have no internet. I *might* be able to use an Xfinity hotspot as WiFi but I’m currently using my cell data, which is less than ideal. Plus, my computer is still doing that random shutting down thing, and it gets especially touchy when I open disboards, Flickr, and YouTube at the same time. I have a printout of things to try and remedy this and I hope I’m able to do another installment tomorrow, because we have a day at California Adventure ahead of us!
