More house stuff...
So I had my closing on Tuesday. Went off without a hitch. Took about 20 minutes and was much less than I anticipated signing/initialing. Was going to go look at furniture after that, but I was supposed to have softball practice. I went back to MY house and parked in MY garage and just wandered aimlessly around the house for a bit. Had to get changed into my softball stuff, so I decided it was time to get naked in the new house for the first time. :-D Somewhat anti-climactic, but hey, it was fun!
Went on Wednesday to find a suitable TV for the Home Theater and settled on a 57" Mitsubishi DLP 1080p HDTV. Didn't want to load it up at lunch since I didn't think the heat would be good for it. Went back to get it after work and called my brother to come help unload it at the house. When I got back to Best Buy, they tried to load the TV into my Durango. No dice. They wouldn't try what I wanted, but I think it would have fit. Luckily, my Uncle lives right around the corner from where my new house is and he has a pickup. Called and asked if I could borrow the truck and he said no problem. Went and got it and went back to the store. Loaded up the TV, headed back to the house and unloaded it. Gave him and his guest that came along for the ride the 10-cent tour and then we headed out.
I took the truck back to my Uncle's house and my aunt and my cousin wanted to play cards so I ended up sitting there until 10p playing pitch.
I stopped back on Thursday after softball and Dukey's to grab some boxes my Aunt left for me and check the mail. Nothing spectacular. Came home, went to bed. Got up Fri morning and felt like shit. If anyone can explain why 4 beers made me feel worse than previous weeks when I had 7 or 8 beers, let me know. Kicked my sorry black ass.
Came home Friday night with the plan to start packing (no, I hadn't started yet). Didn't get started with the actual *packing* but got some stuff sorted out a bit. I have about 2 boxes packed up now and I have a long way to go. I want to take whatever I have packed down to the house tomorrow and maybe see if I can get the trailer and take the spare bed and some other things down. I'd also like to go pick up my living room furniture. We'll see.
As for now? Back to packing while I watch "Flip this house" and run up the electrical bill with the a/c.
