apartment status
Today I get my Cable TV / Internet installed. I ordered 'standard cable' and '8Mb/s internet'. The 8Mb/s is actually 8Mb/s down and 768Kb/s up. Thats not too bad.
I also *really* need to finish up my carpet cleaning. I am thinking I am going to clean the bed room and computer room rugs tonight. Then next week I'll do the living room rug once in the evening, and then again the following morning.
Once both of those are done, then I think I am going to properly setup my computer room and bed room and living room, as well as run power and coaxial cables to where they need to go. Then I also have to order telephone service through my cable provider (I would have had this done at the same time, but the technician that is scheduled for today isn't qualified to install telephone service).
I kinda wish I had this weekend to work on the apartment, but we (both Trish and I) had already scheduled this weekend (friday night to sunday evening) to be in Ohio with my friends, and this is the only weekend that she has off of work.
I can't wait until I completely moved into my apartment and I am settled in.
Once that is done, then I want to get some furniture - a couch and a table for the living room. I also would like to replace my current bed (which is a twin) with a new queen size bed (something that is more comfortable on my back, as I have been having some slight back pain in the last several months from my bed) as well as the log frame that Tricia wants.
I also have to finish cleaning the blinds. They are very dusty / dirty and I am kinda avoiding cleaning them.
I imagine in about a month everything will be done and settled down.
We were thinking to get married this summer, but after announcing these intentions to our extended families and relatives, we found that just about everyone raised huge and very loud objections to the timing of this. So we have decided to try to wait until May 26, 2007. However, we did tell our parents that we will try to wait, but if we can't wait we will go off and elope.
I'll give more updates as work on the apartment continues. I hope to start taking pictures of the place and posting them on here too.
I am also finding that I seem to be needing 8 hours of sleep or more each day, because I am just not functioning correctly on 6 hours. Today I was really tired after 6.5 hours and decided to go back to sleep for another hour (and skip eating breakfast, making a lunch, taking a shower, etc). But aside from "feeling gross" I am noticing I am much more awake with that extra hour of sleep.
