(no subject)
Oh, I guess I should follow up on my post from the 3rd. Joy was headed up to Canada for the weekend, and was subjected to more intense scrutiny than usual at the border. After being asked the same questions by three different people, she got fed up and said, "Forget it, I just want to go home." She walked over to the US Customs station and waited for the next bus, which got her back to Seattle around 9ish, IIRC.
No matter how much stuff you have when you move, it always seems like you spend the first few weeks buying stuff. Or acquiring stuff, at least. Sunday we drove down to IKEA and picked up some organization/storage items, as well as a lamp and a coat tree. Then last night I met Joy at the Verizon store and upgraded to a BlackBerry Storm, which is really cool! But a little fiddly. It's going to take some getting used to, but I think I'm really going to like it.
We came home to find more water on the floor in Joy's bathroom, so she put in another call to maintenance. I really like the new place, but there's quite a bit that needs to be dealt with. The dishwasher isn't secured, so we haven't used it yet, there's a couple of decorative pieces in the bathrooms missing that I couldn't care less about, and we still haven't gotten our mailbox keys yet. I'm really getting annoyed about that. We're coming up on two weeks of occupancy, if it isn't resolved soon I'm going to complain to the Postal Service.
But only one more day till internet! :D
