I finally moved into my new apartment.
I still have stuff in my old place, but I moved my base of operations to the new place.
Obviously this is due to changing my cable internet service location... but it did force me to move a bunch of stuff within a short span of time. I unwired my PCs (and the XPS 720 is one heavy PC), disassembled my desk, and reassembled everything within 3 hours.
The result was utter exhaust and sweat smelly-ness. The cable guy did his stuff and I got online, but I just crashed after he left before even taking a shower. Because I have yet to move my $4000+ tempurepedic bed, I crashed on the $50 futon I bought 10 years ago.
Oh yes, this futon has come in handy time to time, especially during times of uncertainty.
When I had to move due to jumping ship from one job to another, I tended to ditch my mattresses because they have a tendency to be too bulky and would require me to borrow a truck (and they're not that expensive either).
So back when I moved to and back from Kentucky or from Chicago back to Ohio, I used this old trusty futon. A $50 well spent I suppose. However, it offers almost no comfort and can be brutal to the body after a while, so I need to think of a plan to transport that massive tempurpedic bed. I'll probably hire somebody.
Anyhow, when I woke up it was already around 10pm, however, I took a shower first because I have yet to test the instant hot water furnace equipped in this apartment. Yeah, what a great technological marvel that existed in Japan 30 years ago, but only recently came over to the USA! It was great. BOUNTIFUL hot water! What utter luxury!
Back when I moved back to Ohio in 2005, the shit apartment I lived in back then had a ridiculously small hot water tank that gave me 10 minutes of hot water in the shower. When I moved into another apartment that gave me 20 minutes of hot water, it was utter ecstasy because I was able to take a shower without it having to be some sort of olympic sport. However, even with 20 minutes it didn't give me enough time for meditative thoughts while being covered in soothing warm water. Thus, this upgrade to infinite hot water is utter elysium.
The new place is about twice the size of my previous abode, and the layout is long and rectangular with 5 rooms connected by a long corridor. I like the visual effect of this long brick corridor.
Anyhow, I'm far from finished with moving so I'll still have to force my body into physical labor for the next few weeks. yipeee
