Life at the new digs….

I guess I can write about the apartment. It’s really nice. Got the air conditioner in yesterday. Just in time for the hot muggy weather we are supposed to have. Could only put in the one air conditioner, the window in the bedroom is too small to put the other one in. So I guess I’ll just have the one. Which by the way is working very well and keeping the whole apartment nice and cool. At night I put the box fan on the floor and blow cool air into the bedroom, which works well to keep cool at night. Last night was the first really good night of sleep in the new place. Guess I’m used to the place now. The first night, I was just really over tired and had to get up early to go to our Kiwanis meeting. And the next two nights just to get used to the new surroundings. All in all, I guess I’m going to really like living here.

I guess they finaly got the elevator fixed. I won’t go near it, when the next time it malfunctions, nobody can blame it on me. Of coarse we have the hall monitor type people, who have nothing better to do than look for some one to blame something on. They think they know everything in the whole wide world, and you are the ones who can’t understand a simple thing. I’ve dealt with those kind people before. They have put up with all the shit and stuff like that all their little insignificant lives. And now that they are older and retired or just plain miserable they want you to know they are better than you, and give you the business. Well I can’t blame them, I guess I might be like that when I get to that age and point in my life. Oh well.

Went to the Dr.’s yesterday. Went for a normal checkup. Everything was real good. BP was fine, breathing was good, heart sounded fine. Got some prescriptions straightened out. Last time I had them call in a script to the pharmacy, they called in the wrong dosage. So now I’m good to go for six months or so. I don’t have to go back to Dr. Sperling for two and a half months. I have to go see my other doctor next month.

That’s it for now……Keep your stick on the ice!

Well, I’m moved in. Almost.!!!

Well, I’m moved in. Almost. Just a few things left to get up here, but you can say, I’m in….
Now that’s pretty good. Considering, I only had my self, my buddies Art, Keith and Mark. I was having the damnedest time breathing. Keith I think was worse than I was for breathing; I had to let him use some of my oxygen. He was really having a tuff time. I really appreciate Arts contribution. He busted his ass. And Mark, thank God he had the trailer and could help for the time he did. Of coarse there was an ambulance call while they were loading up the trailer. Art and I just brought up a load in his truck while Mark did the ambulance run. But Mark and Art got the big stuff up quickly, so Mark could go and pick up his daughter before he left. I don’t, let me refraise that, I know that Art and I would not have got those things up. As it was, Art was late getting done and hade to make a special trip to bring my clothesbasket up with the shower curtain and the toilet paper. Of coarse, Art grabbed the wrong basket. I know he was a little upset about having to come back to bring the basket, and then get here with the wrong basket. I didn’t want him to go back and get it, I just waited till today to get it. Keith came over and took me to Wally World to get groceries. I had used up all my groceries at the other place so we wouldn’t have to move a lot of food.
Keith and I also stopped and got the correct basket and the rest of the stuff we could get in his car. All I need to get back at the other apartment is the kitchen table, two kitchen chairs and my tools, and fishing gear. Hopefully, I can con my sister to come out and help me move the rest of the stuff next week end. That will give me time to unpack and find everything that I packed.

Now of coarse there had to be a BIG FUCKING PROBLEM when we were to move. The parking lot at my new apartment was being torn up and some of the sidewalks were being replaced on Friday. What the FUCK……. That kind of put us behind the eightball in moving things in. I think that made us have to make alternative entry points, and took more time to get things up to the second floor where my apartment is.

So I can say, I’m moved in and I’m glad. You know, I REALY HATE MOVING…….
Art gave me a home warming present of Manhattan Fixin’s, so I’m enjoying one right now. Maybe I’ll have another when I’m done with this one. I’m not going anywhere…. And I pooped. Brining up the groceries and all the stuff yesterday, plus all the unpacking, it’s been a long two days.

So here’s to you my buddies, Keith Mark and especially Art…….. Hope you sit down and have one when you get home tonight Art…..

Keep the Faith….!!!!!!!

I know..........

I know, it’s been a while. But have an excuse. I’ve been packing and getting ready to move. In fact yesterday, I with the help of my friend Art, moved two loads of boxes to the new apartment. And on Friday we will move the rest of the stuff. Mark is going to bring down his trailer, and we can put the heavy stuff on that and maybe we can do it all in one trip.

I really hate moving, and I’m not as young as I used to be and I can’t breath as well and get pooped out quickly. But hopefully I won’t be moving any time soon, after I’m in my new place. It’s a nice place, even has an elevator for handicap individuals. So when I get groceries, I can use it to bring them up to my apartment. But otherwise I will use the stairs.
I get to keep my phone number. So if any of my friends need to call me, its still the same….
You know, you say it every time, I’m going to get rid of that stuff, all the crap you don’t need, but for some reason, you keep. Well, I got rid of three garbage bags full of crap, old photo’s cloths I don’t wear or haven’t worn in two years. All kinds of stuff. I have to sell my washer and dryer, my stove, my dinning room set. Hopefully, I’ll get what I want for them. So I can pay off some bills and get things straightened out.
Well that’s it for now. I’ll be back after I unpack…….
