New House

Today was big moving day! My landlord helped me move all the big furniture because he felt guilty about me not getting in to the new place until today! I was very grateful for that. Right now my friend, Moo, and I are watching 27 Dresses in my new front room! I am so excited for that! There are no kids running up and down the stairs or screaming. I love it. I keep telling Moo that I love it that I do not share walls anymore. This is my very own little one bedroom house! I am so excited to live here. I do not even care that most of my stuff is in random boxes. Nope, doesn't bother me. I love it..have I mentioned that?

Besides moving, I also was able to go to a friend's birthday dinner at Applebee's and play softball. We lost again, but I really had a good time playing tonight. We actually played very well! It as fun. I also played catch with another friend earlier in the day at my school. It was nice to have a little break.

Tomorrow is going to be all about getting the rest of my stuff out of the other apartment and then cleaning it. I also need to get some towel rods and curtains for the new apartment. Good times.

Well, I think that is all for now. I talked to the Janetteo last night and she seems to be much better even though her mother is dying. It was nice to talk to her. I keep worrying about her. I am probably delaying my trip home so I can be around here for the funeral. It is a mess trying to cancel my flight but I feel like it is the right thing to do. It is weird just going with the flow. I think I am learning to be more flexible and patient through all of this!

Well, thanks for reading. Check out Alyssa's blog for some great pictures of Alexa and I. I had a lot of fun hanging out with them last night.

Fists at 3:30 a.m.

Hi all. Today was a much better day. Sorry that the posts have seen a little down lately.

I didn't sleep well last night. (I know this seems like it will be a down post again, but I promise it isn't) At 3:30 I was suddenly awake. I didn't think much of it but then heard laughing from the children next door. This made me angry. Why are ten year olds awake at 3:30 a.m. Well, being as comatose and angry as I was, I got up and hit the wall really hard. At first, I thought I had started to bleed. Then after feeling the pain for a few minutes, I thought I had broken my hand. Luckily, there was no blood and I could still move my fingers. I guess I am not that wise at 3:30 in the morning. I have to laugh at myself because I yell at my students all the time for hitting walls and other objects when they get mad. I tell them that the wall will always win. I guess my own advice happened to me this morning. The wall won. I wish I had more of a war wound but it is only a little red, but it does hurt so that should count for something. Good thing is that the laughing stopped and I got back to sleep eventually. Another good thing was that I was reminded that there is a reason for my madness in moving. I will like not having to share any walls with neighbors. Yes, I know there has to be good neighbors somewhere in the world, I am just not feeling it right now.

Today I bowled, ate wonderful ice cream, talked with a friend who is moving and it was awesome as usual, talked to my friend whose mom is dying(it was nice to talk to her, she sounded a lot better than she did earlier in the week), I also had a much needed nap on my futon midday, and I was not very productive when it comes to the whole packing thing. Oh well! I am sure I will get some stuff done tomorrow. In fact, I can start moving stuff in tomorrow afternoon, even furniture if I want to. That will be good.

Anyway. It is late. I like summer though; I don't have to feel guilty for being a night owl!
