The Dalles

I made it! I survived! Hooray!

Enough exclamation marks. M and I are officially settled into our new house. It was stressful, and we forgot stuff, and it’s COLD here, but over all I really like it. We got a cute turn of the century house that’s since had the interior remodeled.. new paint, new appliances, etc.. It has a large back yard as well as a root cellar and off street parking. Yay!

Our house is, of course, minimally furnished since we just brought what we could hold in our cars. I prioritized with my computer and instruments while M prioritized with TV and entertainment.

But we have a blow up mattress, which is pretty sweet. Beats the hell out of sleeping on the hard wood floors.

I’ve been playing around with Flash Pay via NetSpend and it seems like it’s all new.. Does anyone understand how to use flashpay? Because I sure as fuck don’t.

You know how much time I’ve been spending playing Might & Magic 6? Too damn much. Like HOURS. I haven’t played it in years and got it off of GOG. I grew up playing all the old school RPGs and I always really liked the first person aspect of MM as well as the fact that I could have girls. Go figure.

Life has mellowed out and thank God for that. Things seem to be getting back to normal.

M and I will be house hunting next weekend. We’re getting excited to be moving to The Dalles in two weeks! I just wish we already had a place so I could quit stressing out about it. Seriously.

Not much else to say! Until next time..

Manual Labor

Leave a comment

I bought a 13 ft 1969 Nomad Golden Falcon Camper Trailer. It needs some work. I got a good deal and the kind gentleman who I’m purchasing it from is being nice enough to deliver it for me, on Tuesday. So what does that mean for Me and Mine? 

It means I’ve spent a lot of time alone. Packing, delivering, returning.. things. To thrift shops, back to their owners, etc etc. It also means that since Tuesday my sister (who is a fucking bad ass) and I have moved 450+ sq ft of Cedar Chips and what felt like half a ton of pea-gravel. We had to move this because where my trailer is going to go at my sisters house was being taken up by these items. I feel fucking ripped. 

I hated it at first. But now, I think I love manual labor. Its not like going to the gym and running on a treadmill. I never go anywhere, I have nothing to look at, I can’t do it. Being a laborer? Totally rewarding. This morning I didn’t even wake up sore, my muscles feel good, and I feel good. I’m making progress.

Then I got back to the apartment and realized I have 11 God-damned days to have this place empty and bleached from head to toe if we want ANY chance of getting our deposit back. 

So what am I doing? Sitting here drinking whiskey, waiting for Mike and his friend Kris to get home, and talking to you.

Thanks blog, and the few people who like my posts, you do help me through the crazy shit I do to myself.
