The New Apartment: Day Three

It has been a crazy weekend.

Friday was moving day. It went really well despite 2 issues:

1) My phone decided to NOT send a few very important messages...to people who were supposed to help us. Or if messages were sent, it was well after the fact. I will be getting a new phone this week.
2) During our inspection, the leasing manager noticed that our lock was tight. She put in a work order to have it looked at. While we were at my old apartment loading the truck, they totally replaced the lock. This made our keys useless. When we returned there was a note on the door saying we could get our keys at the office. The Problem: The Leasing Manager wasn't there. Mark waited over an hour for her to return.  Meanwhile I was sitting outside our apartment *with the birds in a carrier.*  I am not sure where she went for over an hour, or why she didn't do anything when she knew we would be returning and would need keys.  If she was going to "step out" she should have at least called us and let us know about the key change and preferably had maintenance meet us when we arrived.

With a little help from Mark's dad, we were able to get everything unloaded and the truck returned. We at least had the bed and our bathroom set up so we could shower and collapse around midnight.

Saturday:

I had to work in the morning, but Mark stayed home and waited on the Uverse guy and the couch.

Couch delivery went to plan. Uverse guy was late, but he called and let us know, and was very apologetic. In no time we were back up and running with TV and internet.

We managed to get the living room and kitchen mostly done (including assembling the TV stand), and the closet into shape before heading to our first Country Mega ticket concert. (Meh)

Today:

We knocked out almost everything except the girls bedroom and bathroom.

I am impressed we managed to get everything done.

Here is photographic evidence:

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
