And that fast, the long weekend is over, and it's back to work. I'm kind of glad to be getting back into the normal swing of things. The last few weeks have been so stressful and shitty that it'll be nice to get back to normalcy. I'm looking forward to normal.
No games until Friday this week, which is kind of sad, but I'm also kind of glad. I still feel like my sleep cycle is recovering, so I'm not too upset to be able to keep it normal for a while. Just going to go to bed early, cuddle with my spouse, and listen to one of the various McElroy podcasts to put me to sleep. I really enjoy them, but I frequently do no make it through them before I'm dozing. Last night was My Brother, My Brother & Me. I think I made it through the opening segment, and half of the second, and that was it.
No real plans for today, just going to work, then take it easy. At some point, I need to do some grocery shopping, but that can wait a couple of days.
Tomorrow, my IKEA pension account is being discontinued, and will be rolled over into the main 401k, which means, I can have it now. This is good. We have some shit we need to get, like getting a dumpster so we can start cleaning out the house. Jess has already been working in Dad's room, but there's so much to do. We're getting rid of so much stuff. I think we're taking maybe three or four pieces of furniture with us. The rest is going to go away.
Yesterday, we went up to tour the apartment that I was most interested in. The one downside, is that the two bedroom with den apartments are only on the 3rd floor, and there's just no way that my sister could handle that. That said, a 2 bedroom is pretty spacious, so I think we could do it.
The complex is up north, just off a main road, but there is a light, so it would be easy to get in and out. The main road is a little hilly and windy, which might be rough in snow or ice, but again, not horrible. Once off the main road, the complex is very quiet. It's in a wooded area, so you can't hear traffic at all. The outside was very green, dotted with stations to toss your dog poo.
When you go inside, there's a lock at the front door to the building with an intercom, which I really like. The unit was lovely, with a spacious living room, and a breakfast bar and dining room. There are some built in shelves in the living room that'll be good for some collectibles.
The bedrooms are a good size, though I think I'm going to have to put my desk in the dining room. My bigass desk just isn't going to fit. Jess' should fit perfectly in the bedroom, since they only need one big enough for a laptop.
I think I'd like to go back with a tape measure and see how things will fit, but overall, it was definitely a winner. Right now they don't have any availability, but hopefully a 1st or 2nd floor apartment opens up in the next few months.
After that, we came home and excitedly added items to our Amazon list. Since we're planning to take almost nothing with us, we're going to have a lot to buy, so we started a list of what we need to get.
All in all, this is definitely the place to beat.
Okay, time for me to get pants and prepare for the day. Everyone have an awesome Tuesday!
