Ray and I have been searching for a place to move to for the past week or so, and finally we decided to go down the roommate or room for rent road... After a few calls to some really good places, that didn't pan out as they wanted a single person, we called another place this afternoon and she called us back shortly after Ray left a message...
We went to check it out, and we are in love with the place.. It's a Victorian house, and the room we are renting is HUGE!!! The ceiling is 12-14 feet, with 6 windows that are nearly floor to ceiling, and it's also furnished, so we don't have to worry about scrambling to get a bed to sleep on, because the floor is so not a bed for either of us... We are paying nearly $800 less a month here than we are at the hotel, plus, it's a very quiet neighborhood and house, even if there are 3 or 4 other people living there as well... We are the only ones who will be home all day, as the other tenants work day shifts at the local Perdue plant, and we have been informed that there are times when they will take the night shifts as well when things pick up during the holiday seasons...
I will not be offline for too long, just until I can get the laptop and connection set up, as it's already there and waiting for the first person to tap into it... We plan on moving in Friday afternoon and evening, as tomorrow will be my day to recuperate from the second lumbar epidural injection, which means I get to stare at the four walls and wait for the sedation to wear off so I can get to work packing things up so we can get up and get going in the morning... Yeah, can you tell we are so ready to be out of here yet?
Anyway, I thought I would give you all a heads up, and let my family here share in our good news, as a few know how badly we have been wanting out of here, 1 1/2 years is a long time to spend without a real kitchen... This also means that the gathering is going to be this much closer to happen for us, something we have been crunching and working the numbers about since we decided we were going to go, and now, it definitely looks as if it's going to happen.. The best thing is, by the time it comes up, Ray and I should be ex-smokers, as we are taking the step of quitting at the end of next month.. ~smiles~
