Just an update

[Wierd Fishee]

I feel like I don't even have time to think anymore. I spend over an hour commuting to work and then another hour commuting back home. But I am lucky I have a job in this economy. I am really happy today! I found an apartment in Irvine to move into and today I found out my credit was good enough and I'll be moving in next Friday! Yay! I hate packing, but this time I'm really excited about moving because the new apartment is really nice and it's brand new. Best of all, the apartment complex is next to a shopping centre that has a Trader Joe's, and that's heaven for me! The apatment is a 615 sq. ft. studio with hardwood-type flooring ("Pergo", in other words, but definitely an improvement over carpets), granite countertops. It's just two rooms. The bedroom isn't even a room but it's closed off from the living area by sliding doors, so since I will be moving in with my son it'll be like having my own room. Best of all each apartment has an actual one-car garage! That means I won't be living amongst an ocean of boxes anymore! I decided to keep my beautiful wood/black marble Thomasville "Bogart" bar.

It's such a beautiful piece of furniture that I've had people offering to buy it on the spot... so I'm not selling it just yet.I also lucked out with W.A.S.T.E. and got four pit tickets to the Santa Barbara Bowl, and two P1 tickets to the Monday Hollywood Bowl concert. I managed to get one Q1 ticket for the Sunday Hollywood Bowl concert but unless I can find another seat nearby I will probably sell it. I don't want to go by myself. Today I reserved a room at a hostel in Santa Barbara for two nights. I didn't really want to carry all my belongings to the concert or do without taking a shower, but we will probably spend the night queuing. I plan on doing the same thing at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday. I don't think I can afford a hotel for that night. I don't even know how we'll manage to get back to Irvine that night.Other than that my life has just been work-work-work lately, which is why I am now able to move into something newer and better. The place where I live right now has been described as a ghetto and I'm not one to disagree.
