getting closer

Internet's now working! I'm writing this via my Speakeasy DSL from the floor of the new apartment. The floor because we haven't actually gotten to the setting up furniture stage, just the moving the pieces into place one. I forgot to bring over the screws that go to my bed, so for tonight I'm sleeping on the mattress on the floor.

It won't matter, though, I'm going to be out like a light. Today flat out wore me out moreso than I can remember in a long long time. My legs are done. My knees hurt. My arms have random scratches.

A neighbor invited us over to hang out tonight, so we got a chance to (after showering) sit, cool down, and have some really good food. We already got invited to another "get-together" next weekend. I went two whole years never really knowing anyone I lived around at City Park, and I haven't even slept a night yet and already know people here.
