... to the South side!
Good news! I got the 'official' word this morning that we got the apartment we wanted, and we can start moving in this coming Friday! The bad news is that we didn't get to waive the security deposit, but it's only $350, instead of the thousand dollars that every condo we looked at wanted us to cough up. On the plus side, they said they'd waive the $13 water bill for us.
Yay.
Anyhow, I tried to call Rob and let him know, but I couldn't get hold of him yet. I think he's working this morning--although I didn't see him before I left the casino, and I was 'Last Man Standing' on my shift last night.
But the absolute best part of the whole situation, besides moving into a nice pad, is that I can finally tell these old losers I currently live with that I am outta here!
Finally--running water that always works--both hot *and* cold! Internet access that stays on for longer than a week at a time! Blessed air conditioning! A fully functional stove and oven! A roommate who doesn't constantly steal my groceries! No more cheesy wood paneling! No more red shag carpet! A dishwasher! An icemaker! No more yellow and pink tile! No more damp carpets from the shower leaking under the wall! Wall outlets where the plugs actually stay plugged in! A washing machine that has all four legs! Ceiling fans in every room! Enough cabinet space to hold both groceries *and* dishes! A white toilet--not 60's yellow! Tile that isn't chipped! Windows that open! New-fangled paint instead of 'mural' wallpaper! And we can't forget that exclusive Henderson ZIP code!
Oh, and it's closer to work, too--by about a half a mile. Not that I had that long of a commute anyways--I'm currently six miles from work. In fact, my truck is a year old and it still hasn't hit 7000 miles on the odometer yet.
I guess I know what I'll be doing with my days off this week--Packing and stacking.
