*sigh* What can I say about this weekend? It was a very good weekend. *pats weekend's head* Yes you were!! Go get the stick!
*ahem* Anyway, onto the countdown:
Friday:Well, I went to the Temp Agency to drop off my resume and fill out an application. I made an appointment for an orientation on Wednesday, so maybe things will pan out in the end...
As I left, though, mom called me and told me that the lady from the apartments we've been looking at said one was becoming available in the beginning of May. It's a two bedroom one bath on the first floor. Even though it's only a one bathroom instead of a two bathroom like we originally wanted, we decided to go for it anyway. I mean, we've been sharing a bathroom now for nearly six months now and have survived thus far. I mean, yeah, it'd be nice to have my own bathroom again, but hey, a place to live is a place to live.
Mom's also going to call about this one duplex that's a two bed two bath and has a slightly larger floor plan. The only thing is, they don't take pets. Mom called them and said she'd pay more per month if they'd allow cats. She left a voice message for the realtor since she'd already left for the day. She's gonna call back today to see what the sitch is. But hey, if we don't get into this place, at least we have an alternative, which is more than could be said even a few days ago.
And we didn't go out to dinner like I suspected we wouldn't. We pushed it to this coming Friday.
Saturday:Most of Saturday was spent running around doing various errands. First off, we went to the storage place and put more of our things into the storage unit. A massive packing endeavour is being initiated, so we're just trying to do our part by removing our stuff that doesn't need to be there. Then we went to the apartment offices so we could drop off part of our security deposit. Mom didn't want to do the entire thing just in case the duplex comes through and we go with it. We wouldn't get any of that other money back. However, the lady had originally said that it'd be available on the 5th of May, she then said it'd be closer to the 11th. Mom started to panic a bit. We have to be out of this house by the 7th. She mentioned it to the leasing agent who then went onto explain the situation is with the guy who makes sure the apartment is in move in condition before another tenant moves in. He said he has 8 apartments he has to clean by the weekend of the 5th, which is why he said the one we're looking at might not be ready by then. She did say, however, she intends to tell him that we need to move as soon as possible and that she'd even clean the place herself if it'll mean things get done sooner. I said, if push comes to shove, we can crash with someone for a few days until it's ready. So, we'll just have to wait and see what the solution will be.
We did drive by the duplex that's for rent. At least, the one we though it was. The street is nothing but duplexes and mom couldn't be 100% sure of the number, so we didn't know if the one we saw was the actual one available or not. Me, I thought it looked a bit dumpy on the outside, but then it could look very nice on the inside and it may not be the one we saw at all. So, who can say...
Sunday:Easter Sunday!! We had to get up early becasue mom wanted to go to sunrise services. It was held in a different location that it was in the past... so we got a little lost. We went to the wrong beach. *facepalm* But, we eventually got there and we didn't miss too much. It seemed a little long to me and the speakers were a little hard to hear due to the waves and such. I might've enjoyed it more if not for the
Red Tide. Perfect timing, as always...
We went back to the house and I layed down for a bit before getting dressed for church. Then, after awhile, we went to church. We usually have two services, one at 9:00 and the other at 10:30. This time we only had one at 10:30.
After church, we got changed again and headed over to my aunt's for dinner. It's always nice to got to the family functions, but it felt strange since this was the first time we celebrated a holiday without grandma. And I actually got to play a little of my cousin's PS2 that he'd brought! 'Star Wars Battlefront II' I played (as Aayla Secura. She had
two lightsabers). And I actually won! I was surprised since I've never really played video games before. I kinda liked it. I may eventually become a gamer after all...
Then, we ate dinner and me and one of my other cousin's played 'Cranium' that she'd brought. It was just the two of us, even though it would've been a lot more fun with more people, but they all wimped out. It was kinda fun, though. I won that one too. Then, my mom and my aunt started going through some of my grandma's photo albums and scrapbooks she'd had. The divided some of the pictures into various piles for different family members. Then, since we walked over, we went home before it got too dark. All in all, it was pretty fun.
Fandom wise, I downloaded some of the 'Saiyuki' volumes I dont have yet (relax, I'll still buy them when they come out). I read volume 4 on Saturday. We get to see Hakkai's youkai form once again... from the side though. And we meet Hazel, who, I believe, has the longest story arc so far. Strange guy.
Today I need to catch up with some of my FL since I wasn't able to get on at all yesterday and I want to
try to clean up my room stuff in preparation of our moving. I don't know when it's going to be exactly, but I'll be sure to let you know since I'll have to be offline again then.
Trivia of the day: Pleonexia is a clinical term for morbid greediness.
Now back to your regular programming...
