it's Wednesday, noon, and I'm sitting here in front of the computer again ... thought I should update ...
after 5 months, and a few days, in the hotel here in Chico, Kalifornia, we have finally landed an apartment ... a 2 bedroom downstairs apartment in the CITY ... the CITY ! ... I left the city about 35 years ago, I thought to never return ...
grrr, I'm not a city dwelling flatlander, let alone a downstairs type person ... I imagine we will be directly beneath the main ballroom of the local 'heehaw dancing academy', or something ... I ranted and raved at my loving wife (she who is to be feared), about the noise from above, but since she is the one that will be carrying in the groceries, etc.., she easily won that contest ...
it's frantic around here, and she is doing an admirable job rounding up all the helpers, and renting a truck, etc. ... we really don't have a lot to move, the hospice will be delivering my hospital bed and equipment ... they have been outstanding !, and even after the fire wiped them out, they have pieced them selves back together to take care of us broke down old fogies ... I am absolutely no physical help, but I've taken care of arranging the cable internet hookup, and hopefully we will be able to cut the cable on our TV needs ...
since we're close to the city, I hope to pull in the networks, at least, with an indoor antenna ... I plan on using something like internet Sling TV, or something similar, for additional channels ... we're looking at probably $65 bucks a month with these options, a lot of money, but still better than the $150 a month we've been paying ... Cable TV is just such a ripoff, but options are limited ... I hope this antenna, and internet streaming setup will be practical for us ...
I just received a few e-mails from my old grade school friends, that was an unexpected surprise ! ... thank you very much, I will try to respond to them before I kick off, haha ...
we plan to move this weekend, and the internet should be hooked up next Monday, after that, I will try to start responding ... it was very nice to hear from all of you ...
