Moving Day

Rickey talked to me this morning about last night. After he said his piece and James filled in some gaps, Rickey went off to work. Shortly after, James's parents called and he met them for lunch.

That left me in the house, so I vacuumed each room and prepped some things to be moved for James whenever he came back. This is one of those moments where this minimalism thing shows its true beauty: it took me less than 45 minutes to move my whole room.

Mind you, I haven't said as much about my minimalist things that I do, but that's because it's so much a part of my life and habits, I don't feel the need to report on it often if ever unless something special happens.

Going on, I hung the modems on the wall instead of keeping them on the desk and got rid of my mini bookshelf since James left me an end table. My closet has a door, so now I have a place to leave my pull-up bar hung up without having to leave my room door open.

After that, I vacuumed the room I left and then had the bright idea to move Rickey's room into the room I left, so he'd have a larger room. Finally, I put everything that will end up going to the Goodwill in the smallest room and locking the door. I'm the only one with the keys to it, so that works.

I vacuumed each room before putting things in order and then circled back to my new room and moved things around. It was a good afternoon of doing that and writing code.

Men came by and talked with me for a while. After that, because of some encouragement I got from Miranda, I went and hung out with the fam at bowling. All laughs and smiles and just chilling out. Irritated with some things, but not each other and I got to see the babies (Kyla and Seyvion). Wish they would have shut up about the lady at the counter; she's always sweet to me.

After that, we played pool where I won against Clive (who joined us later after work) and my bowling team won (I'm the only one on the team that broke 100 pts). Rickey showed up with his friend Ace, who I recognized and spoke at; I would say "to", but he just looked at me weird and declined to respond. Whatever.

I went back home with Men and he dropped me off, then went back to his place. I went upstairs and enjoyed the quiet and the stark barrenness of my new room. It's effin gorgeous. I'm happy with it.

Brett just called me and ranted a bit. I guess he needed that and that's cool.

I watched some youtube clips James sent. I hope things go well from here on with him.

I think I want a bed. I think I want a bed. What is wrong with me?
