Furthering my theme of "Great" things, here is the first installment of The Great Relocation.
I am currently in the process of moving into a new apartment. This is intended to save money and allow me to pay off some of my accumulated debts. How well this works, only time will tell.
The major feature of this relocation is that I am taking on a room mate. This room mate happens to be my sister. She wanted to move into a larger city to improve career opportunities but couldn’t afford it on her own and I was looking to save money. So we came to an arrangement and all the necessary arrangements were made.
The culmination of all that arranging is that on March 28 we took possession of a new apartment and my sister moved her stuff down from Camrose on March 31. I started moving my stuff on April 1. Since I have a one month overlap between my old aparment and the new one, I am able to make the transition a lot more calmly.
So, as things stand now, all my audio/video stuff, my computer gear, my pots and pans, and a number of other random widgets have been relocated. I’ve basically moved half the stuff. The other half is all packed and waiting to be moved. And the other half is waiting to be packed up and moved.
Yes, I know that makes three halves.
One side effect of the move is that my broadband internet access is down for a while. It has something to do with insufficient infrastructure being available at the new location. I do have a dial up connection with my employer but it does limit the amount of internet access. As a result, I’ll be somewhat rare on the ‘net for a while. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however.
Look for more on the Great Relocation as things develop.
