Somewhere out there...

jhameiaOK.
So I had my full 8 hour sleep and the flight was fairly uneventful. Regina was a little late, but I don't care. She got me to Public Utilities, so now I have an electricity account, and then we went to Copper Canyon to sign my lease, check out my apartment and stuff.
My apartment doesn't face east like I requested, but west. It's a ground-level apartment too, so that means, I have a patio. It's actually a nicely sized patio, about the side of my bedroom I think, and it's got dirt edges, and I can't wait to plant things there. Lavender, I think, and basil, rosemary, oregano, maybe curry leaves. Regina has a lemongrass (!!!!!) that she's developing; she says she'll give me a stalk when it's grown a bit more (she has it in a too small pot right now, so it's not spreading as much as it could).
We went to Regina's apartment, where I met her husband Jon, and we had lunch, and I Napped For A Long Time (4 hours). After which, we went to Target, where I bought an obnoxious amount of cookware.
Dropped them off at my new place (at which point, Regina noticed a black widow spider Right By My Door). Hrm.
This morning, we were out and about by 11am, and went to Home Depot to get some stuff. I bought some random things (notably a microwave, a trowel and watering can). Then to Sears for a vacuum cleaner, and I also got some eating ware (oddly enough, no cutlery, although I admired some at Target) and enough tupperware to last me four years.
Then it was off to find a mattress store (and I got a really good mattress and box spring for $559 together), Staples where I got a corner table and chair, and then FINALLY after much searching, an AT&T.
(951) 892-4189 if anyone's interested in messaging. Don't call; I just had someone call and I could barely make out their words (and their number didn't show up; it said "private number"). I can't tell if it's my phone or them. Anyways. Just send me a text. I like receiving texts.
There was supposed to be another good long nap AT&T it took us FOREVER. VERY productive tho. We did come back for a quick nap, and then Regina and Jon dropped off my stuff and left me alone in my apartment for me to start putting things together while they went to a church service. I left the table for last, and was just about to get started on it when they came back with some pizza for me. We went to the nearby KMart and Stater Brothers so I could check out the stuff they have (and get some stuff to eat, too).
(I also killed the black widow spider with the Raid that Jon gave me... I felt bad about it, but black widow spiders! Venomous! Might kill me! Therefore cannot live.)
We got back, and finished off the table. I now have a mess of boxes on my floor and I should figure out what the complex does about recycling.
I still have no bookshelves. And no hobby table. And no cutlery. I'm still considering getting a couch or something so I can entertain, but may have to settle for getting some giant cushions. I also have to take into consideration the fact that I have a FUCKTON of stuff coming in my mail so I need to think about that too.
I'll take pics when I can. Kinda forgot about it in the last while.
No idea what's happening tomorrow since it's Monday and thus everything's closed. I'll probably offer to help re-pot Regina's lemongrass tho.
Anyway. I'll have my own internet after the 13th when I get my modem. So. Soon!
