Picked Up Keys

I went to pick up the keys for the new apartment.

The welcome packet said to take photos of all the "before" photos, so I took a ton of photos. Although the only things that are going to help are the photos of broken or semi-broken places.

Like the burnt kitchen cabinet door *laugh*

Or the bad caulking job on the top of the bath tub.

The apartment has new carpet & stuff, but it's awfully dusty. I guess they had a lot of maintenance work done & the workers brought in lots of dust.

So I'll spend all day Wednesday vacuuming & wiping everything.
Fun, fun, fun.

Getting Ready to Move

I helped じゅるる pack up all the CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes (yes, he still has those) today. They filled up 9 boxes... -__-

We still have to take care of the kitchen stuff and daily-use stuff.

The big move is the 17th.
This is the only weekend we have... but it's better to plan for a move in a short amount of time, so everything gets boxed all at once & unboxed before we forget what's in the boxes, right?

My stuff won't be moving until August.
It's because I don't really have time to move my stuff. Plus there's no need to move my stuff when it's only four buildings away. Plus we can pretend we're not living in sin until our civil ceremony. Okay, I just made that one up.

In the afternoon we went to eat Chinese for the 9th Symphony wrap up party. Pretty good food. Sat would get jealous. We brought home the leftover duck b/c no one at our table seemed interested in taking any of the food home.

Birthday Concert No. 9

So I turned 34 today.

When you look at that number... boy, that's really old. Thank goodness I don't look THAT old! *boastful laugh*

Anyhoo.
Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday wishes on Facebook. I only got one text message (Steph) and one email (Dee) and one e-card (Ichigo), and all the rest were Facebook. Sign of the times?

I didn't have anything planned for the day, so I opened up all the bank related mail I got during AX weekend. I knew that one of my IRA accounts was maturing around this time, but it just matured yesterday! So I decided to run errands & do all sorts of banking needs. I went to the post office and two banks. All before 11am. Mighty productive morning, I must say!

Then I took a nap until I needed to get ready for a concert downtown. The T family were performing Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the Disney Concert Hall w/ all the other Japanese or Japanese-descent folks from S Calif.

So no cake for me so far.
I believe Ichigo ordered cake from H-san, so I'll be eating that when I go home to WLA on Monday.p
