Exhausted

So, I'm in the lobby of La Quinta in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  The wireless signal is too weak in the hotel room.

Hell of a long day.

So it started around... 4:30, I think.  I took a shower.  Then we finished packing stuff and getting rid of stuff.  We went to our friend's house at 6:30 to drop off our desk - yes, we woke her up for it.  Then we started packing the car, and we realized we did not have nearly enough room for all this stuff.  So we had to reopen the relocube and figure how to add more stuff to the pile.  It is pretty full now, as is the car.   We threw away some stuff that could be useful, and the morning recyclers/dumpster divers took some of it.  Just not the bed and futon that is just leaning again an electric pole......

Our landlady, the FP's girlfriend, came over at 8:30 sharp to "check us out".  We were just finishing packing and cleaning.  You have to understand, we are dirty people.  Under the time constraint we had to finish the cleaning, it was a good job for our standards.  She walked in and said, did you clean at all?  She looked around for ten seconds and said, the refrigerator is clean, but you didn't clean anything else.  We looked at her.  Pause.  I went into a spiel about how with the short amount of time we had, packing the cube and then cleaning right after while still living in the apartment, we did the best we could.  If we were moving locally, then we could have vacated and had a couple days to clean.  So, I said, whatever you have to take out of the deposit, you can, because this is all we had time for.  She kind of backed down then.  I really didn't care at that point.  I was exhausted, and it was only 8:40 am!

So, we got the hell out of there.  We had to go to Cox to drop off the DVR.  So, we get there at 8:48, and there is a line outside waiting to get in.  So we get in line.  At about 2 minutes to 9, the security guard comes and tells us it's going to be 10 or 15 minutes because of a comupter problem.  A communications company with a computer problem!!! LOL!  We were not happy.  Most everyone else was pissed too.  Finally, we got in, and we left San Diego around 9:34.

It is now 11:49 pm.  My cats are tired and uncomfortable and thirsty and restless.  The FP is probably passed out in bed already, lucky.  So, now, I too am off to bed.
