got it

So I have a new place to live now. My new landlord was satisfied with my references, even though he heard about it from my old landlord that he and I "had words". So tomorrow I drop off the signed lease, meet with him after work to give him a check, and I can start moving stuff over.

I spent tonight doing something I've been putting off for four and a half years now: going through the photo albums from the fire and salvaging what I could. The advantage of waiting is that it wasn't anywhere nearly as emotional as I feared it would be. Not that it wasn't at all. It took me a little over three hours. I salvaged most of most of the albums, only one was more than a quarter lost.

Tomorrow I'll start packing bookshelves and the DVDs and video tapes, getting the easy stuff out of the way. I have to figure out the timing, as my new landlord is going to let me starting moving some stuff over there before the lease takes effect, but wants to start the lease as soon as I start staying there overnight. From his perspective that makes entire good sense. From my, I had some small hopes for a free week; I am still very grateful that he's letting me move stuff this week, and even that he's going to let me start the lease before the first of the month, cause there's no way I could have managed to move in a single day.
