When I started recapping my trip, I had the idea of posting a day per week. And yet, that has not happened. You see, some combination of Comcast internet freaking out and my computer being really old has prohibited me from being online for the last couple of weeks. And then this weekend, my weekend to relax, my three day weekend of awesome? Well, it was ruined because on Thursday, I got home from work and found a "hey, your lease is up!" notice on my door. This is pretty standard. What isn't standard is that they're increasing my rent 30% and that if I want to stay in the complex, I have to move to a renovated unit. At my own expense. And by "renovated" I mean that it has new cabinets, but it's the same square footage and has the same layout and everything. And since that is crazy talk, I've been spending the last couple of days trying to find someplace to live. And, oh, did I mention that Joe is out of town and I have Westely and he's sick -- a very sick, sad dog?

Yeah. Updates are going to be few and far between until I figure out this whole moving thing. Stay tuned, y'all.

To add to everything I wrote yesterday:

Because my life is not crazy enough and I am not fragile and on edge, my closet exploded.  Or, rather, imploded.  Or collapsed.  Or, well, at 1:10 this morning, a giant crashing sound woke me up and scared the crap out of me.  I couldn't figure out what happened until this morning when I went to get a pair of underwear and the contents of my closet all started surging towards me, trying to break out of the doors.  It wasn't until I got home from work that I realized that the whole bar in my closet came down along with every sweater, dress, pair of pants and about half the shoes I own.  Everywhere.

Thankfully, I have the best dad ever and he came over to talk me down and fix everything.  Which took way less time than it took to take everything out of my closet and then rehang it.  Oy.

Moral of the story: When it rains, it shit storms.
