Day 15

One NEW Day At A Time
Day 15

Saturday, September 6, 2014

Yesterday I had a marathon of phone calls; but I finally got everything on my list taken care of; and even remembered to call to pay an electric bill (that call wasn’t even on my list).   There are still things to handle, but  I’m closer; and at least I’m no longer paying several bills I didn’t need!
DN and I took a couple of loads of laundry over in late morning.  She had a friend come visit at lunch time, and then she went and put the laundry into a dryer.  Later we went and retrieved the laundry.  Oh, we’d also cleaned out the freezer so she took a bag to the trash bin too.
I didn’t really get much done in the way of organizing except I did tackle the kitchen a bit more. It’s so small, so I’m still working on ways to better organize or store a lot of things.   There isn’t much wall space, but I think with the right hanging solutions what little there is can be better utilized.
When BF got off work he took us to Roses and Food Lion.  I bought us a floor mat for the kitchen door (most often used).  We got a few groceries (didn’t need a lot), then came back here.  DN made homemade pizza .. it was very good.  Then we sat around “watching” a movie.  In my case, it was mainly listening and having no idea what was going on! LOL!

I didn’t have a very good night.  I got to sleep fine; but around 3:00 someone was singing out on the sidewalk.  And a few minutes after that, someone (I think upstairs) was pounding (really hard) on a door.  I even got up to make sure they weren’t at our door (it was that loud).  I got back to sleep but then had odd dreams and woke up again weepy.   Plus around 4:30 there was a loud noise .. sounded to me like a gunshot, but could have been any number of things.  I know I just need to get used to sounds of the city; I don’t believe I’ve ever lived in such a busy and populated area.  I like it, but it takes adjustment.  I imagine I will eventually sleep right through night sounds .. even if I have to have  “help”!

I’m writing late today because the day got off to a busy start.  DN had arranged for the cable guy to change the active TV from her room to mine (I did not know about that until later).  Anyway, they had misunderstood what we wanted.  So when the guy got here and we explained .. he connected my TV, left hers alone, and no charge.  Wow!!  Nice. J

Any minute now BF will get here to pick up DN and they’re going to the beach for the day.  Hopefully while I have the rest of the day to myself I will be productive.  Even though my room is much better, I still have a lot to do.  And I want to give the apartment a bit of cleaning while I have the chance.

Also, hopefully TGF will get here sometime late this afternoon with the last things to be retrieved from the  house.  I won’t know until later, so for now I’ve lost half the morning and need to get busy!
