moved!!

sooooooooo, all this talk about painting and moving into my new apartment, i *finally finally* moved yesterday. extra thanks to polishbasia, bioguy, allen, and bob for coming all the way out to help me move!! and special kuddos to cookie bob for bringing delicious cookies for our moving breaks. :) yay!!!!!!!!!

i felt terrible because i was extremely useless during the moving party. i was stressed out from the night before-- having to pack up everything, throw things away (and i am BAD when it comes to packing.. to go anywhere/do anything!). i hardly slept! all the sleeping i did was on my couch, in front of CNN!

to make things worse, some stupid alarm started going off around 12:30am while i was in the midst of packing. it sounded like the EXTREMELY loud alarm was coming from the side rear of my bldg. however, when i went out of my back door, i could not locate *exactly* where the sound was coming from. of course, whoever's apt it was coming from, that neighbor wasn't home! AHHH! it was SOOOO loud though! finally, i called 311. those incompetent people transferred me to the police dept, and then to the fire dept. as i was telling this guy at the fire dept the specific info of where i am, the alarm stopped. of course, i felt like an idiot; the guy was really nice and was like, well, just call us back if it starts again.

as expected, as soon as i hung up the phone, the alarm freakin' started again. i called back, talked to the police, and they were sending someone over to look at it. half hr later, some police officer stopped by, checked out the bldg. of course, he couldnt break open my stupid neighbors' doors because he could get sued and it was no emergency. well, they left, and the alarm was still going off. it continued to come ON and OFF at intervals of like 15 min on and 2 seconds off for the next 2 hrs. i guess then one of my neighbors came back to their place, and stopped the alarm. stupid trixies, having their alarms going off when they weren't home! GGGRRRRRR...

*************

anywho, on the lighter note of things, after we moved, we ordered pizza from lou malnati's. i think this has become a tradition?? last year, after i moved, i treated those friends out to pizza at lou's too! so tasty. after pizza, allen and i managed to pass out in my minty mocha living room for like 2 hrs. whew, i was SOOOO tired. last night, i turned in early cuz i was just so tired still. this morning, i woke up with a migraine, felt sick, and thought i was gonna die. stayed in bed until 2pm, and remained useless until like 3, when i had to get ready for work. ugh!!

but now, i will get food with anand and go home to sleepie at my pretty green bedroom. :)
