It's been about two months since my FM rotation and I'm ready to start going again. The wife and I move down to Bakersfield this weekend with the help of the in-laws. Should be a fun time. I can only hope it's drop from 102F that it was when we went down last time. We picked up a new apartment due to the DEFCON 1 situation I had with the last place.
It wasn't until I was setting up the utilities that I found out the previous place only had a 3Mbps DSL connection, which is unacceptable in my books. So I had to do some major scrambling to find a place in a decent area with an opening before Sept. 26th (my first day). In the end, I pulled it off. The big caveat is that I have not seen the place, although we have a month-to-month lease, so we can get out if we need to. We also have our eyes set on another complex down there.
I'm feel like I'm get rusty over here, so it will be good to get back in the hospital. It's been too long since I've been talked down to, felt to be stupid, or generally mishandled by someone and I want that experience back. So I'll jump back in there with both feet and hope someone doesn't consume me whole.
Another bright note will be finally moving out on my own post-wedding. Living with one's parents, although economically sound, can wreak havoc on one's self of independence and self-worth. Although the food may have evened it all out. Can't beat mom's home cooking. Hell, I remember the craving for daal and roti whenever I would come back from the island, so it's pretty sweet to have it on a weekly basis. Realistically, you could put any fast food place on that list too.
Alright, time to wind down. Tomorrow we pick up the moving truck and start packing. Wish me luck!
