Life on the Road

Hello again!

You may not know, but we’ve been working in our storage units trying to downsize from 2 10×15 units into 1. Didn’t work. We got a much cheaper (no a/c) 10×10 unit in additon to the 1 10×15 unit we were keeping. Two words: Head Ache.

Their policy was we had to have a round lock on our unit. We were planning to use the one off the 10×15 we were vacating. But, since it took 3 days to move, 2 of those 3 days we were locked out and had to go to the office to get them to unlock it. Heh…

Then, every time we opened our new unit the alarm went off. The storage people had said they had put our new unit on our alarm-deactivating card, but no. Double Heh… Anyhow, yesterday we finally managed to finish it, and now I basically have a free day.

Among the things I am doing today are: writing this, doing laundry (pretty fun because I can just sit there and play on the gaming laptop while I watch it), playing Xbox (more on that later), and schoolwork.

I really like playing Xbox for a variety of reasons. One, it’s entertainment. Two, the controller setup is really nice. Three, those “Ooohhh… NOW I get it” moments. I got one of those today, beating a level I previously thought was impossible. Gotta love it.

I am also really good at chess, though I don’t get to play much. I came in second in my last (and first and only) tournament, behind a kid who was then moved up to the “advanced” class. He beat me, but no one else could.

We also like to watch movies, but in an RV space is an issue. The answer:

Blockbuster Total Access

They ship movies right to wherever we stay, and we ship them back and get more. Also we can return them to a Blockbuster store, get a free movie there and get the next one on our online list shipped. But wait, there’s more! Once a month we get a free movie or (even better) game rental. Awesome!

But there are dishes to be done, schoolbooks to be read, and games to be played. Bye! Talk to ya later!
