Friday - 7/4/8 - Look at house. Like the house. The area doesn't seem too bad. Hand over cash and get keys.

Saturday - 7/5/8 - No city utilities. Call to AT&T for phone and internets. Deposits for phone. Try to put order in on Vectren website. They say Wednesday for turn-on. Begin moving meager possessions.

Sunday - 7/6/8 - Last of moving.

Monday - 7/7/8 - Phone turned on. I don't check it. After a little running around (make sure you have a lease or a real receipt!) power is scheduled to be turned on later in the day with water coming tomorrow. Simple process and helpful staff. Few hours later I have power. Call Vectren to confirm since they never called me. Order wasn't placed. So place the order. More deposits. Computer still at previous secret location on outskirts of Elwood. Selling print ads.

Tuesday - 7/8/8 - Water first thing in the morning. I waived having to be there, but ended up being there. Gas man in early afternoon. Good guy. Simple process. (Well, mostly...) Having all these, I spend my first night at the new place. Computer is here, but no Internet. Funny how that was what took the longest. Selling print ads.

Wednesday - 7/9/8 - As 8pm deadline for internet approaches, I begin to worry. Although phone was turned on Monday, I never actually checked it. So I do and there's no dial tone. I hope it might be a broke phone, but a landline phone plugged directly in doesn't work. Crap. Call to AT&T repair to set up appointment - by Friday at 8 p.m. Crap. That won't work. Their automated repair ticket system gives me instructions on figuring out if trouble is inside or outside. After getting into the customer side of the Network Interface, I plug the phone into the jack here and get a dial tone. Not good. Problem must be inside. Turns out it was in the network box - an unplugged plug. Dial tone inside now. Sweet. Internet too. Selling print ads.

Thursday - 7/10/8 - Third night and things are looking good. Selling print ads.

-----------

Overall, a good move into the city. Feels good to be in Anderson. I mean that.

Heh. I don't know. Maybe a barbecue soon? Have to get a grill, though. What says the community?

I think it's the place I was telling you guys about.

West side....not so very far from Tommy's Pizza.  I'm not going to name the street you told us.

A cookout would be great!!  Big lots had some on sale too....the grills that is.

We could all just meet up at Tommy's Pizza, I really like their pizza, and want to try their pasta.


As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. 

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
