Apartment Life Update

It has been a little over a month and we are now, unfortunately, settled into the Texas apartment. I am still hating on the girl upstairs. Now, I not only get to hear the bouncing hyena every morning at 6 AM, but she has decided to do early morning house cleaning at 7 AM, and starts with the vacuum cleaner. I use to love staying in bed on Saturday mornings, no more. As I am writing this she is up there pounding away at something, or maybe she is just marching in place. Who knows, but I really want her to STOP!!!!!!!

When you are sick you get to sit a pool , in your PJs,
 with your blanket and pacifier watching Sesame Street.

Last night was a long night, couldn`t sleep, slept on the couch (when I did sleep), and my husband left at 4:30 AM for a flight to LA. Whoopie, the hyena upstairs, started her jumping and running at 6 AM, and my daughter called at 7:30 AM to see if I could babysit my sweet sick Grandson. Of Course! The day was just as long as the night, but I loved every minute of holding that sweet baby all day. He is feeling much better this evening, must have been Meemaw magic. I am pooped and ready for an early nights sleep.

Speaking of poop, we have been collecting the pooch poop bags in a trash bag on the patio. It has been in the upper 90`s and the 100`s the last week. I cannot tell you what cooking pooch poop smells like. Hope the girl upstairs is getting a whiff. Payback for the bouncing hyena.

Being cooped up in a small apartment means we need some entertainment in the evening. It is hard to find things to do when you don`t have your stuff. So, we decided to watch a very popular TV series. We bought the first 3 years on DVD, and when we went to watch them we found that our the DVD player was not hooked up. That is because they gave us a player that is not compatible with the TV, not very helpful. Instead of exchanging it for a working player, they just left it in the apartment and laid the wires on the table. Lucky for us our daughter is close and had an extra player that was compatible. Love having family close by.

Still trying to get use to the whole Central Time thing.  Most of my family is an hour later (blue), and my son in Tucson (tan) is two hours earlier. As you can see by the map, Tucson would only be one hour earlier (red ) if they recognized Daylight Savings time. Indiana saw the light (no pun intended) several years ago, come on Arizona, come to the "dark side", or is it the "light side"? My son is not bothered by my forgetfulness, but the rest of my family may be getting tired of the late night calls and texts. I won`t even get into all the TV shows that are on an hour earlier and how that is so hard to get use to. Over 50 years in the same timezone means it may take more than a month to get use to the new timezone.
 I just need a little more time (pun definitely intended). Sounds reasonable to me.
