Yesterday I got a call from the manager of the apartment I put in for. My application was accepted. I have to go in on Monday to sign the actual lease. I’ve gotten some boxes and started packing. I look forward to this probably being the easiest move I’ve done so far, and maybe the easiest I ever will do. In the past, I had to start school, so it was an all at once deal, or school was out and there was no desire to make more than one trip to or from Fargo, so it was also all at once. This time, I will likely move most of my stuff right away, but I have no real rush. I also have a lot of stuff still packed and in storage from when I graduated college, so that’s a bunch of work I don’t have to do. Getting everything out of the back of the storage space will be the worst part.
In a shocking move, Cousin Sal picked the 8-6 Vikings to beat the 12-2 Chiefs. The Cheifs, even though they are the visiting team, were the overwhelming favorites to win. As I write this, the Vikes are up 45-20 with 3:40 left in the game. I don’t see how they can lose at this point.
As of today, I have gotten all my Christmas shopping done, with 4 days to spare. I only had 4 people to buy for, so it wasn’t too bad. It’s still nice to be done though.
