Highlights: Emily moving in, musical rooms

He with a pick-up truck becomes everyone’s friend at moving time. Ha ha.

I was happy to help my new roommate Emily move her stuff from storage in LA. We used my truck to haul boxes & furniture down to San Diego, and get it in the house. Met Emily’s mom in the process, who invited us to brunch at Claim Jumper. Emily’s an assistant General Manager at a corporate hotel here in San Diego. Low key & easy going, she’s cool to hang out with. I’m excited the roommate situation is already a lot more positive.

Since Violet is shifting out of the master bedroom, I told her she could have any of the smaller rooms she wanted. She picked the downstairs room, so she’d still have her own bathroom,,, which is where I was living- so we’re all playing musical rooms today. I leave for Indonesia in 9 days, so I could stay on the couch, for what it’s worth to me. (=

Breaking down my own furniture & hauling it up the stairs was a feat. One of the Iraqi guys helped me lug my California king size mattress up the stairs. Now I had to take apart & re-assemble the frame in my new room. That made the rest of the day disappear, but a lot of progress is being made, so I can’t complain.

Our 3rd roommate (Kelly) is coming next week.
