搬家，真他妈累(draft)

I just realized that there are two things that could make people change their mind sets and the way they live. One is breaking up and the other is owning a home.

Owning a home does not necessarily mean owning a house or any real estate. I do the leasing and enjoy it. A home for me actually is a place where you determine how things get organized and make yourself happy and comfortable. I have to thank my parents who prepared tons of stuff for me so that I really don’t need to do much more shopping to get a new home. However, you cannot become a home owner unless you do buy something. Black & Decker’s home project kit is one of them. While checking out from target, the cashier told me her story about her attempt to get exactly the same tool kit for her husband. It was for Father’s day and she just wanted to buy such tool kit for her spouse. Unfortunately, she found that it was sold out everywhere but did not check the store she is working at. Finally she only got a cordless screw gun and a package of bits for the same price. I did not know that it is something great as a gift for Father’s day. Otherwise, I would like to wait more years. However, I think I need the tool kit badly to assemble things or fix things up before my home gets ready for my lifelong partner. What a such catch-22 situation it is!

The moving company helped me move every pieces of my "home’ into the apartment and left them there still in pieces, so I slept on couch for the first night. I was notified that a third party company would come to get my furniture assembled together. Unfortunately, they just forgot about it. I slept on the bed cushion for the second night. Beds and wardrobe were put together in the next day but they ran out of time so TV stand parts still spread out. Anyway, I eventually got to sleep on a bed for the third night. I’m imagining a "New Home Calendar" for myself which starts from the first day when I moved in and then I would be able to celebrate the "new year" for having a home and celebrate the third day of each year for having a bed.

One thing that made my day was my cellphone. As I did not get comcast installed, I found that it was super simple to get internet connection over the phone. I can browse any web sites as usual and I can even log in messenger or update my Vista. I even initiated a video call and it turned out to be so smooth. No one can tell that I was using 3G connection to talk with him.

That’s almost everything about my new home by now. Something confused and something impressed.
