Day 1: I "moved" into my loft yesterday. Unfortunately, I've caught San Diego in its "record" cold spell (it's hitting the 20s at night, which is pretty normal in NC). Fortunately, I'm built for the cold, and even though my thermostat doesn't work, I managed to keep pretty warm last night in my sleeping bag.

Being that I live in a loft, the ground is actually hard concrete, so it's a bit uncomfortable to sleep at night. I keep waking up in the middle of the night, not being able to feel my right (or left) arm, as I've found that I've slept on it for a while.

I also forgot to pack a pillow (can you see how well-prepared I am for this?) so I've used a combination of a pillow and sweatshirt as a pillow underneath my sleeping bag (I did pack this as well as a LOT of TP, since my car won't get here until Lord-knows-when).

I called the moving company, and it seems they've pushed back the arrival date to January 23rd. Greaattt. Luckily, I had enough foresight to order furniture online and have it delivered, so I'll have a convertible sofa to sleep on tomorrow.

Pictures forthcoming...

Ah, the joys of setting up a new home in a new city. Concrete is always a blast.

20 degrees cold? Shenanigans! Average high temperature here in January is 16 degrees and low -4 degrees. I think a week ago it was about ~-20 though.. and that was durring the day!

Visiting relatives in California, though, I remember nights where it was hard to fall asleep because it was so hot, and California nights are supposedly "cold." Blargh.

But to me, Roy, you're living the life. It's always been a dream of mine to move out of ND and someplace much larger.. Without snow.

Hope things turn ut for the best.

Rats. Alright, you win in the cold dept. I grew up north of Buffalo, NY, so I know what "real" cold is, and this isn't so bad. Everybody in the office was talking about how cold it was today, but I just thought it was slightly chilly (40s).

In any case, aren't you still in high school or something? Don't you have tons of time to move???

I've plenty, but it's still nonetheless a challenge. Most of my family is located here, and Dad has this image of areas-- namely populated areas --outside of ND being nothing but trouble (and I can't blame him. The crime rate here is low, public education is fantastic.. uhm, housing is cheap)

That, and I'd like to attend a college in California.

Have fun settling in. :]

Congrats on arriving on the west coast :-)

It is chilly right now... we've had "blizzard conditions" in Seattle (meaning 1" of snow on the ground) for the last week.
