All Moved In

So I'm finally moved into my new home. This morning I unpacked my last box... and dumped the contents on to the floor. Who needs a place for everything anyway? Plus the boxes of books that I've thrown into the storage don't need to be unpacked anytime soon. Thus the storage sheds.

I've been sleeping on the futon mattress that Debbie sold me. You should have seen me man-handle that thing from the van into the house, then later- up the stairs to my loft bedroom. Could've killed me, I'm sure, but it got there and I survived it.

Other than that, the only furniture I have is deck furniture. A bistro set with a table and two chairs, plus two patio chairs and a lounge chair donated from my landlord. My futon frame was out of stock, and they decided not to inform me, so I've ordered another one and am awaiting it's arrival. My new pillow-top queen mattress from JCPenney is set to arrive in about a week. The little dining set should arrive in less than two weeks. I'm undecided on my bed frame. Mainly I just need to do a little more research online to see how tall my bed will be with the new mattress plus a bedframe. Looking at more of a low platform bed with drawers in it.

As we speak, there's a fire going on in our northern district. Besides my captain, myself and one other firefighter, my entire crew is down at the district office covering another engine. My captain is covering the other engine at our station, the other firefighter is comitted to a fuels project, and I'm alone on a pick-up truck. Probably not going anywhere, which is good because I need to get down to San Diego tonight to get my teeth yanked around tomorrow morning. Yippee.

I'll post some pics of my new place when I get them. They'll most likely not include furniture, but you can use your imagination.
