Who would have thought getting bills would be so exciting! I found 2 pieces of mail in the mailbox today ( which I had to ask the landlord to put up because he took it down years ago. After not getting or seeing any mail for almost a month, it feels good to finally get the post card I sent to myself from work yesterday. I wanted to see if the zip code the post office gave us, would in fact, route the mail to us. Its a VERY long and grueling story. It gives me a headache thinking about it. Anyways, so yay for mail.
DIY-Self Made Dolly
May 30, 2010
Today we moved all our stuff into our place,...and moved a lot of stuff into storage as well. Here is a taste of what we had to deal with when we realized we had to move everything off and out of the moving truck (which had been harboring our whole life in it for two weeks) because we had to turn it Monday morning. Translation: Refrigerator had to be put somewhere, and it's not the apt. it was going to. Oh, and by the way...we had to leave the dolly in LA. I didn't find this out until we were in Erie at breakfast. Rumor had it, it wouldn't fit. After what I saw Roxi did in Vegas looking for some medication I had left in a box in the truck, and all her reconfiguring that happened in the casino parking lot....I don't buy it. Here is Chris and I making do with what we had at the storage unit. self made pallet dolly!!! I had to get proof!
Move in day.
I helped with this, by the way, I just needed to run around and take pics for proof!

Me Vs. Cape People

Well, we still have not moved into our new place yet. It's been almost a week and the guy has been so delayed on everything and just lags all together. I'm learning there is no sense of urgency out here. So laxed. Blows my mind. If this were Los Angeles, we would have been in our place for close to 4 days now. The guy that lived there before us, paid up until the end of the month and still had some of his stuff in the place. The renter also told me that he said if he needed it to be moved before the end of the month, no problem. What a problem it's become. I got phone call yesterday, after many phone calls, saying that the guy will be fully moved out Wednesday. That's five more days of hotel stays!! More money. And that is becoming the issue. Now we are running low and I'm scared we won't have enough to move into. We have been starting to pay everything with Chris' Amex card and the hotel bill is going to have to be put on that too. He doesn't know it yet, but the car payment will have to go on there too. I had to go and get a storage unit too, because all of our stuff will not fit into the apartment, which will be another 100.00 a month. More expensive then LA, we only paid 80.00.
To make matters worse, we are being kicked out of the Travelodge tomorrow. After almost a week of 'living' here, I got an angry call from the hotel owner today saying the housekeeper saw a cat in the window. Busted. We must leave at checkout tomorrow. Damn Superfly. I know it was him, he's been the only one trying to get to the window the whole time. Goodbye Travelodge, it's been real....tricky. Oh and thanks for making us homeless...again.
On the upside...this beach, Nauset Beach, is a mile from our soon to be new place. If he ever let's us move in.

Welcome to the Travelodge
May 16, 2010
It's Tuesday and we have been staying at the Travelodge. Everyday we have too keep extending our stay because we have been having no luck finding a place. It's been basement apartment units on the crack smoking side of town, or attic units in people's houses in the crack smoking side of town. All located in a town called Dennis. We have been warned to stay away from there. Now I know why. When you think of Cape Cod, you don't think of druggies and scary white trash and stabbings occurring at nightclubs, but I guess they have it too. Says the locals, anyways. Only witnessed the a few of the following.
Random act of kindness.
So I had spend half the night emailing every Realtor and rental company I could find around this place and was having no luck. Because the Cape is so seasonal, everyone hones in on the summer time, makes a bunch of money and leaves, and all the rentals are bought out this time of year. So oddly enough, I got a response back saying that there was two apartments in Orleans that were nice and they gave the owner's phone number. Orleans was a really pretty little town that we found randomly and just fell in love with. Its a nicer town and not a lot of openings at all, so this seemed like some real luck. We called the guy and made an appointment to see it the next day. It was so cute. LOVED it. The only problem was that a couple had came and saw it the day before us and he had given first dibs to them. Boo. Then he asked how did we even know the place was for rent, he hadn't posted it on any site yet and had just put the for rent sign out that day. I explained about the email from the person who I thought might have been his assistant of some kind. Turned out, it was the guy that had saw the place before us the following day. Weird. he worked for a housing company that I has emailed, but was not linked to or working for the renter at all. So strange, but worked out for us. Later on that night I had called and asked a few questions and expressed my love for the place and he said if we really wanted it, it could be ours. Yay!
