Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Today is my father's birthday. He turns 51 although I'm not sure he would want me to announce that. I wish him the best birthday ever and I wish I was there to celebrate with him. I miss working with him. We made every work day a fun day and I know he misses our chats, even though I sometimes used them to get out of working. He might not admit it but I think he misses having little Gizmo out in the shop or down in the basement when he is invoicing! I sure miss our discussions about life and the jokes he would tell. I can't wait to see you at Christmas Dad!! I hope your birthday is a great one and hopefully mom is making you a double batch of popcorn tonight!!

As for my day, it has been going pretty good so far. Last night was good too. I went to view the two places. I liked them both but would prefer the basement suite as that has everything included. It is in a good location, ground level so I shouldn't have a problem with water again, and just an all around nice place to live. The problem I found with it, one the lady who is in there now seems like a bit of a hoarder which worries me only because I do NOT like rodents or spiders and both of those enjoy crowded and messy places to hide. Eeek! The place is very clean though so as long as I could view it before move in or before I hand any money over. The other issue with this place is that I can only move in at the end of the month. It is a little over my budget as well but I could make it work if I could move in soon. That way I could still get some of this months rent back from my landlord now and D.D. before the 15th. Oh well, Me and Emmy are going to look at another place on Saturday at 2:00 and I hope that this one will be available ASAP. I will be having a very busy week next week. Might not work a few days so I can move.

Tonight, I have a coffee date with a friend and need to make it to the bank this evening. I feel like I have hardly been home at all lately. I have been really busy with viewing places but I haven't eaten at home in days and basically just a place to sleep during the week. I am very happy about having Monday off from work. Anyday off from here is a great day! It will be a busy one, doing laundry and getting some more things packed. I hate to live out of boxes for a while but it would be nice to have everything ready to be moved. It is also very crowded in my place having everything in one room. Wish me luck :)
