Welp, I've moved in - not settled, but moved in and fully functional.
Twas a messy past day or so - between the wicked heat, lots of voluntary "excersizing" moving boxes after furniture out and across NoVA and into an un-airconditioned 3rd floor apartment. Suffice to say, I have all my crap into the apartment (pictured in 2nd pic) - where do I even begin to start unpacking. I did all the essentials - bed first, coffee machine set up & ready, alarm clock (I had to work today, yesterday was the move), bathroom things in place, basic kitchen stuff, and lastly, my computer setup. I tried to set up my mac last night - but the CD writer is somehow farked - prolly from being neglected for 1.5 years. Sobeit..I was to have my new Dell come this week (pictured) - and it came today. So I haphazardly set it up - but I now have full high speed net access and everything plug n play, printer etc (I managed to install the basics (photoshop, drivers for my camera) so I could transfer a few pics (pictured), resize them, upload them, and just waste the pixels you are reading about it.
Settled? Not remotely. I have a full week of baby steps after work and my ultra marathon cycling training - I can spend a few hours unpacking and setting thing up. It's fun though - never a dull moment.

My new apartment? I LOVE it. It's fantastic - more about it at a later time with pics (after I get settled). I love my deck - must be about 20-25 feet long, I've already put a few adorondack chairs out there - just need a table. And time to garden...more on this later. And the pool, love the pool - will go there this weekend.
The air conditioning did get fixed yesterday afternoon that I moved in - it was hot as hell, in the high 90s with 80% humidity - I think I lost 10lbs. Suffice to say, I did not go on a training ride yesterday.
Time to go back to the wall of boxes.
