I’m writing for tomorrow and am still quite exhausted, so I’m still in minimal mode.  Guitar Man has awakened me four times today, and I’ve had tons of work to do.  I ordered the first product today: my area rug.  The time before last that I moved, my area rug was the last thing to arrive.  Installing a run under furniture is never fun.  Tomorrow afternoon, I’m going back to the new place for some additional measurements.  I hope I can get some sleep.

I’m actually writing for today.  Yesterday was a mess.  When I got to the move-in interview, they had the paperwork wrong,m and when I showed them their mistake, they told me that I do not qualify for the unit after all.  After arguing for half an hour trying to explain why I do qualify, they finally put me with the Financial Services Director, who at least knew enough to realize that I am right, but needed more documentation to prove it.  I ended up having to take two more trips between their office and where I live now and their office for additional documentation.  Finally the move-in meeting was concluded, and I got the keys late in the afternoon.  From there I went to the building and measured.  All in all, I walked about two miles, had to climb this building’s horrid stairs three times, and and took four cab rides.  If the woman who helps me clean had not been with me all day to help, I would not have made it.  I returned home exhausted, but only slept a couple hours because Guitar Man went on a binge.

I have not even looked at comments, let alone answered them, so thank you to all who commented.  Today, there are no short takes.  For the next few days, we’ll just see what the days bring.

Sorry this is a day late.

I’m writing for tomorrow and hurrying to get this, tomorrow’s only article, done before going for my eligibility interview for point-to-point disability transit.  Unless things change, moving day is 12/11, and the movers I’m hiring will do most of the work.  Financially I won’t be hit overly hard by this, because I have been delaying gratification on things I wanted, and at times needed, for a couple of years to bury money in my kitty box to make this happen.  Fantasy football players, don’t forget to be set for the Thursday night game.

Kudos to Johnnyboyxo. Sie has a more authentic sense of self than any Republican hatemonger.

From MSNBC: Republicans abandon the facts to bash Obama.

Rachel can call it Obama Derangement Syndrome, but I’ll call it the hypocrisy of TEAbuggery. Obama may have omitted God, but it must have been edited into the Gettysburg address, because the earliest versions also omit it.  Republicans, however, omit God from Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christianity.

From NY Times: Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, is prepared to move forward with a vote that could severely limit the minority party’s ability to filibuster presidential nominees, possibly as early as this week, Democrats said Tuesday.

Exasperated with the refusal of Senate Republicans to confirm many of President Obama’s nominees, Mr. Reid has been speaking individually with members of his caucus to gauge whether there is enough support to change filibuster rules.

On at least three previous occasions the Senate votes to Nuke the Republican Filibastards have been there. The last time Republicans withdrew the filibuster on several nominees, including the head of the CFPB. The two times before that, Leg Hound Harry made a gentlemen’s agreement with Republicans that lasted less than a month, before Republicans broke their promise.  Senate Republicans are happy to promise on their honor, because most have none.

I’m writing for tomorrow, and as I trust you gathered from the lead article, it finally came together on my new place.  As a result, my schedule will be quite erratic over the next month, and I may or may not be blogging on any given day, with or without notice.  Tomorrow I will be going for my disabled transit interview. Friday I will be getting the key and undergoing the whole rental process at the building owner’s office.  From there I will go to the building, measure, and check out a few more details.  Saturday and Sunday I will be planning what to buy and what will go where.  Next week I will be making like a Republican: spend, spend, spend! For the next two weeks, I shall be there during the day on and off to get deliveries and arrange things.  Shortly after the 1st, I’ll be moving the most difficult thing: me and my kitty box.  Then I will have a load of things to do like get new checks change my ID, update my voter registration, and change my address with a boatload of people with whom I do business.  then there are the hundreds of things I haven’t thought of yet.  If I got this busy digging in my kitty box, I’d hit China!!

Here’s the latest from our own fantast football league, Lefty Blog Friends.

Scores:

Denver played a very conservative offensive game to protect Manning from the Chiefs’ powerful defense.  Winning the game and keeping him healthy was worth the fantasy loss.
