Something that just struck me

August 17th, the day I moved out of my house, probably for good, was the 20th anniversary of the day we moved in.

Thoughts

1. I have Internet access. $13.95 a month, no contract, and I can cancel anytime in the first month and recoup the $13.95 (or just wait until September 20 and let the account lapse, since it won't re-bill me).


2. I now have a bed that won't be just like sleeping on the bare floor. (Inflatable mattresses are great - for people who weigh about a hundred pounds less than I do.)


3. My driver's license, which I forgot to renew in Maryland, expires in five days.


4. 8:45 PM, after the sun has gone down, is probably not the best time to drive around figuring out the back routes I used to take.


5. Who the hell uses AAA batteries anymore? (Answer: Philips, the manufacturers of the universal remote that I bought tonight and can't use until tomorrow because only one other thing that I own uses AAA batteries - and it's the remote that I forgot to bring with me, that the universal is replacing.)


6. When I couldn't access the Internet this afternoon, I watched Danny Phantom (thanks, nvdaydreamer!) instead. I am now seized with the desire to write DP fanfic, although as usual I'll be damned if I know what about.
