Good Wednesday

I know, it's Saturday now, but I kept putting this off. Wednesday was a good day. It was the coolest day in a couple weeks (in both the "good things happened" sense and the temperature sense--it wasn't even supposed to hit 80 here), so I decided to do some things I had been putting off for a while. I needed to figure out storage for the move--since I have to be moved out by the morning of the 26th, and can't move in until the 1st--and visit my bank to sign up for e-statements. I had mapped out where two storage companies were, and planned to visit them first. The first one had a sign about redirecting mail, and didn't seem like it was open--or would ever be again. The second had a sign stating that their office had moved. So I went to my bank. Everything there went fairly smoothly--even though the person helping me wasn't 100% sure on the procedure.

When I left the bank, I decided to visit the Veritas offices--since they're only about a block away--to use their internet to regroup and plan my next move. When I arrived, the only person there was the newest staff member--who also happens to be the coolest bass-player's wife I know. As I was figuring out where to go next, the drummer/creative arts director/head of the tech team and his wife arrived. He asked what I was up to, and I explained the storage problem, and he offered me the church storage unit--since all the church stuff stays in the trailer. Not being someone who often turns down free stuff, I accepted. Shortly after, his wife was going to head downtown, and offered me a ride home. This saved me a 2.5 mile walk, and allowed me to get home with plenty of time before the US Women's World Cup team took on France in the semis. I watched both of the semi-final games, then got ready to head out to welcome the East Asia team home.

When the time came, there were around two dozen people there to welcome the East Asia team back. They all seemed somewhat out of it, but they had been traveling for about 24 hours so you had to cut them a bit of a break. It was good to see them all back safely--and they seemed happy about the crowd that had come to say hello for the first time in 2 months.

Well, I'm going to end this post now. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the movie I'm watching--Iron Man 2--the pitch-by-pitch updates on my baseball team (I usually can't get interested in actually watching baseball, so I just "watch" it on the MLB's website) and typing out only what's pertinent to this post all at the same time.
