Had blood work the doctor ordered yesterday morning, followed by breakfast at the Filling Station (the other restaurant owned by the dos locos), then hit every thrift/consignment store I could find in an effort to find a small kitchen set and/or living room chairs and loveseat. Everything worthwhile was already sold and awaiting pickup. This kind of shopping isn't a viable option for a guy with one day off each week.
Did 2 loads of laundry when I got back to the apartment. What a luxury to have a laundry room right downstairs instead of driving 15 miles each way to do the deed. Emptied more boxes during washing and drying cycles. Nice!
On the next day off the search will continue for a computer desk so the printer and speakers can be connected, and a chair as well.
Enjoyed a festive martini followed by a supper of broiled rosemary chicken and my grandmother's artichoke salad last night.
The move concluded just in time. The tourists begin arriving this evening to kick off the Memorial Day weekend - the official start of Summer. The car is parked across the street. Walking to work for the very first time today. With my luck I thought it would be rainy, but the forecast is for sun and warm temperatures with light breeze. The new life begins now.
More later.

And the next chapter of As Wayne's World Turns begins. Good luck! As I was returning from work tonight I was blinded by the headlights of the steady stream of vehicles traveling south on Rt. 1 to see YOU and Dos Locos. Make sure you have your big panties on this weekend. It's gonna be crazy!
