SUNDAY
let johnny sleep in a bit and tried not to rush him with the hopes that it would relieve some of his pissiness. no such luck...but to his defense he had driven his car the entire way...while joey and i had been trading off on the truck. johnny blew ahead of us on the hiway since the truck could only go so fast up the Rockies. only 3 hours to go till we were in our new home. caught up to johnny waiting at an exit for us about 20 miles later and drove down the rockies. now i know why they call them the Rockies. 4000 foot tall piles of rocks...all precariously balanced and waiting to fall on unsuspecting travelers such as us at a moments notice. 
pulled into San Diego around 4:00. got the keys from our property manager and let ourselves inside. luckily the electricity and water were still on from the last tenant. unloaded the bare nessecities and began to sweep up our new shit hole (god it needs a coat of paint). blew a fuse trying to screw a bulb into a badly wired socket and had to call the landlord to find out where the fuse box was. it’s down in the pit behind Jimmy Wong’s Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant... the fine food establishment above which our apartment resides. also the restaurants exhaust fan is directly above our apartment so after 4:00 pm the rooms are filled with a loud but low thrumming noise that i guess will take some getting used to. the smell doesnt seem too bad tho and as long as the pigeon infestation stays outside and the roaches stay downstairs everything should be just fine. found a place to park the truck overnight. piled all the blankets we had handy in the center of the living room and crashed out on the floor for the first night of our new life in our new apartment in our new home town.
