So we are now living in Orlando. I flew back to Chicago, Friday morning and Courtney picked me up and we went and got things done that we needed to do like pick up last check stubs, pick up my razor that was being fixed and then we went out to lunch with Dad to the Skylight on Odgen but we’ll NEVER go back there. Not because we live in Orlando but because of the slow and poor service we got from them.
After lunch we went to Corey Steel where dad works to pick up Sox tickets for my sister which by the way lost that night but later today, they play Detroit to find out who wins the AL central. After that we went back to the house and started dealing with the truck. Since there was a few things that I thought we didn’t need any more to save room in the 10′ truck we got, so we had to take things out and start rearranging things. That took us a few hours after mom started helping us. Then we got the car packed with the electronics and some other things. Then about 5pm comes around we are finally on the road. We were heading to Poseyville, IN to see Courtney’s Mom and Dad and 2 of her sisters before we made the final stretch to Orlando. We were on the road for about 6 hours and got in at about 11 pm due to mom getting tired while on the road so she started slowing down a little more.
So we spent the night at her parents house and we were on the road again by about 7:30 am, but we did stop for gas and breakfast at the famous McDonalds which we had twice which was surprising. So officially we were on the road by about 9am after our stops. We ended the day in Perry, GA which is south of Macon and north of Tifton if you have any idea where either one of those two cities are. We stopped for Wendy’s that night which had free wifi so mom had me go get my laptop and we looked for rates at hotels and found that the Howard Johnson was the cheapest even with having a pet so we stayed there for the night.
Woke up at about 8:15ish and went down and had breakfast but Courtney’s was lazy and didn’t want to come down after telling her she needs to eat. Anyways we were back on the road by about 9:30ish maybe a little later. With Courtney driving due to me being sick most of the weekend which didn’t help, anyways, we were able to get into Orlando by about 3:30ish which wasn’t bad timing at all. It took us about 2 hours to unload everything from the car and the truck, maybe less time but it may have taken that long.
After getting things kinda of worked around in the apartment, we went and had dinner and then went to supertarget to buy some food as well as a few other things we needed for the place. We got home and jason and everyone else was around so mom got to meet Jason a little more as well as John and Carlos. Did a few things around here, like relaxing, surfing the net, etc just to pass some time, then Drew came by so mom got to meet him as well. Since they were going out she wanted to wait til they were gone to shower and what not. After they left thats what she did and then not to long after that we were getting ready for bed since we knew we had to get up to return the truck, get breakfast and get her to the airport for her flight home.
Onto this morning; We wake up at about 8:30 and of course courtney didn’t want to wake up since we had to get going to get everything done. Finally wakes up, we finally get out the door and we go drop off the truck, we went to Waffle House and this morning was REALLY the first time all weekend I was able to eat without wanting to bring it back up since i was sick all weekend. After breakfast we got mom to the airport so she could check in and get to her area and what not in time even if it was a 12 something flight. Then after we dropped her off we head back and went to the Office Max courtney will be at so she could meet a few people she’d be working with. Courtney talked with them for a few and with me feeling sick again we decided to leave. We are going to go back later to meet the Store manager and what not as well. We got back to the apartment and everyone was still sleeping and with my chest now hurting and feeling sick and Courtney having a head ache we went back and layed down and slept for another few hours. I woke up, and saw others were now awake so I let Jynx out and she is loving all the attention she is getting from everyone here. With my chest still slightly hurting I decided I would just jump into a HOT shower and see if it helps which it did, so as of now I only have a cough and everything else is better then it was.
Anyways, this is long enough, so I am gonna go for now, but I will keep things updated as we go.
