It took almost a week to finish painting my place. But finally that was completed this last Sunday. Big thanks to Billy & Jen, Marie & Sang, Aly & her nephews, and last but not least my wonderful girlfriend for dedicating their times to help pitch in in giving my walls a much needed face lift.

Marie and I went back yesterday to clean the carpets. It took almost the whole day but we left my place with a wet but clean carpet. I went back today and found that majority of the carpet is dry. This means move in day has officially started! I spent the day gathering all my belongings from my parent’s garage and have it ready for the move.

On a down note, my car has been making a weird grinding noise. I suspected that it was something to do with the transmission. My dad and I took it to the local mechanic and they confirmed that I need a whole new transmission. That means I’m out another $2400 and no car for a week.

This blows because I wanted to buy a washer and dryer, a new bedroom set with a bed, a couch, and finally a new television. It’s so tempting with all these great sales for Black Friday. I can’t even finance because of my projected negative cash flow. I guess my Christmas will start next year when I get my tax return.

Last weekend we took some time off to go camping. Not just the plain tent camping but rather RV camping. It was our first time staying over and camping in a RV. RV was provided by my sister’s friends. The location wasn’t anything desirable but the experience was great. We didn’t have our camp fire but we did have a warm RV to sit around and chit-chat. Not to mention home cooking straight from the kitchen of the RV.

It was interesting seeing how people setup and pack up their RVs. I may consider getting one later in life. Much later in life. But for now I’m fine with tent camping. One thing for sure, I’m not camping in the winter!
