I’m now moved in. 10 days already. Of the things from my previous post that I needed to do, the following remain: apply for a PA drivers license register the car and get PA tags I got to IKEA today and managed to buy stuff that I’ve need since my relocation in May.

I am no longer homeless. I found a place to move into. But not until the weekend before Christmas. It looks like I’ll be able to move in on the 23rd. That’s a Sunday.

It is 6:48 am on Wednesday morning. John and Ruth had a golf game yesterday at 8:10 am. After they returned, we went to breakfast with at Tony’s Diner. I spent the afternoon at Busch Gardens, riding roller coasters. John loaned me his car to drive there.
