Time to Move Again

Today it rained and rained and rained.

There is a cockroach in the bathroom. We nicknamed him J.D., since we've been watching a lot of Scrubs. (J.D. is the main character. He's not easily compared to a cockroach, but we wanted to make the real cockroach seem friendly and cute.)

I think we have finally decided on the work trade place we're going to move into. We kept debating between a room in the six-bedroom (a bunch of male roommates, no parking, a big kitchen, internet, cable) and a little house right by the Lodge (noisy traffic, kinda dirty, leaks, no fridge, no oven, no internet, no T.V., no parking, but a nice bit of space for two people) and decided on the house--it's technically room #10 at the Lodge. They will put in a fridge and another bed for us, and we'll have to make due with a tiny stove-top burner thing and no oven. But it'll be our very own place, and we can take some ownership and make it look pretty, and use the internet on the patio at the Lodge. This work trade comes with some nice perks--free laundry, cleaning products, toilet paper, dishes, toaster, microwave, furniture, sheets and towels.... Not bad at all. And it's great when guests leave cool stuff behind. We've collected sugar, flour, tea, salt and pepper, magazines, several dollars in coins, sunscreen, beer, posters, a sweatshirt, chocolate-covered almonds, cereal, soap, and shampoo.

So anyway, we will move on Jan. 1. I will post pictures :)
