You see the problem?

Somehow, the systems in Avis did not think so.

This was a bad Avis karma week for me. At Charlotte, instead of walking into a car, I had to wait in a queue 32 people strong – that too in the preferred center! The normal Avis line had way more. Ultimately decided on Uber.

And then faced the above fiasco in Chicago the next day. Again had to wait in a queue to get it resolved.

I am sure, by now, you have spotted the problem.

Catching up on one of the two unfinished books

What with all the moving, packing and unpacking, I am totally behind on two books I have been reading – on on Morality (in electronic form) and another on the breakup of Yugoslavia (in paper form).

Finally caught up on one of those today in our new abode. A little wary about how Jay Jay is eyeing my hard earned drink this evening đŸ™‚

Adapting to the new house

Jay Jay and I are now having to deal with the fact that we do not have our own private music room in this small house. Today, I tried a different approach. Sat on the swingset downstairs and listened to music on the bluetooth Beats.

Jay Jay showed his contempt at not getting any Pringles or being able to listen to music by hiding my other shoe! (seriously, I have no idea what happened to my other shoe)

Closing the gates to our h(e)aven

Having closed the front door, there was one last thing to do. Shut out the property. Drove my car up to the gate at the top of the hill. First act was to de-program all the codes that would open the gate. Then put the gate in manual mode so that the new owners can set up their own automatic mode codes.

And then finally, pulled the gates manually closed. Thus the property was secured for the new owners.
