I asked a friend of ours to come over and help me with the waterbed. It has to be drained so it can dry out before going into storage. So this has to be the easiest time ever draining this thing. There was even one time we had to lay stuff on the bed to try to get it to drain.

Well we stuck the hose in and just threw the hose out the nearest window. Since our bedroom is on the second floor, this was a pretty steep fall. It wouldn’t start but he’s great at siphoning (They’ve a pool he says he has to siphon stuff off the top every year) so he got it started and whooosh! Well we thought we might have some trouble but apparently not. It drained almost totally out and we were able to get the rest out by flipping it over the drain in the shower. Awesome!

So anyway, after getting the water started, we took apart all the electronics stuff upstairs. All the cables and everything. So that’s good.

Today during the day, I brought everything left upstairs. Well I’ve packed all of that now. So other than the furniture… there’s nothing up there left! All that’s down here is laundry and some loose things. I’m going to work on loose things tomorrow. Downstairs in the basement is just about done as well. But I’m happy!

Since that didn’t take us long to unhook all the electronics and stuff, we talked. He asked about the new toy so I showed it to him and we ended up playing Halo. You know, I was never into the whole first person shooter, which Halo is… but OMG was it fun. Of course neither of us knew what we were doing and so we were going “Did you just shoot me?” and stuff. We got totally lost on that first space ship level while not being able to figure out how to duck. And of course my favourite was when he looked at me and goes “Um, if you throw a grenade? Don’t just stand there, BACK UP!” Guess how he had just died? HEHE. So then we finally made it off there and onto the planet for I guess the next level? Well it says “Evade the enemy” or something to that effect. We both go, “Evad??? Naw… let’s blow them up!” Bwahahahahaha.

So I figure mom and I will have a blast. We’ll just totally run around in this game like a bunch of dorks not knowing how to do anything and just try to blow stuff up and end up blowing ourselves up. *SNICKER*

We did talk about gaming a bit. He is trying to convince me to get Sir M and myself back into Diablo. Of course that would take knowing where Diablo was. ROFL. He’s got a PS2. I guess most of their games are 1 player. Why are so many games one player? Argh! Games are more fun multiplayer. I know that’s the problem we have had with our game cube. Finding multiplayer games. And then a lot of times they are not multi at the same time. Playing with people is MORE FUN dangit! And I’d like the option of not having to go online… though that’s fun too. But really, I’d love a system we can play on together. DH and I like to game with each other.

OK, it’s late. I’m going to brush my teeth, settle into my sofa, and go to sleep. Tomorrow it is going to be finishing laundry and packing. it’s odds and ends now. A few bits of laundry. Linens. That sort of thing.
