We've started moving into the apartment. Before pics are up on my blog. It's been a busy day, and we're still waiting on the gas company to show up so we can cook and take showers. They were supposed to be here between 11:30 and 3:30. It's coming on 6 now. Dispatch says the guy is running behind (no kidding) and they're sure he'll be here by 7. Sure would be nice if he'd get here so we can do something about dinner, let alone grocery shopping. We do have electricity, cable, and internet. Considering we haven't officially been here 12 hours yet, I'm impressed with that.
It's noisier here than I realized when we looked at the place. We're practically on top of a busy street, but otherwise the neighborhood seems to be pretty quiet. There is at least one Starbucks in walking distance, and frankly, it will be easier to walk rather than look for a parking spot.
The last week has been spent almost entirely on getting ready for today. It's all a blur, and off the top of my head, my major accomplishments have all included driving, mostly pulling a trailer. Driving in Dallas and Italy prepared me for living here. Thankfully, the trailer has been returned, and the van is resting in the garage.
We did make time, between our return downstate Thursday and our boomerang trip upstate yesterday, to hang out with friends Saturday night. Good food, scotch, fencing and laughter--just what the doctor ordered.
Eric still hasn't started his job. Don't get me started on the shutdown. Just pray for it to end so we can eventually start getting paid again.
So that's what's going on here. I'll be heading downstate Wednesday and hopefully things will settle down a little. Ideally, I'd like to settle into a rhythm of writing in the morning and packing in the afternoon. We'll see what happens.
