Day 4

One NEW Day At A Time

Day 4

Tuesday, August 26, 2014

As soon as someone is available to help, I will be changing the name of this blog to “One NEW Day at a Time”.  I started numbered days over from the day I actually began living in the apartment instead of the old house.

I know there have been many who criticized me for this move for many reasons.  While they were (and still are) valid reasons .. the overriding factor is that this is MY lie.  I felt I had to do what was in my best interest.  I won’t say it’s been easy.  It’s been painful and difficult, and exhausting mentally and physically.

But, it’s done.  And even though there is a ton more to do, things start over here.I’m anxious to finish unpacking and just “get on with it”. 

The main part of the move on Saturday went well enough, though not without some glitches.  By the end of the day, things ended up strangely assorted (to me at least), though I guess there is a sliver of logic.  I’m working my way through what is here.  We’re waiting for the maintenance guy to get here to install the a/c in the living room (but we’ve had lovely cooler weather and it hasn’t been a priority), and also unstick my closet door (which IS a priority!). 

The kitchen is on it’s way to being set up.  The furniture in my room is in place … not quite as originally planned but a way that will work well for me. I will be glad to finish the boxes in the middle of the floor and get my rugs down.

I need to make a list for our “handy man” guys to tackle … attaching the mirror to my dresser, hanging (multiple) pictures, helping me figure out curtain rods (well, that might be DSis I think).

Maggie seems to be extremely happy here.  As I anticipated, she enjoys laying in the window sills.  She divides her time between my room and the living room (though she may on be as happy there once the a/c is installed.  OTOH once things are squared away, she may like the dining room window.

DN and I have walked up to the shopping center every day … even Saturday!    It’s uphill; and by the time we get back my legs and feet are very achy.  But we’ve made it.  Today she has an appointment; I may just walk around the courtyard, but I will get out. 

I’ve not got my computer “system” set up yet so I can use a bigger monitor.  So until I get that done, I may not write every day.  But I will try to do it often enough that no one starts wondering what’s happened.  And not *too* often because I rather like that someone occasionally calls to check on me if I don’t write. J

This is enough for today.  It’s frustrating to have to keep back spacing because I hit the wrong keys.  I used to know how to type, but apparently my fingers have forgotten!  It’s time toget my 2^nd cup of coffee and unpack a box or two!
