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 2nd cup of coffee and unpack a box or two!
