Hello blog! I'm back!! I've missed you! I have been living in my empty apartment for almost a month now and I LOVE IT!! I have my own space, my own little corner of the world to retreat to and just decompress. It's amazing how nice and quiet it is here. Everyone is friendly and says "hi" to each other. Unreal!
So, little blog, let me tell you about my transition from houseful of crazies to utopian bliss. On the day I moved, my nephew bailed. So Tiana and I, (she was...ahem...sick that day), moved all of our boxes in by ourselves.
Later that evening, Howard and Regina helped me move in the furniture in. Howard was kind enough to give me his couch, coffee table, and tv stand. Madalene gave me here old TV. I managed to hang my two large picture frames up on the wall by myself this past weekend (note to self: must go to Home Depot and get some stuff to patch holes).
I still have to purchase a bed and dining room table and chairs, but I'll wait for my bonus in November to get those. I have been cooking...dundunduuun! Not very well, but Tiana is usually starving and will eat anything by that point! We realized the second day that w
e were there, that the apartment doesn't come with a microwave. We had to boil water in my Wok (IKEA, $8.99) for cup-o-noodles. It was the best damn meal we ever had! (note to self: must buy kettle)
So far, I have been keeping up with the cleaning pretty well. I can't stand to leave dishes unwashed in the sink and I'm constantly picking up after Tiana. I need to buy a vacuum though...it's almost impossible to sweep this rug! Too plush! :)
All in all, I'd say moving was the best thing that I ever did. I don't know why I was so afraid to do it. Now I am fearless! I have so many things that I want to do!!! I have to make a list!! Stay tuned for my next blog: Adventures in on-line dating!!
