Moving Day

Yesterday was officially moving day, though moving is never a process accomplished in so short a time. It will be another week at least before the house is empty and another week beyond that before the apartment isn't full of cardboard boxes.

So far, the apartment is pretty nice. The rooms are spacious, we have free cable TV (and the channels come in clearly), free heat (and heat in the bathroom), copious hot water, and we are a lot closer to school and the local strip of shopping and restaurants. The downside, is that the apartment, like all apartments, has thin walls (which is painfully evident since our downstairs neighbor evidently doesn't like quiet time without the TV on......consequently we feel asleep with its murmur and I awoke to it this morning around 7:15), we have to go back to paying to do laundry, and there is this odd double door security system to get in and out. On the whole, I think it will all work out....especially with the short span of time we have left here. In two weeks, I am 2/3 done and that is followed by three weeks of holiday before the home stretch starts in January. I am giddy just thinking about it!

There is much to do and not much more to say at the moment. Back to the move.
