Yep. Now I'm thinking about how I'm going to arrange my furniture. The new apartment is a bit smaller than the old one, and it's in an old house where nothing is quite at a right angle. One wall in the living room has a non-working fireplace, which has some really pretty mosaic stuff, but it also means that I can't really use that wall for anything else, unless I cover up the fireplace.

Also, I think I might need to reschedule the internet installation, because I've got the electricity person scheduled for 8-12 on Monday, and the internet person for 10-11 on Monday, and I don't think the internet person can set up the internet stuff if the electricity hasn't been turned on yet.

And I need to buy lamps. My old apartment had overhead lights. This one doesn't.

Climbing step ladder to replace smoke detector batteries plus mild fear of climbing ladders plus vertigo equals very much not good.

Dear person who adopted Maxie (former foster puppy),

Texting me at 11:28 at night to chit chat and ask random questions about a limp the dog has developed? Really? I am not a vet. Also it’s almost midnight. Really?

Oh, dear, Pix

I'm finally catching up after a month in the land of slow and capped internet, and then a week with my family helping me move/being on vacation (this is a not terribly useful combination). Much -ma to everyone who needs it.

I have moved into an adorable little 1-bedroom cottage, where mowing the lawn will be a major source of exercise (I need to get a non-powered mower this week). It's unfurnished, though. But I managed to get a bed and a sofa from the estate sale at the house my boyfriend is house-sitting for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture.

Tomorrow will be the stock the kitchen Costco run. And I have an on-going quest to Buy All The Corelle (that I see at thrift shops). We found some glass corningware that is intended for use on stovetop, so that will be interesting to cook with.

School doesn't start for a week and a half, but I have various paperwork-type tasks to be done before that.

Have fun turning your cottage into your own little retreat, Debet.

Debet, that sounds so fun and lovely! Pictures? Also, where are you now?

Yeah, where is this Debet??

Once the place is not giant piles of clothes on the floor, I will take photos.

I'm on the northish end of Hawaii island. If anyone would like to visit, I have two air mattresses and a sofa (in addition to my bed).

Debet, congrats on the new place!

I'm bored. I suppose I should be doing more laundry. TCG is out hiking, which he hasn't been able to do much of this summer because we've been doing baby stuff, errands, and being social every weekend and probably won't get to hike much after ltc arrives. So, I'm glad he's out, but I'm still bored.

Yay for new place, Debet!

I got biscuits and gravy and scrambled tofu for lunch, then went over to flea's to borrow her air mattress, then came back to the hotel and slept most of the afternoon. Now trying to figure out dinner.
