s e v e n i s a j o u r n e y

I’ve successfully moved into the new apartment. Yay ! The bed fits in the little bedroom, with room for one of the nightstands for the clock to go on. Not sure if I’m going to leave the bed in there or not, yet, we’ll see. It’s put together, though, and I slept on it last night and everything. Quite cozy under my comforter and Stephen’s down duvet.

Dishes are found and put in the cabinets. No sign of the silverware, though — had to buy a knife a fork and a spoon at New World (there are several shopping options in walking distance of this place; New World is the most expensive, but also the closest and with the most stable selection). Haven’t found the frying pans, either, or the box labeled “casserole dishes and spices” (though I think I saw that one towards the front of the garage) — need something to shake salt out of. I have six chairs, not counting the as-yet-unassembled futon, but no table. Ehn. It’ll get sorted.

Chris let me take the car into town with the movers, so before I brought it back, I used it to do that first big the-cupboards-are-bare shopping run (took me two trips to carry it all up from the car — good thing there’s an elevator). The cupboards are *still* bare, but that’s because anything that didn’t need refrigeration just got bunged down on the kitchen floor, before I took the car back to Silverstream for dinner (and a spot of rugby — Canterbury *pasted* North Otago, like, 70 to 12. Makes the All Blacks/Wales game look positively close). The train I was aiming to take back to town doesn’t run on Fridays, so between getting home and building the bed, I got to sleep kind of late, but when I woke up on my own at 5AM I gave the clock the finger and went back to sleep for another hour. Huzzah !
