Whew! A few good friends, 1 granny cart, two handcarts, a dozen boxes, 4 suitcases (and even more bags), and about 40 trips later I’ve moved into my new apartment. Tonight as I came home from work, cracked open the windows, and stared out into the courtyard/impromptu bike rack whilst sipping my wine, I suddenly found myself feeling a bit overcome. As I looked around at my very first apartment with its sloped floors and beautiful walls, it really hit home that it was ALL MINE, and I quite like that. I am still adapting to living alone. Cleaning dead bugs -20 points (borax is my new friend), dance party in the unfurnished living room - priceless.
There's still some unpacking, painting, and organizing left to do...
but it's starting to come together.
Finally, after days of gorging myself on pizza and wine, I finally made my first home cooked meal last night - garlic marinated pork chop and sauteed spinach and carrots with garlic and chili flakes
