"Apartment's Temporary, Jobs Permanent"
Text this morning from Mom - moved into the apartment last night and I have to say that I hate it. Banging my knees as I walk around the bed is not fun. BUT, it's somewhere to call home and I'm moved in.
Did my first grocery shop last night - efficiency is going to be key to a ton of things here - wrote my list and put my walking shoes on. (Told you shoes are going to be critical!) Liquor first - shah and then off for basics - mixers (shah) and breakfast stuff. Three bags later and it's time to walk home coz that's all that's going to be purchased.
Dinner was at a cool Dominican restaurant next door to the apartment. Best part was watching the firemen at Station 12 coming back and parking the trucks. . .
This morning was definitely a cooler New England morning - it's rained and the temps have dropped. As I was walking to work, I found a new grocery store on 17th - this looks a lot better than the one from last night. As I was walking, this chick with red dyed hair is walking near me and after awhile called out to me and then asked if I was lost! She's really cool, told her I was new in town and was taking my environment in. Note to self, head swiveling about is probably a dead giveaway that you're not from here.
