- My bedroom is unpacked!!!!!!! There are still like 3 boxes that I have to wait and unpack when I get my last bookcase from my dad's (and I have some junk at my mum's) some of this stuff has not been unpacked since 2 moves ago - like 2 years in boxes! I had forgotten I owned a lot of it.
- I really like my room here (except it doesn't have space for my ratties, I had to put em in the basement) It is BLUE. and cozy. and MINE.
- The yard is great for the dogs to play in, and means I can be a bit lazy in the walk department while I lug boxes and unpack stuff. (OMG MY legs are killing me. We have a million stairs).
- My Mum's birthday today and Naomi's tomorrow so going to dinner at my dad's in a minute (gotta let the dogs out to pee first). Gonna have CAKE.
- We cannot fully unpack most rooms yet though as the floors and cupboards and stuff are yet to be refinished. We are making a list of stuff to be fixed as there was like a 3 hour gap between tenants on this place and some repairs need doing. Hopefully they'll be done soonish - I am hosting a seder this year. Mum bought me a million pounds of kosher chicken and 2 18 piece jars of gefilte fish. Dad thought I was kidding when I asked him to buy me a dozen or so boxes of matzo. Last year I got yelled at a few times for eating a box a day or thereabouts. LOVE the stuff.
- Our shower works. We couldn't use it the first night cause they refinished the tubs but now it works and is super hot with great pressure. Yay. I am a terrible person and shower forever even after it goes cold I do not get out. Once I sorta fell asleep in the shower.
- The net didn't work at first. Called a technician. Turns out it is important that the outside cable feed be connected to the inside cable line, yet it had been unplugged. Obviously works now. Lots to catch up on, but now is not the time. CAKE!
- We have nice neighbours. Vicky met the grown ups, I conversed through the fence with the kids as I threw all their wayward toys back to them (it wasn't a robot, it was BILLY!). Both sides have dogs too. Bella the Bernese on one side and a Cocker I haven't heard the name of yet on the other.
