I'm all moved in! Mom, dad and Todd came up midday yesterday to help me settle in and to buy me some starter groceries. I can't begin to express how grateful I am to the three of them. I probably wasn't the easiest person to get along with yesterday; when I get stressed and/or tired I tend to get snippy. They dealt with me like champs, though, and we managed to get everything into the apartment before dark. I stayed up most of the night getting everything into its proper place (because I just can't leave clutter unorganized) and today I went out for a few more starter items.
Living room
Dining room/office space
Bathroom
Bedroom
It's still a work in progress, obviously. I would like to fill up the negative space on the living room and bedroom walls, but will have to wait until my first paycheck to buy anything else. I've got an idea to frame the covers of old Penguin Classics and hang them about the apartment, but all of the used bookstores I checked out today were closed. That will likely be an ongoing project.
No class tomorrow because of the holiday, but I will be spending the majority of the day coming up with my first week of lesson plans. For now, though? A nap. I think it's well deserved.
