Moved
Our movers showed up an hour late, but then managed to get everything out of our old place and into our new one in 2 1/2 hours. Add 3 car trips (one of which was to bring just the cats) and we were 100% moved in. We did some cleanup of the Apartment of Doom and turned the keys in at 11:30 am on Saturday. After that, we took an epic trip which featured getting $50 in credit at the used bookstore (all of which we spent on the spot), $35 (cash) at the used video game store, and an epic round of shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond out in Queens. After shopping, we went to Flushing for pho and bubble tea.
This morning we had our first breakfast (coffee & oatcakes) and our first lunch (haggis on toast) in the new place while unpacking and setting the place up. Much more of that to come. The arranging of the bedroom will prove to be an interesting matter. Measuring tape, graph paper and scale drawings are likely to be involved.
Oh, and there are 5 unlocked wifi signals available (plus about 10 locked ones), so it seems the wait until Friday's visit from the cable guy won't be so terrible.
Thanks for all the good wishes from the previous post.
