Empty
Well, now that I finally have internet access set up at my new apartment, I guess I might as well let you know that I did finally make it through all of the packing and such, both in the lab and in the apartment. The lab looks incredibly empty and sterile:
and the new apartment kind of did too:
though I had a moving company come out on Tuesday to move all of my stuff (totally worth paying someone to do that, btw), so that living room is pretty cluttered with boxes right now. That leaves me where I am now: in the process of unpacking and outfitting a new apartment. My new roommate will be moving in on Saturday, and she'll be bringing the futon and TV and such, which will help the place feel not quite as empty, and we'll probably go out and get some basic supplies....
... but in the meantime, I have to figure out how to feed myself. My kitchen is rather empty right now (of food, not of stuff); I brought over a few things from my old apartment and I did an emergency grocery run yesterday, but I think the sum total of the food that I have is:
(I'm kind of kidding, btw - I'm leaving early Sunday morning for Maine for a week-long conference, so I really only have to feed myself for two more days before someone else starts taking care of my meals for the week. I can probably subsist on egg salad and peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches for that long! And I'm sure that new roommate and I will go shopping ASAP once she's moved in :-)

- 1/2 gallon of milk
- salted butter
- mayonaise
- mustard
- dill relish
- eggs
- 1/2 lb green beans
- 1/2 lb rainier cherries
- whole-wheat bread
- peanut butter
- jelly
- cream cheese
- frozen cranberries
- frozen crepes
- fresh mozzarella
- chocolate
