I had about an hour's sleep Wednesday night...wide awake most of the night trying to organize the move in my mind. Today was the day I got the keys to the apartment!
Mary arrived a little after 11 A.M. for her overnight visit and we drank coffee and yakked until leaving to pick up Faye at 1 P.M. I'd already loaded up the car with a few boxes of clothes, not wanting to give us anything too heavy to cart in to the apartment. Sorin, the superintendant, was right there ready to show me my parking space, storage locker, and hand me a heck of a pile of keys. He had to show me how to disable one of the elevators for the moving men, too. I sure hope I remember all this stuff.
His wife was in my apartment still painting when we got there and it's a lovely shade of very light beige which suits me fine. I'd been inside twice but still had missed the number of closets and room size so it was interesting to see how much closet space I had but how small my 2nd bedroom/craft room actually was. It will all work out some way, some how. The little dining area was even smaller than I remembered but my 50" desk will fit in perfectly. The parquet floors were not as dark as I remembered, too, and I liked them better. All in all, I'm even happier about how the place looks than I was before.
Mary, Faye, and I left for the casino where we spent about 6 hours gambling...Mary won about $160, I won $25, and Faye lost $20. Great day!
We dropped Faye off at home and then Mary and I came to my house to drink gin & tonic and gab. We did this until 4 A.M. I don't know how I'm surviving on so little sleep but I'm sure to crash one day soon and sleep for 24 hours. And then I was up at 8 A.M. this morning feeling quite rested.
This is such a happy time for me, a drastic change in living conditions that will free me to drop a lot of responsibilities off my shoulders. Life is good!
