This past week has been non-stop action, what with moving, buying things to setup our new apartment with and starting a new job. I haven’t even had the chance to fill my fridge and pantry with much of anything. I’ll wait to take/post pics of the place once everything is settled and looks less like a storage space. Hopefully by this weekend, things will start to settle down a little.

I also discovered that my work is only a mere 5 minute walk away from where I live! I have no idea how I lucked out on this. If you know me well enough, you’d know that I have always lived far from anything and everything. It would always take me an hour to an hour and a half to get anywhere. Even when I was a kid, the nearest playground/park or corner store was a 15-20 minute walk!!! And so with that I must say that I’m really liking this new arrangement. I especially like my mornings (i was never a morning person before), as I sip my morning cuppa tea out of my Jamie Oliver mug that says “Big Fella” on it, I step out onto my back porch and there right in front of me is the beautiful Ipswich River.

My cat is definitely not as jazzed as I am. For the past 4 days she’s been turning away from me every time I tried to pat her — probably thinking I’d move her to some other strange place. She even started drinking her water by cupping it with her paw first. Only tonight when Tim and I put together some furniture and laid down a soft rug did she start to get back to her old self. She’s sleeping beside me right now.

The only thing that’s really missing right now is sharing these new experiences with my friends and family who are far away Hopefully some of you will come and visit!
