Woo Hoo! As of yesterday I’m done unpacking. Didn’t I say I’d get it done in record time? I couldn’t not. Having boxes everywhere drives me crazy. I’m waiting for Brandon to build his desk, though, so there are still a few boxes left, but I’ve tucked them away so I don’t have to look at them.

I STILL haven’t gotten a refund for my damn sofa that wouldn’t fit, so I just ordered a less expensive sofa this time so I’d be under my credit limit. Since it’s less expensive I might get the matching chair and ottoman, but I definitely have to wait for the refund first and also to see if there is even room for a sofa and a chair. I’m hoping there is, because I’d like to have the chair. At least the new sofa will fit through the front hall, I measured to make sure. It’ll be here by next Tuesday. Brandon should have had time to set up his desk by then, so we should be totally done by next Tuesday.

We’ve been here about a week, but it still hasn’t really hit me that we live here now. I don’t know why. Maybe because we’re not quite done unpacking, maybe I just need to get used to it. I just have this feeling of “Okay, so when are we going back to Orlando”. Not that I want to go back to Orlando. I hated it there. But at least it was familiar.

Brandon started his new job on Tuesday so I really haven’t been able to go out much since then. I’ve been to Target a few times. We found a nearby Mexican restaurant that we like. But I really haven’t driven around much. I think it will help once we start going more places and I get familiar with the layout of everything.

I do really like the apartment so far (except for a few small things). And the cats seem to be settling in well. I LOVE having a screened porch because I can put their litter box out on it and now the apartment doesn’t smell like cat poop. I just have to get one of those pet door inserts for sliding glass doors. Right now we are just leaving the door open enough so they can get out there, but I know how much energy that’s wasting.

Anyway, now that I’m settled it’s time to get back to work. I’m so behind right now, but that’s a whole other entry…
