The Light at the End of the Tunnel

We are 99% done moving. Tomorrow we'll move the last few odds and ends and clean the old apartment one last time before handing in our keys.

Now that most of our stuff is here (even if it isn't unpacked yet), it's starting to feel more like home. It's nice to be able to cook again instead of eating take-out. Speaking of our new appliances, I especially like the dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer.

The cats are relaxed and happy and enjoy exploring new corners or new bits of floor (each time we empty or move a box), helping us unpack, assemble new bookcases, etc.

I'm relieved to be nearly done running up and down the stairs. Since each apartment is on the second floor, I've been getting tons of exercise. One day I decided to count the number of trips I made up and down the stairs in one day but stopped counting at 30 because it was too depressing! After we are completely done moving I plan to do something less physically challenging, like run a marathon (I hear there are no stairs in those)!

Congratulations! I hope the cats have settled in and decided the new apartment is home. And I hope your leg muscles have stopped aching.

Thanks, Macy! The cats are doing great. In fact, Saffron hasn't thrown up once since we got here. That really makes me wonder about the carpet at the old apartment...

Congrats!! I know just what you mean about being able to cook vs. eating out.

Thanks, Jase. You probably won't be surprised to hear that unpacking my Tolkien books actually had a higher precedence than unpacking the kitchen. :)
