Hopefully you enjoyed reading about the unfolding apartment drama.
I'm sure not nearly as much as we've enjoyed going through it. Something about people constantly bringing us frustration has made me want to write more, which isn't necessarily going to happen much yet in any actually constructive way, but could possibly make for a fun blog.
Stacey and I were talking about how we're basically two weeks away and we're not necessarily overwhelmed or anything. For me, in Big Life Moments I tend to not really get engorged in them so much as think of strange small things that are a bit related but not necessarily a big deal. For example, earlier I was thinking about here we'll be having this wedding and some good friends and family will be there, and it's really one of the most important days of our lives/life but yet Flannery (the cat) will still be at Stacey's apartment doing what she always does: nap, sit in the window and chirp at birds and squirrels, eat a little out of her little cat dish, slurp water out of the bathtub instead of the waterdish, sharpen her claws and so on. The poor dear is going to be without us for about a week and I'm sure she'll wonder what's going on and be very upset when we get back (especially when we get back and start moving!). She's never been without one of us, really. She'll survive the move just fine and we know she'll be absolutely in love with the new place. One of the rooms has windows on 2 or 3 sides of it and I already know that that and my study will be her favorite places.
I'll describe the new place more once we get into it. We drove around the neighborhood a couple times tonight. It's just a few minutes, 5 or 6, east of us. It's an old Italian neighborhood, sort of like a small town just south of the Old Market area. Lots of trees and little dirt roads for contemplative walking. Trains all over. A block south of the house someone has a pony. A little Italian bakery and some place called Cafe De Paris close by. We like the new area already. A few blocks the topography elevates a little bit and we get an incredible view of the east (across the river and watching the bluffs)and north (downtown).
Now to just get rid of Stacey's place.
