HKG028: Mid-Level Deep in Moving

today has been a pretty crazy day of getting our new place set up. it's just about done...just a few more essentials to get, and we are set. while today was LOOOONNNNNGGG and hectic, i think it's safe to say that we all feel more settled and at peace tonight as the house has come together.

i think i mentioned that the temps here are usually in the 50s and 60s. i think the lowest it's gotten since we got here was in the high 40s. well, it turns out that 60s and humid feels different than 60s and dry. josh and i froze our tails off last night...we did not yet have a blanket for our air mattress, and the combination of the air mattress and the wood floor meant we were very cold.

a neighbor came by and introduced herself and one of her children this morning, and then invited us to come to her apartment, which is next door. as soon as i walked in, i noticed it was nice and warm...she pointed out a tiny space heater tucked into a corner. it heated the whole apartment. we will be getting one of those. apartments here have window A/Cs, but no heaters. you wouldn't think you'd need them, but you do.

since i have not had my computer plugged in for about 36 hours, i also have not had my phone plugged in (use a USB cable to charge the phone), and thus no pics. i promise to get some good ones tomorrow. first up is a picture of the measly 10 items of laundry that our new washer/dryer combo unit is able to handle. there were originally 13 items in the unit, but i finally hung 3 of them out to dry after two cycles failed to dry them. hooooh, boy is this going to be different. i purged 6 bags worth of our clothes tonight, and i will be purging probably that many more over the next week or so. there is just no need to store all that clothing when we have so little space to store it in or wash it in!

because of our internet woes, i missed several skype dates this morning. i will reach out to the friends and family we missed in the next couple days. i tell ya what...starting my day skyping with family and friends has become a nice habit. i thoroughly missed that this morning.
