Settling in
Nov. 10th, 2012 01:30 pmYesterday, I had a surprising amount of energy, I'm not sure where it came from. Possibly from having a good night's sleep after not having one the night before and maybe the medicine I'm taking for my infection. My day started at 8 am when the movers called me wondering where I was. I had meant to wake up early and meet them there but overslept so dashed around the hotel room packing things up and missed some of the groceries that I'd been smart and bought. Then I got there but they weren't there, they arrived around 9 am and finished around 10 am. I did a little bit of arranging before deciding that I needed food before I got in too deep. So I went out to lunch and then went shopping at Target and Home Depot, I didn't get everything I needed but a lot of stuff. Then I spent from about 2 or 3 until about 5 I think unpacking. I set up two multidirectional lamps for my living room and bedroom before heading out to a cafe for some internet then grocery shopping.
After I came home, I got going and sort of forgot to stop because I set up my entire kitchen, finding that a lot of my pantry had actually been packed so I don't need to buy more spices or as much tea, my bedroom and my bathroom. By the time I took a break, it was 10 pm and I didn't take much of a break, working until after midnight and then conking out. And I somehow didn't end up making myself dinner, this infection has made my appetite weird. I woke up this morning feeling sore and out of it.
My plan was to go and get delicious pancakes but that didn't work, most of my day so far has been trying to find parking. At the moment I'm at Barnes and Noble with tea and chili and a table. I don't plan on moving for a while as I'm feeling sore and a little wobbly. My living room is the big thing that I have to set up and I think I'm going to need to buy at least one more bookcase if not two. Also I have to figure out where to put all the empty boxes that I have. I still don't have internet at my place and won't until Tuesday, so I'll be around and about internet wise.
Today I'm planning on sitting here at Barnes and Nobles for a while and possibly doing some simple shopping for more light bulbs and paper towels later. Even though I'm still settling in, I already feel more rooted than I have since I arrived back in Michigan. I've also started to change my address and I need to figure out the best way to let everyone know it. Would a locked entry here work best or would a big email work? Please let me know as I want to make it possible for everyone to know how to reach me. Also expect in the coming week, a huge post of pictures, Twitter has been getting my pictures at the moment, but I'll do a apartment tour of pictures here later.
