What a 48 hour whirl wind this has been. After my 51 lb bag got cleared through without extra fees, my flight getting delayed 5 times, T's flight from St. Louis being delayed by 4 hours, one 25$ cab ride, and a quick run to the subway- we both have made it- together to Manhattan!
After we both got to the apartment, we dropped our stuff (it was about 7:00 pm at that time)- and went out to start our gathering of things- every single thing possible. Food, pots, pans, bake ware, silverware, the works. I never knew how many little things went into making an apartment home- one thing I do know, it is 100% exhausting. We finally ate dinner at midnight last night and crashed around 2am. Around 5:45 am I woke up to the voice of our very Russian door man- apparently there are gaps in our front door that allow sound from the hall way to travel, and his voice was not the first thing I wanted to hear this morning. But it happened, and so I was awake for the day. This day was filled with nonstop apartment shopping. We went to every TJ Max, Marshalls, HomeGoods in the city- bought as many things as possible, and as many things as we could carry (we forgot our bubby cart at home that we have lovingly named Barb). And then after that adventure, headed up to East Harem to the only Target in the city and got the rest of the necessaries we were not able to get earlier in the day- great steals on flatware and random kitchen stuff, and then of course no apartment is complete without a Swiffer.
Now... there is just one thing missing- well, actually a bunch of things missing- OUR STUFF. Tonight is night 2 on the air mattress and amazingly enough, our last! Finally, after all the issues with the movers, they are bringing our stuff between 9-11 tomorrow. That means we can actually start to set up our apartment, instead of piling everything in the middle of the floor like it is now...
More to come, and I will figure out how to load pictures!
Peace, love and need a good night sleep... in a real bed,
B
