Well we have been here for a week and there are only 3 boxes left to be unpacked. It wasnt as bad as I thought (getting here) and the unpacking part was OK. I have somewhat settled into staying at home with JP while Jason goes to work but I dont know how long that will last. Most things (Walmart, a chain grocery store, etc) are really 30+ minutes away. I dont know how people live like this. This isnt real life.
Speaking of real life, I have cooked 2 meals since we have been here now that the kitchen is unpacked. I feel like I have taken a few steps back into the 1930s with the stove/oven. There are 2 ovens that are on the top of a range that pulls out from what looks like a drawer. I shit you not, I cant make this up. There is also only ONE, yes one, drawer in the entire kitchen. So my silverware went in there and I dont know what else to do with the other gadgets that are usually in kitchen drawers. This is also the first kitchen in my life that doesnt have a junk drawer. I thought those came standard in a kitchen? I guess not. I also dont know what I am going to do with all my cookbooks since there isnt enough counter space for them and there is no where to put up a shelf. I'm sure I'll get it figured out about 3 days before its time to pack it up again.
Jason and I are heading about 2 hrs away tomorrow to pick up a washer and dryer we bought on Craigslist and I hope it fits in the space we have for it. Either that, or I will be placing an ad on Craigslist for a washer and dryer. LOL! Its interesting living in an apartment that is connected to a hotel. I have seen a few weirdos and I am sure that I will see more. There is always noise in our bedroom since it backs up to the laundry room of the hotel. That has been fun when the dog is barking at the wall in the middle of the night. I hope she gets used to the noise soon because she is driving me nuts with all the barking.
Everyone here has been really nice so that is a plus. I dont know how used to living here I will get, or how used to it I really want to get. I know that real life is waiting for me 11 months from now.
One week down...
