I’m still here and still very pregnant.\u00a0 The move went as well as, or even better than expected.\u00a0 We had one group of friends and family members show up on Saturday morning and the worked till about 8 that night moving the big items and most of the boxes – and a second group of people showed up the next day to get the last little bits and seriously scrub down the old apartment.\u00a0 I was really concerned about how I was going to be able to do all that scrubbing.\u00a0 Instead it was two days of people telling me to “SIT DOWN!” Yes, I know I’m not supposed to be carrying big stuff around when I’m this pregnant.\u00a0 But it’s really hard to sit there and watch other people clean my home.\u00a0 It just doesn’t feel right.<\/p>\n

The new place is a little bit bigger than the old one with a nice big balcony and hook-ups for a washer and dryer.\u00a0 Mom found a used washer and dryer in great shape at an estate sale for $100 so we’re in business.\u00a0 No more carting loads of laundry two full blocks to get them washed.\u00a0 On the downside, the kitchen is tiny, tiny, tiny, so I’ll be looking for interesting places around the house to hide the non-perishables that wont fit in the kitchen.\u00a0 And no dishwasher.\u00a0 But the fridge is nice and big.\u00a0 Oh the joys of institutional living.<\/p>\n

I’m a little disgusted with the downstairs neighbor with the loud music, empty beer cans littered around his front and back door, and the fact that twice in the past week my entire apartment has smelled like pot (not that I would know what that smells like…).\u00a0 But all the other neighbors seem to be really nice.\u00a0 You have to have kid’s to live in this apartment complex, so I’m surrounded by other parents.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to making friends with people with kids.\u00a0 It’s so weird that my none of my local in-the-flesh friends have kids.<\/p>\n

The biggest frustration we’ve had at the new place is the fact that we still don’t have internet access.\u00a0 That will not be installed until Thursday.\u00a0 In the meantime, I lug my laptop down to the local wifi cafe, stick my pregnant belly out as far as I can, and hover like a vulture until someone gets creeped out and decides to let glaring fat lady have their table.\u00a0 Then I sit down, wait forever for windows to load, and then do my homework as fast as I can and hopefully get it all done before my battery dies.\u00a0 Return home, recharge battery, repeat, until I need a nap.<\/p>\n

I hope to get back to a more regular posting schedule after I have internet access at home.\u00a0 Hope all is well with you.<\/p>\n
