Well, we made the move. Jeremy and I are in New York City! I was able to complete most of the things on my Cleveland "to do" list before we left, but not all. I'm sure we'll be back from time to time, so I will still have a chance to cross those items off.
A few people back home have asked me if I intend to keep my blog updated after the move. I actually never even meant to fall off the wagon in the first place, but life got really full and busy when I came home from New York last fall and it really never let up. The blog faded into the background. I was in Ohio, surrounded by friends and family. I guess subconsciously I figured why write about my life now? A lot of the people who read my blog are close by, experiencing it with me.
Anyway, I do enjoy writing, and since a lot of family and friends are further away again, I promise to keep the blog going this time.
What's new? We moved. Living in New York City has been a dream of mine for...well, practically forever. I can't tell you how excited I am to be finally doing it. I still have to pinch myself every so often and remind myself it's really true. I live in New York! There's no getting on a plane or a train in a few weeks and going back to a home someplace else. It's thrilling and still a little bit unreal.
Moving, on the other hand...not fun. Packing. Figuring out what to downsize. Living on an air mattress for an unspecified amount of time. Living out of boxes and suitcases for an unspecified amount of time. Unpacking. Figuring out where to put everything in a MUCH smaller residence that the one we left. UGH! I'll spare you all the gory details.
It took about a week and a half, but we are pretty much settled in to our new apartment. Most of the boxes are unpacked and gone. It looks and feels like a home. Harley and Cosmo have adjusted well. In fact, Harley has (so far) not retaliated and left us a "gift" outside his litter box even once! We're shocked, to say the least. Cosmo has discovered the joy (his, not ours) of sniffing out anything and everything edible that has been discarded on the street and eating it himself. And Jeremy and I are learning that as far as storage goes, vertical space is valuable space.
Pictures to come soon...as well as more blog entries. I promise!
