Warts and All

I love our new apartment, warts and all.
We moved in on Saturday. It started out as an uneventful, easy process and we were ahead of schedule. Then we suffered some mishaps, one very serious and the rest not so much. I will write about those a bit later. But we are in the new place and I couldn’t be happier.
The bedroom is tiny, the hallways cramped and the stairways narrow and steep. Some of it is worn badly and the whole place needs to be cleaned thoroughly. We aren’t bothered by any of that. It’s quiet, and it’s conveniently located, It is in an old and very solid building that is quaint and full of character, as converted houses often are.
I haven’t been sleeping very well, but that’s not unusual after a move. Siofra did not enjoy the process one bit. But she has since settled down and she’s having fun exploring and finding new places to nap. She had never seen stairs before and it took her a while to get the hang of them.
I have a lot of work to do. So far I have settled the bathroom, and I am currently working on the kitchen. It’s a slow process, but soon we will be settled. The stress of living in that complex has vanished, and I feel a healing process beginning.
We are happy, the three of us. And looking forward to life in Concord.
Good to hear you’re well situated in Concord. Hope you and yours enjoy all it has to offer.
Just catching up with my blog reading and so happy to hear you’ve moved and things are going well. Hope you have some pictures of Siofra getting to grips with stairs!
