Rolling with the punches
Jul. 9th, 2009 03:16 pmWe were hoping to have our belongings by the end of this week, but when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aristeros inquired this morning as to their status, he learned that they have not even left their current location and are still 1700 miles away. Apparently someone needed him to sign and send a form but never asked him for it, or some such nonsense. We're looking at another two weeks without our stuff. (Edit: Seems that was wrong information and our goods have left their origin after all. Isn't it great when people know what they're talking about? We should have our stuff within ten days at the latest, hopefully earlier.)
On the bright side, we're in our new house. We can now go shopping or out to eat without worrying about leaving the dog in the hotel room. We had our first home-cooked supper last night: a makeshift version of ma po tofu. We stocked the fridge, we bought a bed, and as of this afternoon, we have broadband. Also, there's a cool thrift store/consignment shop here, and we scored a wooden rocking chair for $40. We're trying to decide if it would be worthwhile to buy another piece of furniture.
Before we left the last place, I bought some yarn and crochet hooks for something to do (after my other yarn and hooks had been packed and removed), and last night I began an attempt at a throw blanket. I want to model it after Lucy's Neat Ripple Pattern described here, but I made a variation, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to fit the second row on top of the first. If I make progress I may post a picture.
