Setting up House

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

So, I’m basically settled mentally, just need a few more items physically. I don’t have a couch or table/coffee table. Lots of stuff still in boxes in the basement but obviously I don’t need them urgently since they are still sitting where I left them when I moved in.

I bought a fancy knife. I’m so proud of my Japanese knife, it cuts like but-tah! Need a few more items for the kitchen so I’m sharing the upstairs kitchen with Charlene at the moment. It’s great she doesn’t mind.

I still have a bit of stuff at the old place. I need to take down all my art and collect more clothes and clean up the place. I’m glad my parents don’t mind I’m taking my time.
