Right now, I am enjoying my first cup of coffee in my new apartment.
Yes, I’ve been here since last Wednesday. I think I’ve even had a coffee maker since then. But this morning is the first time I have had coffee, cream, and sugar available, and I made my first cup. Despite the 70% humidity and heat, the coffee tastes wonderful. It’s one of those coffee commercial moments. I have the satisfaction of not only enjoying my morning coffee, but I can survey my new apartment and see the possibilities.
So I have ‘moved in.’ My furniture won’t arrive until September or more likely October, but there is enough here to make it habitable and more. It does feel, however, like the move that never ends. Beginning last December with the pack up and move across country to Pennsylvania. Next, it was the sublet. Finally, it’s Riverside Dr.
Really, I don’t want to move again until I can afford professional movers. Enough of this carting things to and fro.
As ever,
K. Quinn
