Woke up to a dreary, rainy and windy first day in my old neighborhood of Forest Hills. Dreamed last night that this move was a big mistake and wished that I were safe and cosy in my bed back at Ölandsgatan. Yikes!
Too late now...better get on with life. My childhood friend Joy and her husband Chris were here to greet me when I arrived last night. Joy and I have known each other since grade school (too many years to mention :-)). She has generously offered to let me stay in her apartment for as long as it takes me to move into my own place.
Chris was busy making coffee when I emerged from my room. Off I went to buy milk and bagels. BAGELS! The real stuff. The day was already beginning to look up. Maybe this move wasn't a mistake after all?
A yummy breakfast and nice chat with Chris served to lift my spirits. Despite the lousy weather, today I managed to:
- Get a bike (see photo)
- Sign up for a local phone service
- Get a massage (my back is soooo grateful)
- Shop at my favorite grocery store
It's dinnertime now...more tomorrow.
Happy that you arrived safely and got your self a bike! I think you will be happy if you buy a good bike lock, the one in the picture looks pretty flimsy. Recommend a kryptonite.com lock.
ReplyDeleteThere are two locks on the bike...look again :-)
