65* and rain all day
Well! We signed for the apartment today! Our new home as of October 1 will be across the street from Riverside Park! Yay! Just like "You've Got Mail"....
To get to the signing L and I had to take 3 trains and walk in the rain. I had an umbrella, but it was broken (so was the other one for C—here I pack two umbrellas, thinking I am awesome, and both are bunk!).
After we had a celebratory lunch at a cute—and very tasty—French restaurant on Broadway. Good food, good people-watching, good ambiance: I hope we will go there for more celebrations in the future.
After C went back to work and L and I went to the apartment so that I could measure everything. I am so glad that I did; I think that I might have a chance at having a dishwasher! There is an 18 5/8” gap in the kitchen, and they make 18” dishwashers... there is hope!
I also think that we're going to have to go with lace curtains... It wouldn't be my fist choice, but I don't mind, and the apartment's style is so old-school, I can't imagine anything else.
C is so very relieved about having a place to live--he might even be back to his old self soon; I'm sure if we sold the NC house he would be there within 24 hours. I don't know if I am there yet; I had a hard time sleeping last night and kept waking up thinking about how I was going to decorate—-if I could afford it; how to make the most of the space, etc. I don't know if I will be settled until we are actually...settled. Then, after establishing a home, there is establishing a life. * Sigh *
L and I spent the rest of the day (we got home at 4) just chilling. Sitting out the rain, snuggling and watching Finding Nemo...again.
