Night #1

On Thursday morning we moved into our new apartment. P.J. quickly got to work running about town to acquire those bare necessities that would enable us to survive at least one day without leaving the place. He was literally gone most of the day, only popping in to drop off bags between stops. I busyed myself with the task of cleaning the bathroom, since apartments here are generally not clean to my standards prior to moving in. It has something to do with not sweeping out the good luck when you leave. I also managed to kill a spider the size of a silver dollar that was lurking on the bathroom curtain.
We most enjoyed being able to prepare a meal at home, although we did most of the prep work by candle light, waiting to do the actual cooking until the power came on so the hot plate would work. At the moment, we’ve not yet purchased a gas cylinder that would allow us to cook at anytime regardless of the electrical load shedding. Hopefully, we’ll get that soon.
