Oh… the first day moving into a new place!!! When we moved from our two apartments into our condo neither of us really ate much for breakfast or lunch so by, IDK, 4 we were SO HUNGRY. We went down the street to a lovely little bar. We were the only customers in at 4 in the afternoon. It was a Monday. We chatted up with the bartender and that’s been our neighborhood bar ever since.
They finally reopened from their pandemic closing. We were so worried they wouldn’t make it. The hold up was their lease was up… I guess they’re buying the property now. So happy they’re in it for the long haul!!! I wanted my first burger out (from March) to be there, and it was.
Glad it went well @Copa, minus the pizza snafu!
Thank you! I thought unpacking would move faster, but it’s been slow. But we can walk through the living room now and have basic kitchen functionality now, so that’s a win! Since my boxes were loaded last, they were unloaded first and are in a corner of our second bedroom that’s still mostly inaccessible cause his boxes are blocking them in. Had to play some Tetris looking for some medication earlier. I’m trying to do more of the heavy lifting since he messed his back up recently and I can tell he’s not comfortable. But we’ll have most things out by this weekend, I think.
@Copa and @MG, Bottles and Cans Fa La La La La beer box advent calendar is now up for purchase on their site. I gifted the husband this for the last three years and he absolutely loves it. You get full cans of beers, some of them limited edition, most of them delicious and local. I think there’s usually one or two the husband doesn’t care for.
You pre-order and then pick up around Thanksgiving.
My good friend has been gifting her husband this since they started.
EDT: I’m mentioned because I know you like beer MG, and Copa, I think your boyfriend does too if I remember correctly.
0oo Checking this out now! We bought the beer and liquors advent calendars from Costco last year 😉
He does! He’s so excited to be so close to Bitter Pops now. Thanks for the heads up! I almost got one for him last year but I didn’t, and can’t remember why. I’ll do it this year for sure.
I had to come back to my apartment this evening to clean it and grab a few items still here. It’s empty now and I am sitting in a windowsill all weepy over never coming back. I’ve actually never lived anywhere longer than I have in this building. I remember moving in and feeling like I’d made it cause I had hardwood floors for the first time, a true kitchen, and a small dining room. I was so proud to be able to afford a place like this on my own. The new place is great and much nicer, but it still doesn’t feel like home. Happy for what’s ahead but man am I sad to leave.
