House update

We're gradually settling in, acquiring curtains and little random furniture things, unpacking, etc. I've been walking to to work several days each week; it's about 25 minutes one way. Next year, I'll likely get a bike, but it's too late in the season to feel right at the moment. We're learning all the things to take care of, filling out warranty forms for the house, and so forth; it's somewhat daunting at times, but nothing has collapsed yet.

The biggest hassle so far was the washer-dryer set. ( This proved to be a long story. )

We are greatly enjoying having our own place; the reality has taken time to sink in, because of the magnitude of the change. The next major furniture deliveries will go a long ways towards filling the place out, as will the rest of the curtains; once that's in place, we'll be a bit more "guest-ready".
