It's Monday, and I've completed my first weekend in my new home. I've rented a basement apartment and moved in on Friday. And to make things even better, my wife took the train up to be with me for the weekend. We shopped mostly for apartment furnishings this past weekend, so I didn't get an opportunity to shop for food or do laundry. Today, I had hoped to do laundry and shopping, but only managed the latter. I'm running pretty short on basics, and even though I shopped tonight, I forgot some things I really need (like dishtowels). Tomorrow, I'll try to complete my "first shop".
