Day Three In Raleigh
Yesterday afternoon I unrolled the yoga mats and did my first practice in the new apartment.
I had to get up around 2:30 a.m. to confiscate the Boys’ ping pong ball.
The air mattress may have another leak in it. I heard Charlie digging around on it a couple of times yesterday. We’ll all be glad to get our furniture early next week. It definitely will be nice to have something to sit on besides my Zafu cushion and the air mattress.
I’m glad there is a Harris Teeter grocery store nearby. It may even be bikeable. I picked up some groceries and went to the JC Penney store at the mall across the street for some slippers that I can wear out on my porch.
There is a railroad nearby. Just close enough to enjoy the train whistle, but not so close that I need to hang onto my dental work (*cough*Jack London Square*cough*).
The temperature is in the 20’s. Clancy will climb in my lap or otherwise snuggle close at every opportunity . Charlie has turned into an under-the-covers cat. I’m figuring out how best to program the thermostat so I don’t have a $200 electric bill. Also, I will probably need to buy an actual coat.
Glad you are all settling in nicely! Took me about a year to acclimate to the colder temps. Dressing in layers, wearing knee high socks (Target has cute ones), a Land’s End winter coat inherited from my mother, and lots of hot tea help me get through the winter.
I’ll be glad when the boxes I shipped to myself get here. I put sweatshirts in them! 🙂
Glad you all made it safely. <3
Thank you, Alix! We’re glad, too! <3
