Here's to my second night in new apt.

Mom and I slept quite well last night. Mom snuck out at 8:30 this morning to go get coffee and I got up to unpack. Got lots done in the 2 hrs Mom was gone. Then we showered up to get to The Beehive (remember my header photo of Montparnasse Cemetery?) by noon for our Easter brunch. Showing the tiredness from our weekend of running and moving.

I got paged right before we left the apt. but luckily it wasn't an emergency. (I was going to go in after brunch but I got a call back saying I didn't need to. Phew! Close one.) Mom had the spinach quiche and I had the eggs shakshuka and a champagne cocktail. It was pretty good for nonsweet breakfast food. It's in a nice location and has live music. After brunch we walked back to Boston Common and got the truck, then to old apt. to get the rest of the little stuff, then back to new apt. to unload and get all my mom's stuff and rr's boxes. Mom brought lots of stuff w/ her including blowup mattress. Then we drove back to old apt. and I brought in the boxes and Mom took off for NY. I hung out w/ the puppies all afternoon until about 7:30 when I left for new apt. Sorry Cleo I hope you get approved soon and can come and live w/ me at the new place. Georgetown screwed me today and Slick Willy, actually Mr. Curry did. I had Gtown winning the whole thing. Oops. Well I have SU to watch in the quarterfinals of the NIT on Tues. against UMass.

Stopped at City Convenience before entering my building. They have an AllPoints ATM which is no fee for my ING debit card. Perfect! I got cash and Diet Coke and then used the cash to get my laundry card. The washers and dryers in my building take a card so you just put money on it and don't have to worry about quarters. So I got to do laundry here tonight. The laundry room is 2 doors away from mine. So convenient but only 2 washers and 2 dryers so I had to wait. While I waited I started putting my IKEA dresser together. Hard work. Spent a few hrs on it and still not done. Tomorrow I should finish. Still have putting away and organizing to do. Won't get anything done probably Tues and Wed because my collaborator for this experiment is coming then and we're shooting for 12+ hr days. I'll be exhausted after that I'm sure but won't have time at night to do much around the apt. My friend Kristen from high school will be in Boston Tues-Sat and wants to get together Thurs but that's track night. Maybe she and her new hubby can come out w/ us Friday night.

It's almost 1am and I'm exhausted. I need to get more sleep but I also want to watch Lost and eat candy.

Goodnight and hope you had a Happy Easter. My mom gave me an Easter basket :0)
