Cambridge for good

The apartment is ours.  All my stuff arrived today as planned.  The bed looks great.  We're still waiting on the cleaning folks the landlord promised, since the place needs it pretty badly.  I'm getting antsy to set stuff up but want to wait in case the painters come, which could happen this week.  Tomorrow we're getting a Zipcar to get stuff from storage as well as a beautiful old dresser I found on Craigslist, and Thursday is the Ikea pilgrimage.  I'm going for minimal Ikea, maybe a bookshelf, a wall shelf, and some cushions for the awesome free loveseat thingy the previous tenants left me.  Things won't be put together until the weekend because we're waiting on the cleanup job, but it's exciting.  I'm keeping my eyes on the job market and have sent out a few more apps.  Still nil. It's not as hot and miserable here as it could be, and it's great living out of Matt's apartment while we get things squared away at our place.  We still have to deal with cable and utilities.  The world is complicated for grown-ups.
