Learning the ins and outs of newplacedness.

We're sleeping in a student apartment on campus until our house is ready. It's nothing fancy, but we think it's a little slice of paradise. Luxury is relative and this is five stars to us this week.

All we need is a refrigerator with milk, some Honey Nut Cheerios, bananas, orange juice, cashews, frozen blueberries, Brian's cancer juice (aka Crystal Light), and clean water and we are set. For now.

There's a playground close by. Really, everything is close by. So when I say the playground is close to the apartment, I should also say it is close to the house we are currently remodeling. We walk from one place to another.

We're more prepared for the chilly mornings since 33% of our belongings arrived yesterday. It also helps that the moving company has asked (after a freakout of semi-epic proportions) that we submit all receipts for dining and hotels since we left St. Louis---for the inconvenience of waiting 3 weeks for our belongings. Thanks, youknowwhoyouare.

I didn't tell them we are a family who dresses in the same things every day.
