Before and After - Moving Day
Before: Taken moments before the movers arrived. Note the Cafe Grumpy latte in Chis' right hand, and pain au chocolat in his left. Delish! He was such a trooper, up early to help me disassemble the stereo and create a speaker map for our tenant (the apartment is wired for surround sound).
After: The movers left around 3:30 and I went straight to yoga. I thought it would be a 75-minute snooze, but it was one of the best classes I've had in a long time. Chis left the office early (early for him is late for most) and we listened to KPLU Jazz streamed through the internet, made fettuccine with lemon-cured salmon, parsley and parmesan cheese, and a salad. We opened a beautiful bottle of red wine. I set the table (the air mattress), and we sat down for dinner. We started a movie after dinner and I fell sound asleep, knowing that I had nothing to worry about tomorrow except how to fill the day with no house to fuss over.
I think camping in Gotham will be kind of fun. We donated a teak bistro table and chairs to our condo building for the roof deck, which I think we will borrow them back for the week. Word is that one of the chairs met an untimely and mysterious end, but there are two flea markets within a few blocks of us, and we may see what we can find.
I admit that the air mattress isn't the most comfortable, nor is it conducive to my early morning rise. Too, it squeaks against the hardwood floor. So I am sitting on my yoga mat against the wall while Chis sleeps.
