"...And Especially A Fireplace That Smokes!"

It's day 3 in our new apartment. We're still figuring out where to put everything and getting used to life in a strange yet familiar place. (Same bed, different room. Same stuff, different places to put it.) We're still discovering some of the quirks about our new home, too. We may not have "a fireplace that smokes" (credit "Sense and Sensibility" for that quote), but we have wimpy "shower power" and granny toilet seats that go "whooosh" when you sit down. It's a little weird.

I kind of feel like I'm in limbo. The old house isn't home anymore but our new space doesn't feel right either....yet. I'm confident that once we are a little more situated and can see the floor of our living room (instead of boxes piled high and furniture in the middle of the room), it'll feel homey. (And it'll help to get the rest of our stuff from the house...those small items we were just too tired to pack on Saturday.)
