Got up pretty early this morning, about 6:15 or so, simply due to not being sleepy anymore. Which is good, because one of the few downfalls to watching Holmes on Homes on Saturdays is that it's on Eastern Time now on the Dish, so it's on at 6am. Had breakfast, hung out a bit, and by 9am we were ready to go.
Headed over to our old neighborhood to do some much-needed shopping at the Marina Safeway and so I could drop off our keys to the old apartment. Made one last swing through the place to make sure I didn't forget anything (which I did--one plastic hook we stuck up on the wall to hang something), then dropped off the keys at the Trinity office.
Once we got back and unpacked the foodstuffs, we went out for what ended up being nearly a three-mile walk around the neighborhood, including checking out some of the REALLY nice houses in Seacliff (which, let's face it, is part of the Richmond district, but the houses are mostly detached and rich and sometimes famous people live there, so they want a separate name. ;) )...as well as heading down a good swath of Clement, which has all sorts of awesome little stores and restaurants. We found a Russian grocery store, a Pho restaurant (PS, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) head58: click on this one and scroll down--they have a Pho challenge that I think you should join in on when you come out), many produce stores, all types of other restaurants, and whatnot. Finally we swung over to Geary to make our way back, and saw even more really neat stores and restaurants (including a place called Buffalo Burger, where we had an AWESOME lunch), including our local Wells Fargo/Starbucks--yes, they are actually in the same storefront. One more swing back over to Clement, and back home. Google Pedometer says we walked 2.871 miles today.
But that's not all!
Once back, we moved more things around today...yarn was unpacked, boxes broken down, stuff put away in my desk, bookcases moved around, more stuff put away, and piles of stuff created to eventually be filed/put away/thrown away/recycled/donated. Also, many boxes moved and rearranged. Unfortunately we're nowhere near finished, but at least it's a start. We're still sort of trying to figure out where we want everything to go, and of course we're also making a mental list of more furniture to buy in the future once we see what we need. I know on our mental wish list we have a larger couch (our loveseat will probably end up being in the 2nd bedroom), a glass case where we can put our collectibles, and a very small kitchen table to wedge into the corner in the kitchen.
Tomorrow?
More unpacking while football is on! :D |
