on my own
Monday post...
Well, today is Monday and Will officially started work, so I am on my own until at least 5pm today. I spent some quality time talking to my Dad and checking on the weiner dogs (which I think have it better now then when they lived with Will and me). Wyatt was on my Dad's belly and Happy around his shoulders. Must be nice!
Shout out to all of you - our VOIP phone works great and is such a blessing, so please feel free to call us up! We are 12 hours ahead of Michigan, 13 hours ahead in Central time zone (Austin). 14 hours ahead in Colorado.
We researched some apartments yesterday and we were going to go out and find them - we got on the subway thinking we were so smart and then 15 minutes later they passed our stop. How were we supposed to know that they closed that stop for construction. It blew my nice "safe" plan out of the water. Thank goodness Will is a little more adventurous - otherwise we would never get anywhere. We grabbed a taxi (actually the 4th one since the first 3 waved us off because they didn't understand where we wanted to go). We used our handy map and pointed a lot and boy I didn't realize how physically challenging it is just to try to communicate with someone who doesnt speak your language.
We found one place on our list and one of the agents showed us around and since we are American, she showed us this 2400 sq ft apartment with maids quarters (swank!) but it was $3000. We are trying to explain to her we want to see the $1000 version - no such luck. We got to see the $2000 version and then gave up. She dropped us off at the next subway station and we made it successfully back to the hotel. We bought a tea pot and 3 small cups for less than $2 and made our way back to the hotel and had some of our "relaxing" herbal tea we bought Saturday. Phew!
Have I burned up another 20 minutes for today? That leaves me with 8 hours until Will gets home. Wish me luck. I'm going out on the subway and see what fun adventure I can have today - or .... on second thought - I could always schedule a massage! Just kidding
