Please bear with me. I am still trying to get a computer setup at the apartment. The roadblock is deciding what to get. More than likely no pictures until then and not many other updates.
I made the 300 mile drive home over the weekend. It takes me about 4 hours and is a pretty straight shot. That reminds me...I better check the gas tank!
The time at home was too short. So much to do in so few hours. I did manage to pack up my sewing room, well a portion of it, and carry it home with me. It took me an hour to unload everything. I have to climb a flight of stairs and some of the things were very heavy. I even had to lay down for a few minutes (no chairs yet) to catch my breath.
I was good and setup and put away everything I brought. I pulled out fabric for my next quilt and washed it along with other laundry last night. I will have to setup the ironing board and iron and see how I like them. Both new. Tonight I will more than likely just sew on my Spring Breeze to get that top done.
So here is an interesting fact about me. I have never lived alone. Last night was my first night alone in the apartment. I locked my bedroom door. I fell fast asleep and slept hard. I will be fine. I took an upstairs apartment on purpose. I think it is safer for me. My mother asked me if I am lonely. So far, no. I think I will enjoy the peace and quiet. I will be talking with lots of folks and try to catch up on past friendships. In other words, I plan to make the most of my time.

sounds like it'll be heavenly once everything is set up and you settle into a rhymn with this new arrangement...
It sounds like you are well on your way to a good routine. Do you listen to audiobooks during your drive? I used to do a lot of commuting and that's where I developed my love of audiobooks.
Hmm... it has been years since I have been alone too. I wonder how long it would take to get used to it. Do you get to control the TV and the food???
you have never lived alone?? really?? well, you are in for a treat! I know that you will miss the kids and the DH but, oh my, life alone is great too!!! I'm a little jealous!
Living alone is pretty great! I haven't lived with anyone in like 8 years. I will have a VERY hard time ever living with anyone!!
You are a brave soul!
I have never lived alone either and am a big chicken, so I am totally amazed when someone can land in a new city, set up a home and build a life!
ha ha, I love your priorities! You've made sure of your sewing stuff, when you still don't have any chairs. My kind of woman. I lived alone for six years and most of the time I really liked it. I still enjoy the peace and quiet when I have the house to myself even now. Hope you settle in ok an find it a haven.
