I am getting a kick out of this new situation, even though I still feel a bit like I'm in a vacation apartment or somebody else's flat. The couch is new, the dining table is "new" (ebay), the kitchen is new. The old things are in completely different places.
Yet that is what I am looking for. A slight awakening shake out of my "everyday is the same" lethargy. This might have been more than a tender quiver - it felt like an earthquake at times!
The tea tastes awful here if you use water straight from the tap. So I bought a filter. I tried distilled water and that works nicely, too.
And it is at least 4 to 5 degrees cooler in the apartment here. For the first time in years, I don't sweat like Schwarzenegger while sleeping or sitting in the living room. I can even wear my thick sweaters. Haven't seen them in years.
The only challenge ahead (that I can see) is getting my passport back from the Indian Consulate. They need to put a visa in it for my trip next week to Goa. No passport - no Go(-a).
I think I'll get back into the fun of cooking again. I have lots more working and cutting space on the counter and everything else has its own little home. I just have to remember where those little items are living.
