Our New Home: First Morning

Good morning! We’re living in our new home!

I didn’t get to bed until almost 1:00 am last night. Mal and I moved a good portion of our “stuff” (packed boxed and necessities), which meant loading and unloading a pick-up truck and car 2 times, driving roundtrip from Quincy to South Boston twice, and carrying our stuff up 4 flights of stairs. Needless to say, I am exhausted this morning! But, we made a serious dent in our move!

I woke up bright and early to take Murphy for a walk in our new neighborhood. He had trouble doing his “business” last night (a new environment, lots of different smells, nervousness, etc.), which meant a LONG walk around Southie, but this morning he was so much better. It only took 20 minutes! The little guy is so confused about his new surroundings.

Breakfast

On our walk, I stumbled across a little deli/coffeeshop that looked promising for breakfast. I popped in to order an egg and cheese sandwich and a hot coffee.

(I have “officially” made the switch to hot coffee for the season. I drink iced coffee in the warm months and hot in the cold months. I don’t vary much in my decision once I make the big “switch.”)

Today’s coffee flavor: Butter Cookie! Omg, it was delicious!

Breakfast definitely made my first morning at our new place much more enjoyable!

I’m so excited to unpack tonight. I hate packing and moving, but unpacking, organizing, and redecorating is FUN for me. I’m a dork when it comes to stuff like this, but I can’t wait!

I start physical therapy (again) this morning. Wish me luck!
