Found a couch…

Much to my astonishment, I finally found a black leather sofa that will fit through the hallway to my apartment! The hallway is only 29″ wide and most sofas are 33-34″ wide, but this sofa is shorter than usual, so it’ll fit. I’m bringing it over to the apartment today (where it will stay in the garage for now, since they’re still repainting the apartment). I’m psyched. Now I just need a coffee table, an end table, and a buffet, and I’ll be all set. I particularly need the buffet because my snake has to live somewhere, and I’d rather not put her on the floor. We’ll see what I can dig out…

Packing, meanwhile, has acquired a manic note since I’m still trying to train as well as move and work–so this morning I’m moving a couch, tonight I’m working out on the gym, and I somewhere on Thursday and Friday have to find two hours each day to be out riding, as well as packing! Fortunately my coach has better sense than to have me training during the weekend, but still, it’s going to be tight from here on in.

Went out and had a lovely evening with Patrick and Christo on Monday–went shopping and they helped me buy art supplies (mostly for charcoal and pastels–that’s what I’m starting with), then we had dinner and hung around talking for awhile. Should have been packing, but I don’t regret it–I really like the both of them, looking forward to hanging out more.
