Moved In…Sort Of

I’ve managed to move my clothes into the house along with the few pots and pans I had with me. Since I only had two plates I was able to buy a nice ceramic set of dishes pretty cheap. I have all my cutlery and my most used knives. Only 2 wineglasses survived the trip but replacing them can wait. Most of the tinned food I had with me is still in the van. With the heat the way it is right now I’m just trying to do a little at a time. Also, I was able to see a doctor on Friday and I have bronchitis which makes it hard to breathe in this heat.

I have to say that I think I have the best landlord ever. He is the person who took me to the doctor, then to the pharmacy to fill prescriptions, neither of which cost me anything. I don’t know how he managed that. He had someone come on Saturday to set up my tv with internet so I had a working television over the weekend. One of my neighbors in the house is a painter and Roberto talked to him about painting the kitchen (which at the moment is a hideous eggplant color). He said I can have any color I want. Roberto knows everyone in town and has offered to be my “taxi” until I have my car.

Speaking of cars, I’ve bought a 2003 red Fiat Panda in great condition but I won’t have it until next week after all the paperwork goes through. I know it’s old, but the tires are good, the battery is new and it comes with a one year warranty on any mechanical problems. I think it’s a pretty good deal and it’ll do until I can get something newer.

Hallelujah we had some rain during the night and it’s supposed to start again tonight and go right through Tuesday. Hopefully it will bring some cooler weather.

There’s a little black kitten who lives in a house next door. She follows us around when I walk the dogs and she’s not afraid of them at all. Henry goes absolutely ape every time he sees her. I’m going to have a hard time keeping him and Polly away from her!
