It's day three of apartment camping. Our 1,000 sq. foot apartment is currently "furnished" with:
- a half-inflated air mattress (which I doubt will last long knowing my cats)
- an empty moving box for a table
- two cat litter boxes for chairs
- and a few throw pillows
I don't even have a real computer anymore. Just a 7-inch tablet PC with a bi-polar keyboard and mouse.
It's sort of like real camping...but without delicious BBQs, toasted marshmallows and inviting campfires. Well, I could try the campfire, but I doubt the smoke alarm would appreciate that. Plus, I'm pretty sure there's a "no open flames" clause in our rental lease.
We even have some of the "wonders" of nature right here in our empty, temperature-controlled abode. I caught a few spiders and other creepy-crawlies before we moved out our stuff, but now they've returned with reinforcements...and their extended families. Awesome.
That old phrase "there's no place like home" just lost a bit of its charm...
We can loan you some furniture until you move!!! I can deliver and pick up for free, just say the word! Terry Bulgrin
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. It took us 3 months to get everything more or less finished since the furniture we ordered took 2 months to arrive. Hope you get settled in soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you write!
ReplyDelete@Terry - Thanks for offering! I've actually got a few chairs now and a folding table on the way. So I'm feeling quite luxurious at the moment, haha.
ReplyDelete@Expat - We're still in the states, but because we sold most of our furniture we'll be going through the ordering process once we have an address in Munich. But I love shopping for new stuff so I don't mind camping a little longer. ;)
@DDS- Thank you! :)
