Unpacking

I am exhausted. Things have been very challenging. We are finally moved into the new apartment in Arcadia. Nicole has been sick for about a month now. She’s arranged to be off of work for two weeks and she doesn’t feel significantly better than when this started.

But on the positive side, I’m noting progress in Nicole’s condition. And somehow we managed to get everything out of the blue house this Sunday and turn in the keys. We aren’t going to move again until my children can speak to me.

The tree in front comforts me in my unhinged state. Haven’t took a swim in the pool yet, but there’s a good time coming. Our apartment is up the stairs on the second floor and it’s relaxing to look down on the pool from our patio. We’re done moving, I’m out of juice, and I’m exhaling amidst all these boxes in the living room. I’ll post pictures of the inside of the apartment after we unpack.

Our apartment is in an Asian neighborhood and we are fortunate to live within walking distance of a 99 Ranch Asian supermarket. We’re also close to Santa Anita Race Track and the Los Angeles Arboretum (where they filmed the “Zee plane! Zee plane!” opening sequence from “Fantasy Island”).
