No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn

lawnrrdUnpacking has begun. We spent most of Monday moving, although I set up Leo's crib and our bed in the new place before the end of the day. Yesterday we put away a lot of stuff in the living room, Leo's bedroom, and our bedroom, although there remains a lot of work to do. Among the minor problems is the lack of anything covering any of the windows in the apartment, making for not a whole lot of privacy, and also meaning that we have had to stack broken-down moving boxes in the windows to make it dark enough for Leo to nap.
The cleaning woman came today and spent about all day on the kitchen and bathroom, both of which desperately needed the attention. (The prior residents were a couple of guys—probably straight, although I admit that's based entirely on stereotyping. They were nerds, too: nearly everything in the apartment—the oven, the circuit breaker box, even the toilet—has an "Intel Inside" sticker on it.)
The apartment has three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a washer and dryer. We get lots of light and a spectacular view of lower Manhattan. We've only just begun to explore the restaurants, but we hear good things. The phone finally got turned on this afternoon, the DirecTV installers will be by tomorrow (which means NFL Sunday Ticket come fall), and the DSL order is in. And if Vonage can get its act together and transfer our old number, we will have a 212 phone number despite living in Brooklyn, thereby showcasing our massive telecommunicative studliness.
And so it goes. Tonight I stop at West Elm on my way home to look for window shades or blinds or something.
