So here I am, in the empty space at the other end of this journey, camping out on the cushy carpet in my new digs.
The church is one mile away, along busy streets that don't really welcome walking or even cycling. But there's plenty of walking and cycling terrain nearby. I did have one more adventure with the fancy expensive bike rack before the trip was done, by the way -- when I went to release the back wheel from its little strappy holder, I couldn't release the ratchet. Trying to loosen it, I only tightened it. Lift this, poke that, to no avail. The nice man at the bike shop showed me how to do it, so now I can both put the bike ON the rack and take it OFF. (There's the small matter of schlepping it down from and up to the third floor each time, and we'll see how that goes! Fortunately, it's light.)
I did laundry in the machines that are right there behind folding doors in the kitchen. What a treat! And I stashed the clothes I brought in the walk-in closet. Despite the fact that the tub is large and lovely I hung up the shower curtain so I don't have to soak EVERY time. The plants are enjoying the balcony.
I've been sighted by folks at church, so I'm already a bit more aware of what's going on here. There's a Board meeting next Thursday, which I plan to attend, then I'm off to Montana for a week of actual, official, vacation.
