Well Hello there: Good Morning, how are you? I am happy to report that I woke up in our new home, in our new bed, this morning. Yes, we bought a new bed. We needed too. Ours was on its last lifeline =P. It was just a matter of time. And speaking of things we need for our new place - there are a ton: lighting fixtures, a dinning room table set, a coffee table, some pictures, art and frames, etc. etc. We really want to be able to call this place A HOME. It will slowly but surely get there. I really need to cut my personal shopping and purchase home goods instead. I love shopping for home stuff after all. But I still think I like shopping for personal clothes, a tad more.
So my first night of sleep in the new house, was not that good. But this had nothing to do with the fact that we changed places or that we have a new bed. Our new bed is quite comfy actually. It has to do with my headaches. I suffer from migraines and last night after we got together for some drinks to celebrate our new place, with another couple (friends of ours), a slight headache started bothering me. Usually after I eat something, it gets better, it may even go away. I was starving so on our way home we stopped to a local family restaurant where they cook fast and good for a couple of things I was craving. After I had their rice pilaf and some gyro meatballs (it's their specialty) and their greek salad, I thought my headache would wear off. However I woke up around 4.00 AM with a much bigger headache. The bad thing is that we only just moved our things yesterday so I have no idea where all our medicine and a lot of other things are yet. They are still in bags and boxes - but don't know which bags per say. So I couldn't take an Excedrin or something. I Facebook-ed for a little and went back to bed. I had to wake up at 6.30 AM to get ready for work. It sucks that I start work early and now I am even further from the bus station than with the old house. =( But the good thing is, after taking something I had in my purse in the morning and eating a Briosh for Breakfast (it was yummy, made this morning from a local bakery, filled with some smooth chocolate inside), I am now headache-free and at work, blogging away. LOL
But yeah yesterday we accomplished a lot. We moved all of our furniture and belongings and I was even able to put a bunch of them in their places, yesterday. We still have the keys to the old apartment where there are still some dishes and kitchen-ware we need to bring home. Unfortunately I will be at work all day today but I have my Mother-in-Law to thank since she will help out a lot today. I can't blame my head for getting a headache yesterday since it was an exhausting day and it felt even more so because it was hot. After having a super rainy, chilly, dreary April, since Friday (two days ago) the weather turned from 8 to 28 degrees Celsius and I can happily report that Spring is here. Anyway, I feel so accomplished this week. Yes, I am tired, beat, restless and on very little sleep, but I worked my butt off to make this move smooth and pain-free and it pretty much was. =)
Below I present you an outfit I have worn during a weekend off from work, on a day we went out for drinks with another couple (friends of ours). Yep it was raining and cold as these photos attest. After some hot chocolate and coffee (we had with our friends) my husband and I stopped by my favorite French Cafe where we had some desserts as a nightcap. =) I love the first two photos (below).
Here is an up-close photo of the two of us (before I cut off 3 inches of hair). My husband looks so cute here. Loving his smile. =)
