I woke up this am to the sun shining in the window and was a bit excited but then realized I had to wait at my studio for the internet installation, so I was sad that I couldn't leave to enjoy the sun, BUT, the modem was delivered and I was able to get things up and running rather quickly so that was good. I would have left immediately to go out for my run, but I was so excited to acutally be connected to the real world, and by real world I mean SC, I had to get online. I also plugged in my video phone from ACN and called my mom. I'm sure she didn't appreciate my ringing at 6 am her time, but I couldn't wait. I called my aunt, Beth, and T'Lene too. Can't tell you how happy I am to have that phone. Best decision ever purchasing it.
I did eventually go out for a run and so enjoyed it. I ran back through Ranelagh, down to Portabello to check out the Hilton for Beth and Shep, through Rathmines and back to Ranelagh. I walked in the most amazing wine and beer store and told the guy I'd definitely be back. They have a great selection. I even saw Blue Moon! Ha. I then went up through this walk I'd seen yesterday and found this grocery store called Mortons. I was in Heaven. I bought a steak (my iron is super low I can tell), and some veggies! I wanted to buy all their cheeses but didn't let myself get carried away.
After that I walked to the laundry place I dropped my jeans the other day to pick them up. I came back to the studio and have been on the phone again. I don't think I'll go out tonight as I've spent a fortune already on beers, but I've got a good bottle of red here and a few movies which I can play on my laptop so that will keep me occupied. I'm going to get up and go to church tomorrow so that should be interesting. The place I'm going is Methodist and just down the street about a block from me. I've got one church appropriate dress with me so if I like it I'll have to get some more clothes!
I don't want to be a loser sitting at home all day but having internet and phone makes me so happy today! I'm really looking forward to getting everything else set up so I can truly feel at home.
