Home Alone

It didn't snow in DC city, after all that hype. Plenty in the outskirts, but not here. I think I'm ok with that. Still cold enough though. Cooked our first meal last night - nice piece of steak and some veg. I thought I'd bought gravy (like gravox) but it was thickener so it was as bland as wet flour. I have been wandering around to the supermarket which is a good exercise in WTF. It's either what TF is that or where TF is this? 

I have the days to myself now. Went to Macy's today - needed to get a jug, hairdryer and an iron. I was lost the second I got off the metro train until I got home again. Don't mind getting lost as you tend to see and learn things but I was quite confused. So Macy's don't sell hairdryers - seriously !! I had to find another store called TJ Maxx and I asked 3 times for directions to find it and got blank 'I don't know' faces. Finally got there, finally got home and finally have some appliances to make things normal here. Amazon is A-mazing and I'm sure we will be buying off that quite a lot. Given my experience today, I think I'll get the toaster from Amazon - free delivery next day.

Finalising the lease for the house at the moment and moving in 1 March. Dogs will arrive 4 March so still a few weeks with no munchkins. Deb's going ok, she didn't get lost walking home yesterday on her own and she's getting information overload at work. We have a public holiday on Monday too = Presidents Day. Probably do some car hunting but it's meant to be freezing so maybe staying indoors could be a plan. Need to think about furnishing the house too else we'll be sleeping in the dogs beds.
