The good news is that all the furniture has been assembled. The bad news is that Ikea didn't deliver everything, so I'm missing the chest of drawers from the bedroom.
I have also put out all the packaging, so it's no longer filling half the apartment. I've got space again!
I spent the morning downtown. As well as using my safe deposit box for the first time (highlight: watching the teller scurry out of the vault, because she's not actually allowed to see what I've put in there), I've bought some curtains (for the first time ever), and some pans. It did involve me getting a taxi back, too, as there was no way I was getting everything back on the bus. And to think I'd made sure I had the $3.25 for the bus, too!
So the apartment is looking a little more habitable, and I can cook things - I'm toying with the idea of soup for dinner tonight. Life on the edge!
The plan for tomorrow is to do the admin stuff I've been putting off until I had an address. So tomorrow will involve a trip to City Hall to register for a health card and a social insurance number. Which will involve retrieving some of the paperwork I've only just put in the safe deposit box. And then putting it back again later that afternoon.
