Giddy Up

Well, I have been making pretty good progress on unpacking the clothes and getting things put away this week. Sure, we still have boxes everywhere, but mostly they're empty boxes, and that is a huge improvement.

I think I'm almost used to the shopping thing, too. I do manage to get the groceries before 4pm on Saturday most of the time, so we're not caught without something important on Sunday...

We got something in the mail the other day about needing to pay taxes on our TVs and radios. We do intend to get a TV (Fernseher), but we haven't yet. Still, that's pretty different, isn't it? You have to pay someone for the number of televisions you have? I am looking forward to getting a TV so I can listen to German, though. It really helps when you are learning, to hear a lot. So I can watch the news and stuff when we get one.

This morning the sky is full of clouds, although there's a thin rind of blue just above the rooftops across the street. I bet the sun comes out today, no matter what the forecast said.
