New Digs

 We have officially moved! It has been an exhausting two days, but we are mostly settled into the new place now. As usual, Ninja was a little grumpy, and Eve had some anxiety, but they've calmed down by now. It was kind of funny, Ninja was more dramatic than he's been in the past. At one point, Eve was just sitting on the windowsill, not paying any attention to anything in particular, and Ninja stood up and poked her with his paw just to hiss at her, as if to say, "Hey! Look at me! ...I'm still unhappy". He's since stopped being so emo. 

I've had the chance to checkout some of the neighborhood and there are lot of decent food options. One weird thing I didn't expect was that our closest grocery store doesn't have any shopping carts. After a lot of them got stolen, the store didn't bother to replace them. I think that's a problem a lot of grocery stores generally have, but usually they replace them and/or get the ones that lock when they get to a perimeter. They had a few crappy plastic baskets that have wheels and retractable handles; they guy said the only reason they had some of those was because it was close to Christmas. Pretty lame, Woolworths. You are officially a downgrade from Coles. Your rewards program is also not as good. 

Despite that, we are close to a really good eatery with lots of Asian options, Doughnut Time, and a Daiso. I've already run into a familiar frisbee face around the neighborhood too, which is always a good sign. 

For three years, we got used to living in such a tiny place without a dinner table or a bathtub. Now it feels like we are living in luxury. The first movie we've enjoyed in our new living space was Love, Actually, trying to get into the holiday spirit.
