There is a pet store in St. Paul called Purrniture, where they specialize in cat furniture. We don't own any cat furniture, and until last night, it felt like we would never have any furniture, but then some Russians arrived to move in our stuff! It was quite an ordeal. The two pods that carried all our belongings from Minneapolis to Brooklyn showed up 5 days and 2.5 hours later than scheduled. We knew about the five extra days last week, when, "due to the holiday weekend," we were told to wait until Tuesday. Then, after being told our pods would arrive around 3:00 PM, they didn't come until 5:30. In the meantime, we had hired some movers to help move the things up to the third floor here, and they arrived at 3:00, but don't worry, they filled their time sleeping on the curb (literally) until 5:30. And yes, we paid for that time. And yes, many of our things looked a lot worse for wear once they arrived, but it's all here now, and boy are we happy. We have a bed! And some chairs! And there are things for Mabel to perch on, too! This is a before and after photo of the living room...

These pictures of the empty living room remind me of the place I pictured myself in as an adult when I was growing up in The Rural Midwest. I imagined myself eventually becoming a young hipster in A Large City with an apartment just like this with wood floors and a fireplace. E
