As I have told before, I live in my sons flat. He moved in with his dad, nice and close to work :p I am trying very very hard to find a place to live but that isn't easy here.
The flat is a work in progress really. Since my son works at dad's restaurant, he always ate there already or took something home to warm up in the microwave. So he had a fridge, a microwave and a little snack oven in his kitchen! He got a very nice kitchen from friends that he has to build in, and he has to buy a fitting fridge for that. As long as the kitchen isn't in, there is no flooring either :p So I have a cement floor. One day my son came home with a prezzy for me: a gas cooker and I bought myself an electric oven and a crockpot from my 'graduation money'.
During the year I am living here I bought myself some nice crockery every now and then and some kitchen cutlery. So now I have a functioning kitchen and it even looks nice from the living room :)
When we were talking the other day my son suddenly gave me permission to use his bedroom. Up until then I always slept on the 'guest bed' in the living room, under the kitchen window. And his bedroom was used for storage and to chase the cats out of :p So I had a lot of work to do there!
Took me two days, a lot of dragging stuff around and putting boxes on wardrobes...sweeping, vacuuming and mopping...and bringing all my 'sleep stuff' over to the bedroom but I managed to make it look quite nice if I may say so myself!
Of course there's still some stuff that has to be done, and stuff that has to be bought like sheets and pillow cases but that can wait until I have money again. But for now I am very happy with how it looks :D And it's great to sleep in a big bed again! Haven't done that for over a year...
So last night I 'christened' the new (for me it is ;) ) bedroom... I put the pictures of the Chicago skyline over my bed to inspire my dreams and some other nice pics on the nightstand so I have something nice to look at when I go to sleep and when I wake up ;)
And this morning when I woke up the sun was shining bright through the curtains...lovely! The blinds in the living room don't let the sun through so that was quite a while ago too.
It may sound strange but I kinda feel less...homeless now!
Ok, it's time to start cooking again, some nice hearthy wintermeal, it's still cold here!
Have a nice day...and for tonight: sweetest of dreams!
