day 2 and 3...

so, as previously mentioned the first day and a half were a little rough to start with. once i got to my place, i realized i didn't have some very necessary items, which made things very, uh, interesting seeing as how i felt like i was going to die. that said, i started to feel human again after lunch yesterday (something about not eating for 24 hours...) so i decided to run some errands last night to get said necessary items. after work, i jumped on the subway and headed to find bed, bath and beyond, upon a recommendation from a co-worker because they deliver same-day. let me tell you - EVERYTHING in this city revolves around delivery. it's awesome (until you have to wait for the FedEx guy to deliver 8 packages containing vital things like my coffee maker...which is why i'm at home...waiting.) anyway, i gladly made my purchases, jumped back on the subway home, stopped at a corner market to grab some eggs and water, stopped at another deli to grab dinner, and came home to wait for my items. within a couple hours, everything was delivered! so cool. then i got online and ordered some groceries (for delivery tonight) from freshdirect.com. got a good night's sleep and headed into the office for a meeting this morning. i'm already totally comfortable taking the subway, and know my way to and from the office with no trouble. and it's a beautiful fall day to boot! i'm definitely loving this city, but missing my loves back home. now it's time for everyone to get skype so i can see all your lovely faces. XOXO from NYC!
