I thought I should post some pictures of our apartment so that you can get an idea of where we are staying. This first picture is of the girls' bedroom. Our bedroom is similar, except it has two beds pushed together. The beds are very firm, but that's the way we like it, so it works for us.
There isn't much space in the bedrooms - just enough for the beds and a small dresser.
Our living room and dining area are combined. In the picture you can just see the back of the chair where our dining area is. We've got a TV and a desk too. We get a few English movie channels, which Nadim enjoys and the desk has been great for organizing the school work for the kids.The girls usually have their Polly Pockets, and Littlest Petshop toys spread everywhere. Or at least until I get annoyed and make them clean it up a bit.
The kitchen is pretty small. We have a gas stove and a microwave. There is also a hot plate that we've not really used. It came equipped with plates, bowls, glasses, cups and cutlery for four. No dishwasher, so we're washing up after each meal.We also have a clothes washer in the kitchen. That's been handy. We don't have a dryer so our dry fit clothes are working out really well. The cotton clothes dry overnight too, so it really hasn't been an issue.
We really like the location of our apartment. It's a 15-20 minute walk to the subway station, which is convenient for getting around, but it's also far enough from downtown that there are a couple of parks within a 5-10 minute walk. The shopping center and post office are also within a 10 minute walk. We're certainly getting our exercise without a vehicle to get us around.
Hopefully we'll feel better tomorrow and will feel like going out adventuring again.
