I have discovered today that I am by nature a planner but only two steps ahead of the game. So last night, I decided that I should look at mattresses before I decide to buy a bed. Dutifully, this morning I left the apartment at 10am, walked the mile to the mattress store to test out mattresses before doubling back to meet Lady J for lunch.
Having heard from lady J about a furniture store in cambridge, I decided it would be a good idea to take a peek at it. Unfortunately I also decided it would be a good idea to walk. The heat, and distance soon stripped me of THAT illusion. After crossing the bridge and walking for about 45 min, I realized I was still at 130 mass ave and the number I was supposed to get to was 1050 mass ave. With that I hopped on the bus, furniture shopped at something like 6 places that were in that same area before hopping on the bus back to town.
Finally sated with furniture shopping, I decided to place an order for the furniture I did want at Crate and Barrel (the process of which took a lot longer that I thought it would) and then headed to check out a large supermarket near C and B.
Weird Kooky off point highlights of today?
1. buying a bottle of shin cha at a small Japanese convenience store on Newbury
2. Walking through the most gorgeous park on my way home (The entire building and area was owned by the Christian Scientists who I swear must be rich, but it's definitely something to see. Beautiful long pool of glassy water, and a walkway of trees against the large old building.
3. I have walked 5 to 6 miles today and been mostly on my feet from 10am till i just got home now at 8pm but have done absolutely ZERO packing :-p

boston is burning! I barely want to walk the half mile to Crate and Barrel or the mile to the mattress store. It's both hot and not as humid as Singapore so even though you don't get as sweaty, the chances of heat stroke are much higher. Oh and the Crate and Barrel near my place is 3 stories high with a furniture collection - Bliss!
