Hotel life - Week 1

We've been living in the hotel for almost a week, now. It's not terrible. I think that some 1-bedroom apartments are this size, except you'd probably have some place for storage and possibly a larger closet or wardrobe. We are allowed 2 suitcases each, and since we're moving and not just travelling, we have 3 large suitcases and 1 medium sized one in the room, and as of today, we'll have 2 large pet crates and a litter box once we bring the cats over from the house. It will really begin the feel tiny. 

But it's nice that we have the kitchenette, and as we brought some things from the house that we'll use anyway, like dish soap and cat food and tea and things like that, in that sense, it feels homey. I can make chai every morning, even if not masala chai, but it's what I had growing up, and it was fine. We have space in the full fridge for things and cupboard space to store cereals and snacks. So it will be a bit cramped, but it is decent, and we can make do. We also have a decent view as we can at least see the trees from out the window instead of the other side of the building that faces a retail zone, like a Walmart and Petland and other shopping complexes. If you click on the thumbnail, you can see a larger view. The only thing I don't like about it is that we have the front entrance below, and there are often people out there talking really loudly and smoking, so we don't want to open the window. It just means we don't want to open the window.

The one thing that really annoys me right now is this blogging program. Apparently Google has made updates, and now I can no longer neatly insert a photo into the text so that the text appears around the photo rather than pushing it down the more I type. First they stop updating Picasa, which was able to perfectly embed photo albums with a slideshow into Blogger, and now they have even ruined in the in-text photo features. Why are they making worse and worse updates? Are they trying to move people away and use other blogging programs? It might be something for me to research to see if I can import my blogs to another program that works better.
