Well, I moved. I'm officially here in Boise and unpacking like mad. Who knew I had so much crap! And now that I have more room, I'll probably end up with more crap. ARG. It's funny really and I don't mind it all but I should probably go through things again and make sure they were all worth bringing here.It doesn't really feel like I live here, in spite of all my stuff being around me. It probably won't feel like I live here until I start work and actually drive somewhere on my own for a change. So far Jesse has had to show me where I'm going everywhere I've had to go, but soon I'll have it figured out for the most part I'm sure. Heaven knows I've moved enough and am used to it. I remember in Billings I figured it out because that's where I learned to drive, in Spokane I figured it out because I had a map that I'd check before leaving and then I'd go on a few exploratory drives, Barstow was so small you couldn't get lost if you tried so there were no worries there, and then IF was easy because I knew from going around with cousins and family so much. Boise will be a bit of a trick, but at least I'm pretty close to most major things I'll need and the major places I'll be going. Its just a matter of time.
So far so good. I like Boise, I like the pace, and the area is lovely. Rolling hills with a few cresting mountaintops peeking over the city. And the leafy trees are in full fall bloom right now as well. The weather hasn't exactly been ideal, but it's warm enough for just a sweater and jeans without worrying you'll freeze to death. This afternoon I went downtown and had a bagel sammich at this little coffeeshop. It was so yummy! Their hot cocoa is a bit rich though. But the bagels get 5 stars and I even brought some home for breakfasts.
My apartment is nice, and I definitely enjoy all the space I have. The kitties LOVE the stairs, and I LOVE that I have two bathrooms! One upstairs and one down. I have drawers, cabinets, closets, storage areas. I almost don't know what to do with myself! But in a good way...
Well, my work face-to-face is tomorrow and then I'll probably sit in with someone for a bit to see what work will be like. And then hopefully I can start working soon! It'll either be the 9th or th 17th, and while the weekly schedule on the 9th isn't ideal, it'd sure be easier on my finances as well as my sanity to start ASAP. Wink, wink. It's going to be nice to have this week to unpack and organize for sure, as it'll drive me crazy till everything has its place and I can again sit comfortably on my couch with nothing on it. I'm settling and happy. And that's a good feeling.
