Well, we've been here in CA about two weeks. In our apartment just at a week and a half, in fact!
For the most part, things move along nicely. Our kitchen is almost entirely unpacked! Very exciting. Can actually cook and stuff :) And we're starting to get the furniture we need too! For example, the bedroom and closests would have been unpacked before now, except we needed to get a new dresser. Apparently 2 people have more clothes to store than 1 - who'd'a thought? So we picked up dressers over the weekend and Zach spent Sunday assembling them. They're up, together, and actually in the room they belong in, too! Zach's even starting to get clothes into them. Woohoo! Granted not all too much time to do that once he'd spent the day assembling them, but little by little, we're getting there!
And we have bookcases now in the library/craft/Joey's room/Room o'Allergies (as Zach calls it). Even better, the bookcases are all assembled too! And stuff on them! My Sunday was spent unpacking the books for the bookcases. And yes, we did fill all the bookcases I'd estimated we'd need. Zach couldn't believe how many books we had either! I knew how many I had, though, and he pretty much filled a case with his own books, too, so can't blame it entirely on me :) I just didn't want to give up all my favorite books prior to moving. Books are my friends! And on a post this tiny, the library just doesn't have enough to keep me busy for the next 2 years (ONE Rex Stout title!!! He wrote about 70!)
Joey's settling down, too. I think he likes the new place - plenty of space to hop around in. 'Course the cardboard boxes all over the place are certainly good for him too! I'd like to let him be a bit more free-hoppin' since with all the storage space, there won't be so much stuff Out in bunny-range. I've even figured out how to 'bunny-gate' the bookshelves so the books are safe from nibbly sharp-pointy teeth. He wasn't too amused at that though ;) We'll see how it all works out!
Best of all, I have a new job!! I don't think I've told you all this, but I do have a job, and a 'real' one, too - not just waiting tables or working at a teller somewhere! Completely lucked into it, but it looks like good folk to work with, and it's full time, and it looks like I'll enjoy it too. I'm a bit nervous, never having managed anyone or anything, really, but the folk I'll be working with are really nice and friendly (I've met about half 'my' staff, and my director) and seem really willing to work with me, so that should be really good. So, still nervous, but excited too!
