so far, so good...
buck and i have pretty much settled into our apartment and our schedules. our new ikea couch is being held together by duck tape, but other than that things are pretty sweet. we are both super busy with separate things during the week, but cooking and eating dinner together is pretty much a daily ritual. bucky has been putting effort towards trying to keep the apartment clean. he even washed all the laundry by himself, last week. i am pleased.
my job is great. cara bella is so sweet, and her family is great too. the only down side to my job is the long hours. i am usually out of the house 10-12 hours a day, including traveling time. the pros def. outway the cons though. we have visited the free zoo, twice so far. we both love watching the primates. cara lives in a great neighborhood, with a ton of fun shops and parks. she sleeps alot(that's why i am playing on the internet!). the money is good and i'll be able to save some. the only weird part of the job is that everyone assumes that i am cara's mom, when we go for walks. i have even had a 15 minute conversation with a lady and somehow fooled her. i know that my mom had my sister and i by the time she was 23(and i'll be 23 in january), but it's still creepy to think about.
i haven't had that much luck in the friends department, but i haven't really put any effort into making friends since i've been busy. some days i question whether or not i have the time and energy to work on a new friendship. other days i feel a little empty, and i feel like a gal pal will fill that void. i suppose that i should make the most of my move and that should probably involve learning how to make new friends. i really just need to break out of my comfort zone. while finding friends on the internet is semi-creepy, maybe i will post something on craigslist. i found my job there, so maybe i'll have luck with friends.
i'll be home january 20-22 for my little sisters sweet 16(i already bought my plane ticket because it was super cheap), so friends should plan on hanging out that weekend!
i will also be home for about a week around christmas, but i'm not sure of the exact dates yet.
bucky will be flying to philly the first weekend in october for a show, which means that i will be all alone. please list things that i can do by myself that weekend. or better yet, come to chicago!
anyway, cara is waking up, so i'm going to go. later dudes.
