quick update
Hey everyone :o)
I figured that I'd do a quick update to let everyone know kind of what's going on. I haven't been around for a little while. We did finally get the net back about a week ago, but with my sister's wedding and work and everything else, i haven't really had the time/desire to sit down and actually write something.
So for starters, A. ended up moving in. We're all domesticated. It's kind of funny. I TRY to pick stuff up. I TRY to not throw my clothes every where. I even went and did a load of her skivvies one night. Also, we cook and clean for each other and try to keep each other out of trouble. It seems to be working so far.
The apartment is gorgeous. We have an island in the kitchen, that we were all excited about, that none of us use, except to store empty beer bottles, and throw keys and change. We have a dishwasher, who is not me. Like, a real one. We pretty much went around and bought all the stuff that we thought we would need for the place. I'm sure there's still things here and there that we missed, but we won't discover them until we go to use it. Suprisingly we have a lot of stuff. Especially considering I have very little stuff. I did bring the important things though, coffee maker, and a big ass tv that I popped veins in my arms bringing upstairs. Damn TV.
The area we live in is supposed to be the "bad" area. It's no different from where I was living before. Laundry is in the building. Beer store and Tim Horton's down the street. Groceries are half a block away. Most people can make it from one side of Sarnia to the other in ten minutes. It takes me half an hour. I get lost easily. But I can find my way to all of the above places with no problems.
The job is good. I don't think it's something that I would want to do for the rest of my life, but hey the coin is good. It pays the bills. I got a raise on my first day. Can't really complain about that. The people are nice too.
I just figured that I'd let everyone know what was going on. I am happy here. It helps being able to sleep with someone at night. I've put on some weight. I feel a lot healthier. I look a lot healthier. Generally I'm just better off here I think. And of course I think it helps that I get along with my roomie too. It's kind of weird. We fell into a good ritual when I was working days. I'd get up earlier than him, he'd stumble out of bed right about the same time that the coffee was finishing perking, and we'd both sit in complete silence while having our coffee every morning except for on Fridays. Then we'd both have coffee, wish each other a happy Friday, and then return to silence. It's kind of comical to see.
Also, we have been kind of showing each other different things. For example, I introduced J. to Office Space. I think he loves it. His gf, also J. brought over Rushmore. I love it. No complaints here. I'm happy. Now I'm going to finish my coffee, and maybe do something productive before work. Or finish my coffee and do nothing. Either way, I'll have a smile on my face.
