I am now an official resident of Sacramento and I'm in rather a strange situation: I don't really know anyone in this town and yet I've resigned myself to not being able to meet anyone and become friends with them until I start school or get a job. So for the next long while, I'm kind of on my own (except for Trevor, of course). This has had some interesting consequences. First, I have to create things to do. This isn't hard as I have a new town to explore and a house to make. I've started to do laundry by hand, which is surprisingly relaxing and not as much work as you think it would be (although, right now, I'd give my left tit for a cheap hand wringer!) I've been cooking a lot, which is nothing new. I'm also trying to start a small garden...we'll see how that works out. The other consequence is that I suddenly really, really don't care what people think about how I look. I've gained some weight, only about 5 lbs but combine that with the muscle loss from now doing jack shit for a month or so, I look much bigger. Normally, I would freak out about this and panic and not go out in public until I lost the weight but here, I seem to have taken a zen approach to the whole thing. Like I keep telling myself that as long as I lose weight by the time school starts, I'll be fine. I think that I'm so bothered by what people would think of me when school starts, I'm saving it all up for then and relaxing now.
The bunnies really, really like the new house...there's a long hallway where they can run and get up to speed!
