change my life again
I've been in OKC for three days now. It's a little weird. I'm sure at some point I'm going to break down and sob because I'm not in my familiar environs with my familiar people but all I am right now is excited. About the job, about my temporary living quarters, about the two guys I met outside of Starbucks my first night here that gave me their phone numbers because they knew I was new in town.
Seriously, folks.
I dropped my sister off at the airport yesterday and got a little teary but then immediately got lost on the interstate and couldn't break down and cry. Once I got somewhere I recognized the feeling had passed and I went to the bookstore instead. (Where I spent 90 dollars on four books, I will never get used to new book prices. But! It's an independent bookstore that has this stamp collecting system, where I get a stamp every time I spend ten bucks and after twenty stamps I get a $30 gift certificate. I love this system.) I've actually spent quite a bit of money since getting here, I really need my job to start so I stop having all this time on my hands.
I miss miss miss the internet. I think the place I'm in has wireless, but I don't have a wireless card in my desktop and I don't have a lap top yet. Apparently I may get one from the church, at which point I'll be set for life for my illicit internet usage. I'll know next week, I think. Until then someone better be saving the good stories for me. Somewhere. *sighs*
Love to you. :D
