I had a round of the flu or flu-like symptoms as soon as we were finished moving. There's nothing like two days of continuous vomiting and nausea to welcome you to a new home. Don't worry, I'm feeling better now, no danger of me throwing up on the keyboard.
I'm pretty settled in my new home. I love it. I thought I wouldn't because it's so much smaller than where D and I lived before. Turns out I like that there's not so much space to spread out our things. I just make two 20 minute rounds a day picking up clothes and dishes, then doing the dishes. It's also an incentive to keep clean when space is limited.
D and I are getting along SO well. We still have our snippy moments, I think we always will, we're both highly irritable kinds of people.
I have a job mostly lined up for myself. I get to do some writing, so that's a plus. I'm exploring some volunteer opportunities since I get to create my own schedule. The library has some pretty fun stuff going on. I'm happy that I get a chance to do something valuable with my time.
Overall, I'm the happiest I've been in as long as I can remember. Every day we wake up together and he squeezes my hand which is our code for "I love you." Then he gets up and is grumpy with his coffee in the kitchen and living room. Some things don't change.
Most days (these days, anyway) I wake up and go to bed thinking that my boyfriend is better than any boyfriend anywhere. Even when we argue it's about stuff we SHOULD argue about, like what time we should get up to be able to run all our errands (I always favor earlier), instead of "why did you look at me like that?" and "What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?" Any arguments end with kisses, snuggles and happy contented feelings. There was sex every day, many times a day until I began vomiting every three minutes. For some reason he even thought that was "cute"...
I've read several books, because we no longer have television. Well, we have A television, just not cable. We rented a bunch of educational movies from the library. I could talk your ear off about ancient Rome for an hour or so without stopping. I didn't actually know that Cleopatra was Greek, but she was, she was from the Ptolemaic line. I'll stop now before I get carried away.
In summary I feel pretty great. We have a trip to Mexico planned in March and I'm really looking forward to that. The constant snow here has been a real drag, I'm used to being able to get around easily in the winter. Colorado is not a snowy state usually.
I have the last load of things ready and packed to go from my mom's to my new place. A box of books and DVD's and some decorating items.
I think I finally have what I need.

It was proven to me when living in the 250sq ft that was the shed that less is definately more! The lack of housework I had there was a dream. Now that Im in a house about 4 times the cabin I know as long as I have a place for everything its not too bad to keep tidy. You can't have too much storage!
Storage is our one real problem. It wasn't at first, but now that all the laundry is done we've come to the conclusion that we definitely need some more space to put clothes, stuff like sweaters and such. I'd love to buy a huge chest, but we're trying to save some money right now.... Ehhh... We'll figure it out somehow. :)
I know what you mean.. I came to the horrid conclusion that I had too many clothes. If I didnt have one load in the dirty pile, one in a basket waiting to be put away, one in the dryer and one in the machine I didnt have enough room for it all.. Hence I've now narrowed down my wardrobe to next to nothing. I only seemed to wear a few bits of the hundreds that I had anyway! You'll cram it all in and probably find room for more! I seem to be going through a phase of getting rid of all the things I've collected in my hoarding phases I like having empty spaces around me.
