The New Place

Writing at work again. We still don't have the internet, but it has been nice to vacate from modern communication for a while. Everything about the new place is quiet, and I like that. Matt and I are still working at getting things organized, but it is most certainly already livable.

I've been trying to figure out how to sleep in my new bed. It's so big. I'm not used to that. For the first few nights I confided myself to one side of it, but last night I just sprawled out all over it, and it was for the best. We have also decided to use the air conditioning, and though the bill might raise my forehead a bit, until that bill comes, I will be pretty comfortable knowing that it's not 85+ degrees in my bedroom.

Getting to know Matt's cats, Holly and Ellie, has been interesting. They're kinda weird. They hide under his bed all day and come out at night, but if you stand up, they'll freak out and run away. So I got this great idea yesterday to take them one at a time and put them with me in a closed room with no hiding places for ten minutes a cat. They didn't like that at all for the first several minutes. Ellie ended up slicing my right shoulder pretty good, but later last night they came out and sat on my lap and fell asleep, so I'd like to think we made some headway.

My morning routine has also developed some improvements. I wake up earlier now and have time to make my bed, eat breakfast, and have a little devotional before I head off to work. I also get to work about half an hour early so that I can spend some time organizing and prepping for the rest of the day. I like where this is going and I'll probably continue this trend down the line. I just have to adjust my bedtime. I still stay up until midnight.

Tonight I have traffic school, so I will have to miss out on going to the bar... and probably dinner as well, or at least dinner will be late. I'm going to try and make the best of it. I knew what I was doing was wrong, so I can't be rightfully angry that I got caught and have become inconvenienced.

Eric and Tara's wedding was great this weekend, and I am moved out of the Basement for good. That excites me.
