well, we're in our new place and have been for almost a week. we're still getting used to things in a new city. everything is new, for that matter. we still have boxes everywhere. we unpack lots of stuff each day, but somehow we still haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. slowly, but surely.
matt is at his first day of orientation and training today at the seattle boeing branch. grom and i had breakfast together and are hoping to get the rest of our clothes unpacked today. also, i would like to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies if i can get to it so that the house smells more like people live here. :) and we all know that is a very home-y and welcoming smell, eh?
i have an interview next tuesday at a prosthodontist's office in everett as a receptionist. it sounds like a great place to work with good people, so i'm really feeling hopeful about it.
i'm sitting at our kitchen table looking out the windows with the sun pouring in out at the first fairway of the golfcourse. i'm not much into golf and i fully admit that, but i am very happy to be living on the greens just because of that -- because it's green! :) i'm happy we have grass out there and not more rows of houses or something. it makes it feel just a tad bit more like what we know home to be.
we're heading back to the burg tonight to get the rest of our stuff from our house there and clean it top to bottom. well, we're going tonight but i think the cleaning shall not commence until tomorrow. there is lots to do there. i have to admit i don't want to go back there again. i had a really hard time saying goodbye to that house because i loved it, and i don't want to say goodbye to it again. it's lovely and i miss it, and as much as this condo is growing on me, it's not going to be easy to lock the door on the house for the last time. it makes my eyes sting again just thinking about it... oh, these difficult trappings of this physical world that can so easily tangle us up. that house is not our home, but somehow my head still thinks it is.
