Hello all. It's Monday the first of August and I'm sitting in my new bedroom in my new house.
It's nothing great yet but it's getting there! All I have so far is the bed, which Tim was nice enough to sell to me for rather cheap and is letting me pay in installments. It's not a huge room (I'm standing in the doorway while I take the picture) but it has two closets with plenty of room for all of my clothes. I need some kind of dresser drawer set for odds and ends that don't have anywhere to go, and against the wall where the door is is enough room for a dresser drawer, so I am going out today to look for a cheap one.
There's this cute little inlet against the wall by the bed and a small wall shelf below it. Right now it's covered with random things that don't have anywhere else to go, but it'll eventually have books and other small decorations on it. And of course, pictures of baby nephew.
Getting the bed from Tim's to my place was quite the adventure! We had to strap it to the top of his Prius since neither one of us knew anyone with a big enough car that was available yesterday. It worked out fine, but he tied the string through the doors, so him and Steve had to climb through the windows to get in and out of the car!
Luckily it's only a 10 minute drive from his place to mine. They were also nice enough to put the bed together for me while I went to work for a few hours.
On most Sundays my housemates have a bad movie night, where their friends come over to watch a bad movie. Last night we watched Samurai Cop which is probably the worst movie I've ever seen! It was fun though, not a lot of people came over, just Chloe's boyfriend, their friend Andrew and then Tim and our friend Sam. I think it's going to be really nice to live in this house. Seems like there's plenty of opportunity to hang out and meet people but also the room to do my own thing.
Our landlord lowered the rent! Only by $12 but it's still better than nothing! He also has a cabin on an island off of Washington coast, on the San Juan Islands than he lets us use whenever we want, so next week a big group of people are going camping there. I'm pretty excited! I've been wanting to go camping for a while and this is going to be a good trip.
Other than that, my month is going to be pretty slow. I got a second job as a nanny that is 2 days a week, but that won't be starting until the 29th of August. The other job I have, on Thursdays, I am not so sure about. I watched the kids yesterday and it didn't go very well, but we'll see how it goes this Thursday.
More later!
