I spent nearly all day Saturday getting the kitchen unpacked while Josh worked on setting up the surround sound system in the living room - which conveniently for him involved watching movies to "test out the sound quality." Josh was amazed that I never cut myself with the box cutter, given my history with being clumsy with sharp objects. But a few broken fingernails and lots of aches and pains later, it finally feels like home.
The only slightly disappointing thing about the apartment is the view...a Bob Evans restaurant and the post office. At least it's just a short walk across the street if we need stamps. We've explored the neighborhood a bit more and have located the grocery store, gas station, Starbucks, and Target. Life is good as long as I know my way to Target.
This morning I did a "test run" of the drive to my new office. It's 5.5 miles away and took right at 30 minutes to get there. I'd like my morning drive to not be too stressful, but it looks like I'm going to have to be a more aggressive driver. Josh and I are both getting anxious for our first days at work. I feel a bit jittery like it's the first day of school. Will I make friends? Will I like the work I'm going to be doing? What outfit should I wear? Josh's commute to work will only be 10 or 15 minutes, he just needs to figure out what bus he needs to get on at what time. We both start on Wednesday, so I'm sure I'll have lots to report on later this week!
