I still have no job. But my time in the past ten days has been taken up by helping the boy fix up our apartment, which is small and awesome, but unorganized and messy. I guess cramming two people and all their belongings into a studio will do that. We’ve been taking pictures along the way of the progress, but I’ve not had the time to post them to flickr. (We made real headway last night when the carpet suddenly reappeared.)
In between fixing up the place, I’ve been applying for jobs and working on freelance projects. I’ve actually been applying to non-design jobs at the university because it’s close to home, comes with good benefits and affords me the flexibility to possibly share lunches with the BG. :)
I am relaxed and happy and a little carefree, though sometimes I panic a little about the job thing. I need a bike and we need a mattress. Can’t do that until I get a paycheck from somewhere. (It’d be nice if Trex paid me quicker that’s for damn sure.)
We’ve successfully located a pub downtown that serves Strongbow on tap. Needless to say we’re now regulars. The bartenders seem to be our age and are super nice. Tonight we’re headed to a movie at the art museum and tomorrow I think I’m meeting a few friend. Next weekend we’re hosting our first couch surfer! Yay.
Things are a little weird right now, but in a good way. I’m unorganized, missing some boxes of crap, not receiving mail (??!!), really missing people in Portland and feeling weird about not working… But I’m happy to be starting a real life with the boy.
Really happy.
