It's been a little over a week since Shaun and I moved to Boise, ID. We've been struggling with work or lack thereof, illness, navigation and emotionally adapting. Things have improved now.
Shaun is finally starting to like his software job at Micron Technology. I'm still responding to job postings on Craigslist.
My roommates Arielle and John are both welcoming and pretty chill. Arielle has two fat cats, one of which has bonded with me. I'm in the stages of convincing Shaun he should get a cat at his place.
I have my own room and bathroom, and plenty of fridge space (not that it's ever filled with much). Shaun's townhouse is cozy. The neighbors are interesting. One was BBQing in a Tye-Dye T-shirt. A few of the little neighbors challenged Shaun and I to a game of tether ball. Of course they kicked our butts.
Recently I got the ERG valve on my car replaced. The mechanic promptly informed me of many other things that need to be fixed. I also pumped my own gas by myself for the first time this week. I'm still pretty proud of myself.
It's been hard on both Shaun and I not having a social life. We've made some tentative plans for dancing. Tonight Arielle's friend is coming over and the three of us are having a "girl's night." I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.
