So, with all the stuff moved in, it was time to unpack and get things set up. \u00a0I’ve got a couple of rooms I don’t really know what to do with, but the rest has now been designated. \u00a0Kitchen, dining room and living room are easy. \u00a0But I also got a kitchen annex that I’m not sure what to do with. \u00a0 Basement with a full bathroom – and I’ve now got my weight bench set up there as well. Second floor has my bedroom, the library, and one of those unknown rooms. \u00a0Third floor – yes, a third floor – has the origami room, an unknown room, and the office – where I’m sitting now. \u00a0And it’s cold in here. \u00a0I’m a little worried about the heating bill, so I’m keeping the temp low and much of the house closed off. \u00a0Once I get that first bill, I’ll be able to judge it a little better.<\/p>\n
I’ve cleared a ton of boxes – the library along was a massive undertaking – and the basement is actually sort of organized.<\/p>\n
I also met the neighbors and introduced myself. \u00a0They are an older couple and seem nice – the guy came over while I was working on garage door and held the flashlight for me. \u00a0 I’m hoping that we all stay on good terms – we share a driveway and I’m not really sure the\u00a0protocol\u00a0yet on that.<\/p>\n
I’ve gotten my first piece of mail, taken out the trash, and done my first very minor repair. \u00a0No laundry yet – I took what I had with me when I visited my family for Christmas.<\/p>\n
And… \u00a0 I’m lonely. \u00a0Deeply so. \u00a0I had a room-mate all through college and then afterwards as well. \u00a0When my prior room-mate moved out – or rather, when he was forced to move out – I was dating someone and never felt alone. \u00a0Then I had my most recent room-mate and even when things went sour, it was still to have someone around.<\/p>\n
This was the right decision for a whole of reasons and I’m getting used to the quiet, but it’s still weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
