Settling In

I've been here about a week now. In that time, I've settled in somewhat and I've been trying to do things to help out. I've also been looking at jobs and have applied to a few. So far, no word. But next week, that becomes my next quest: To find a job. With the holiday season coming up, I'd really like to have money. Not to mention the fact that I need to start contributing here, and clean up some of the NJ mess.

I've been cooking and cleaning and trying to keep up with everything I enjoy doing. Writing has been a bit difficult or some reason lately. I keep starting entries, then losing my train of thought, and abandoning them. I've been wanting to draw more than write, but even that is a bit on the slow-going side. I'd also love to go out and take pictures, but then I wonder what on earth I'll do with them, so I don't.

I think it's more the fact that I feel like there are things I need to do before I do what I want to do. But the funny thing is I'm rather enjoying things like cleaning, cooking, and other such chores. I never did before, but for some reason, it's kind of fun. I am, however, looking forward to this weekend. We don't have to be anywhere other than dinner on Sunday night with his sister and brother in law, which I think will be very enjoyable. We can relax, leisurely go somewhere if we want, stay home if we don't. Just a regular weekend at home with the man I love. A nice, normal weekend. It's been far too long.

So far, this has been pretty much the life I've always wanted. Once the job gets taken care of, I'll be even better off. And beyond that, there will be school, getting everything else straight, and maybe some more physical activity. But right now, I'm quite content with how everything is going so far.
