So at this point Sue and I have been moved in for 3 or 4 days. The roommates all have the majority of their stuff in. And all the heavy junk is in place.
The kitchen is massive. We've cooked two full-team dinners and a breakfast in it already. It's hard to believe but everything might have a home in the cabinets.
We have a pantry too. It seems a silly thing to enjoy, but having a well stocked pantry is nice. It's easier to cook with a backlog of various ingredients at hand.
We're looking to getting a chest freezer in place too. At 6 people, it is very very financially advantageous for us to cook at home and we're officially the right quantity to buy at Costco. The other part that rocks is that both Sue and Lisa can share in the cooking duties. It seems silly, but spreading that weight around makes it enjoyable. And the kitchen is big enough for three folks to work in at the same time.
Kitchen discussions aside, the house feels like it's the "right" size so far. I'm astonished that by combining our two households we have more space at less price. And there are so many "nice" things that are helping. As we unpack the boxes for the next few days months, I'll know more, but right now this is shaping up to be the best living arrangements I've had since Italy.
So far the internet connect is up in the air. Comcast made it to the punch first, but their service has been there about 75% of the time. A tech comes out again tomorrow. At this point I think DSL will win.
It's dry on this side of the valley. I'm going through a similar cycle that happened out at burning man. Once it kicks in it'll be nice. My sinuses were clean and dry when I lived in Italy. This is very similar in feel.
The cats are settling in well. Ginger, (the cat-in-the-helmet) has already figured out one roommate is a hopeless soul who cannot resist a begging cat. Natsha approves of us furnishing her with warm humans to sleep upon.
I look forward to having people visit again. I look forward to hosting again. I'm almost ashamed of how nice this house is. After being beat back for years it feels like I don't deserve such a thing. Here's a small hope that that fear is groundless and that this place becomes a place of rest and enjoyment for years to come.
Mostly because I'm tired of moving :) |
