The Places in Between

I really don't know if I should bother posting just to avoid an inactivity purge, but at the same time I'm not willing to surrender my name.

I just finished rewatching Wolf's Rain, so forgive a bit of fannish quiz spam. At least I cut it, right?

( I'm not sure I agree, but then there weren't that many options. )

Wow, it's been a long time since I was active on my journals. I see LiveJournal has continued to make dubious business decisions while I was gone. InsaneJournal seems to be the best option for a new location. I was torn between here and GreatestJournal but apparently the latter isn't living up to its name.

Anyway, we're officially moved in, the last box has been unpacked. I found a job at the local craft store so that's cut down on the amount of time I have to manage the house. I don't need the job really, my SO makes enough for both of us, but it's a bit tighter than it was with the higher cost of living here. And I don't have the network of friends and family here to get me out of the house regularly. The employee discount doesn't hurt either.

We've taken the basement and finished up the finishing enough to make it a viable craft and art space, which makes doing laundry not that much of a chore. I can work on projects while waiting on the washer and dryer. That's much more convenient than our old set up with the rental space, though it might be a bit cramped if we take a trip to recover the rest of our supplies from where we left them in storage. We have time to work out the kinks in the system before then, I refuse to move cargo in winter when I don't have to.

The other half has a really good job offer so we're going to go investigate the area and hopefully find affordable housing within a reasonable commuting distance. Assuming we can, or that we at least determine that housing costs plus commuting costs won't make the new higher paying job pay less than the old one, the offer will be accepted and the packing will commence.

If we're really lucky we'll be able to make the decision quickly and I'll won't be stuck packing and moving the bulky stuff by myself while the SO is off in an empty apartment camping out on the floor and commuting to the new job.
