song+ Poker Face- Lady GaGa- the Fame
book+ JSA: Black Adam and Isis
scent+ new plastic
quest+ organising and unpacking
upper+ we have finished moving into the new place!
downer+ we have to find places for all our stuff AND Nate's
attire+ semi-respectable jeans and a tee
drink+ miiilk!

we started the move last weekend, Friday after work and had everything moved over and the old place cleaned up Monday after work. our internet didn't get switched to the new place until yesterday around lunchtime. i spent all of last night after work catching up on what i missed while i was away. now that everything's in the new place we've spent our after-work time trying to get everything unpacked and organized so there's room for our roommate to move in this weekend.

the roommate thing is a semi-recent development: a friend of ours is splitting from his wife (i think he only stuck it out this long for his little girl) and he needs a place to go, so we've rearranged. we have no office here for sewing/drawing stuff (the initial reason we were upgrading to 2 bedrooms) instead the smaller room is Nate's as of this weekend when he's moving in. he doesn't really have anything so we're giving him a bookshelf and setting up my old twin bed in there. he's responsible for 1/3 of the rent and his share of groceries. since he still has his job, that seems perfectly fair to me.

the upside to this for me is that it gives me a little more wiggle room in my finances. i'd been budgeting pretty strictly with all the dolly stuff happening lately, this will give me pretty much a little cushion every month. i'm gonna try to still put the same amount aside, but if i NEED it, the surplus will be there for whatever.

but yeah, back to unpacking! *runs off to keep unpacking everything*
