Squirrels on the roof

There are squirrels running from one tree to another across the roof. I actually have a roof over my head now instead of another apartment. It is so nice to be living in a place with a yard again, especially because the weather is great here, with high around 75 degrees.

I spent all day yesterday moving furniture around, unpacking, and cleaning. Today Alex and I will be taking large loads of dishes, ugly furniture, and clothes to the thrift store.

I thought it would take a few days to adjust to living in the house I grew up in and having the master bedroom instead of my little bedroom. In fact, it's like I never left. Everything feels so natural. Hearing the same sounds of the house, doing the same routines like taking out the trash and feeding Sparky, they all feel easy. Not to mention yelling at my brother. It is really weird to think that I have been gone for 4 years. I also forgot how funny it is to look out into the backyard and watch the cows walk by.

On the agenda for today: pull weeds in the garden, prune some shrubs outside my bedroom window to let more light in, thrift store, get fingerprinted AGAIN (long story), and sweep the patios.

I will probably make some eggs for dinner.

I miss everybody in Humboldt and I'm hoping to make the house nice ASAP so that my amigos can come over and visit me and enjoy some fun in the sun!
