February is over!! That means spring is getting closer and closer. While I'll be a little sad to have to store my snowshoes, I'm thrilled at the prospect of spending time outside without wearing 3 layers of clothing plus winter gear.
The past month has been full of adjustments.
The house has be great to us, though a few small surprises have cropped up. We had a leaky pipe in the downstairs bathroom, which led to discovering that where there should be copper piping there is plastic. Luckily one of the firefighters is handy in the plumbing department and is giving us a hand. Then our freezer decided that it was grumpy and started to scream relentlessly at us the other night. So today we bought a new one that was on sale and we get to plug it in tomorrow morning once it's settle from being jostled when we brought it home. It's also very shiny (which is very important!)!
We're still settling in and trying to organize all our stuff, but we don't have much in the way of storage receptacles so a lot of stuff gets dumped on the kitchen table where we ignore it. The only rooms that are more or less done are the living room and the bedroom.
Then I started a new job at the local newspaper. Things are going really well, though it's a little annoying that the house work has been getting pushed aside as a result. Brandon and I try to keep up with a few things, but mostly when we get home we just want dinner and a couch. Luckily with the sun staying in the sky longer and longer we're started to perk up from the winter funk we've been in.
I've also been quite the hermit...for the past two months. Michelle is in Australia until around the end of March, and since she's the only girl friend I have in Tumbler I'm pretty lost without her. Brandon's great company, but sometime you just need female company to talk about the things the men folk just don't want to hear about. She also likes a lot of the same nerdy stuff I like(and that Brandon is ambivalent about) and it's nice to have someone around who gets why I'm excited about a certain movie/game/etc.
BTW, I did actually fall down the stairs and feeling bad for myself decided that the dishes could wait.

Awwwww! Roxy I miss you to!!!! And when I'm back I will have to steal you away from house work even more to play Squash with me!!! :D I'm going to try to keep up with my once a day thing once I figure out what we need to do to get into the court. :D
To use the courts you just have to call the community center front desk to book them. One of the few things I remember from my brief stint there ^_^
Myah.
