The apartment is almost together! I'm at the point where I'm unpacking a box a night or so, and I'm accumulating a rather significant pile of "figure out where this goes"--things like my iron, the box of extension cords, etc etc. These things take time to decide. And, of course, I am going to have to rearrange my kitchen sometime soon, as my method of unpacking was, "does it fit here? GOOD PUT IT THERE". Which means there is zero rhyme or reason to where anything is.

I've come to terms with my living room furniture situation; having a side table does a lot to resign me to the couch and the chair overlapping. And, you know, it's kinda cozy. I like that.

I was going to head up to Flower World sometime next week to pick up some plants for the patio, but I got a flyer in the mail yesterday from Squak Mt. Nursery...and I think I'm going to go there first. I like the fact that they concentrate on the Issaquah area in particular, and have suggestions for things that grow in this little town tucked beneath the mountains.

I've got a friend from Australia coming in today, so I'm going to go pick him up this afternoon. And then there will be four days of concentrated sightseeing, which should be a lot of fun--i'm taking a couple of days off work next week to hang with him. (Of course, part of the hanging out will include, "let's go to the grocery store and TJ's and Costco!" because I do need to do that too.) And I will feed him weird stuff, because I do that. :D
