February

Awesomest chair of awesomeness, originally uploaded by zannect.

February, usually my longest and draggiest and least favorite month, has zoomed by. I can't believe it's over! As of yesterday, I've lived in DC for an entire month, and last Friday completed both my first calendar month on the job and the first time I've worked a full five-day work week since June.

I've spent February working, figuring out what I'm doing at work, buried in snow (and work), figuring out my new city (especially the buses), nesting, and spending lots of time with the Schipandegan family and with Hilary. Yay! Above is a sneak preview of my new apartment--this chair is my first nice furniture purchase ever (i.e., not Ikea) and I love it. When I get the pictures hung on my walls I'll post a photo tour; overwise I'm mostly settled in except for a few small odds and ends.

The other big news is that I've acquired some roommates. They are refusing to pay any rent, but they're so cute they get away with it.

Yes, it's true, I now have custody of the cats. They're quite good company and it's nice to have them around again.
