apartment

New apartment, originally uploaded by zannect.

The last three weeks have been pretty busy. I interviewed for, was offered, and accepted a new job, based in Washington, DC. I went back down to DC to find an apartment, via a family weekend in New Jersey and NYC. I came back to Massachusetts and packed up all my stuff, and shipped it off today via FedEx Ground and USPS Media Mail. Wednesday, very early, I get on a train and relocate to DC! I'll start my new job on February 1, which should give me just enough time to get my stuff, go to Ikea and buy a bunch of furniture, and unpack and set up my new place. It's all been a whirlwind, and I can't quite believe that in 48 hours, I'll be living in my new apartment in a brand new city. I'll miss Massachusetts, but I'm sure I'll be back here some day. In the meantime, it's very exciting!

New bookcase, originally uploaded by zannect.

Dave built the most awesome bookcase ever. I finally have space to hold all my books (well, except for my public health books, children's books, and a selection of my non-fiction, which are in another bookcase), plus room to grow. It's wonderful to have a custom-built bookcase that fits perfectly in the corner, and it's almost as wonderful to finally have finished unpacking! It looks even better when you're not seeing the flash reflection, but you get the idea.

Also, the cats like it.

This week I'm guestblogging over at No Apathy Allowed while Mandi is traveling. Check it out!
