I'm all moved in!

Michael and I moved me in last night, and I'm pretty sore. My feet are KILLING me. My apartment is a mess of boxes and newspaper and just a bunch of crap all over the place, but I'm here. I still have some unpacking to do, but I've gotten a lot done. I'm not sure how Jaiden feels about this whole deal. He's been whining, but I think it's partly out of confusion. He probably misses his girlfriend, too. ;) He'll be able to go over there a lot, though. I took him outside, and when we walked up the stairs, I tripped (leave it to me), so Jaiden had to wait while I put my shoe back on. The stairs are see-through, and I think the poor guy had a mini panic attack waiting for me. As I started walking back up, I noticed he was completely frozen and had a weird look on his face, and he was panting all funny like. He got up some courage and leaped up the rest of the stairs. Poor puppy.

I'm having a bit of deja vu from when I moved down here. I mean, I'm excited to have my own place, but it just reminds me again that I have zero friends and family down here. And it's Father's Day--I should be with family, dangit! I'm starting to warm up to a couple of people from work, but I don't have any close girlfriends like I did in Omaha. Plus, if I get a new job (which, by the way, I have an interview this week), I'll have to start all over again. And it takes a long time for me to build a close relationship with someone.

I have to get used to these new sounds, too. The ice maker scares the crap out of me whenever it drops the ice into the bucket. And the air conditioner scares me when it comes on if I'm in the shower, because I think the unit is above the bathroom or something. I think I'm going to have to get a television just for some background noise...

I noticed a couple of guys earlier when I took Jaiden outside. When I walked back inside, I saw one of them up in the tree next to my apartment. That's a little creepy. I think they were just goofing around, but it's still a little weird.
