was last down here. The one thing I miss so far is seeing a white Ford
truck across the street. My friend Chris lived across the street from
me here as long as I can remember and that's the car his dad drove so
whenever I looked outside I would see that truck if the dad was home.
Now they have a new car and it's not quite the same. I also noticed
there is not a playground at the end of my street right now. I
remember going there until my mom called me in when I was growing to
school. The tennis court and community swimming pool is still there,
but no playground. But I have also noticed there are more businesses
right outside my subdivision than there was when I was in grade school.
Now all I have to do is walk a mile and I can go to Walmart, McDonalds,
Wendy's, Chili's, gamestop- places like that.
I love seeing my cat Silver and my mom again. It's nice having my
own room. Apparently all three of us have a bed. Mom and I have our
own room ofcourse,and Silver sleeps on the chaise in the living room
like it's her own personal bed.
So far I've done things like unpack, walked/jogged around the
neighborhood, my friend Jenn Oler spent the night here a few times since I came here, my mom and I watched Gnomeo and Juliet.
I started applying for work, and I got a job as holiday help at Macy's, so I will have an income for now. I can tell I am still getting used to the pace of a big city. In the past few days, I have hardly been at home. Tuesday I woke up swept the kitchen, cleaned the catbox, did dishes , went on careerbuilder, took out the trash, and caught up with my friend Amber. Then I went to the gym with my mom, and saw The Three Musketeers with Jenn Oler. Wenesday, I took the bus to see where I have a job interview tomorrow, and ended up catching up with my friend Carrie. Carrie and I had coffee, and she took me to a cute boutique she knew about before she had to get ready for work. Today I had a job interview, then I had lunch with Jenn Oler , and then I had coffee with Carrie before she had to go to work. Back in Yakima, if I didn't work I might see a friend in the afternoon , and then chill at home in the evening. The only time I was hardly at home there was when I was in "The Crucible."
I still think I'm either really smart or insane for making a move like this. But I guess I'll find out in time, and like they say, you never know until you try.
