It's been close to a month since I settled myself here in London town... things are going well, not too much to report.
I've got my place more or less to a "me" standard... pictures on the wall, my stuff sprawled everywhere, that kinda thing. I'm working on getting my bedroom to feel like a cozy place to sleep, it's taking longer than I hoped it would.
I've settled into both jobs now too. TC isn't bad, though I'm not really "close" to any of the girls I work with. Part of it is an age thing, as 2 of the 3 people I work with are in the 40+ with kids range, and part of it is the fact that the boss lady keeps a tight rope around all our necks and it's hard to branch out at times I think.
Henry's is much like the other Henry's out there. The people are friendly and around my age. They invite me out to do stuff and are easy to chat with. Sad thing is though, I'm the oldest of the young people! Made me feel like a lifer!! There are the 2 managers and the 2 old sales guys.. and then me! Everyone else is below me. Oh my. But they are fun. It's a similar atmosphere to the other stores I've been in. Waterloo still wins though. I miss the people there!
I joined up at Goodlife, and I purchased some sessions with a personal trainer. It's been a good way to get myself back into the swing of the gym and what not. She's funny, and I could see us being friends outside of the gym. Not sure how that would come about, but it might happen. ??
I've been back home fairly often, helping my mom out. She's doing alright, considering the circumstances, but I feel bad for not being there more often.
Life here still doesn't really feel completely permanent. Maybe it's because I know I wont be at Christian's forever, but London just doesn't feel like "home" yet. It's getting better but I can't help but wonder how long it'll take til I think of this as where I live.
