Fleeting (adjective): passing swiftly; vanishing quickly; transient; transitory; fade away
Someone that meant a lot to me told me that I was fleeting to them tonight. It's going to take a while to recover from that.

Still Moving In
So, I suck at life. Or at least at blogging. In my defense I have been fairly busy with moving in, getting everything put away, acquainting myself with my new surroundings and basically just adjusting to life as an independent adult.
The move, outside of the movers dropping my brand new washing machine off the back of the truck, went very well. And, gratefully, my washing machine did, in fact, escape unscathed. The apartment is great, and pictures are coming soon, I swear. I just want to get everything put away before I splatter photographic evidence of my adulthood on here. I'm 95% there.
The car is getting replaced soon. After spending over $500 in less than three weeks to fix the same problem I have lost all patience. And even if it does get fixed it's just going to be something else tomorrow. I've been researching cars, loans, interest rates, and all the other super happy funny stuff that goes along with buying a car and quite frankly, I'm EXHAUSTED. Not to mention frustrated. But I'll get it figured out. I've narrowed it down to either a Honda Civic, VW Jetta and Toyota Corolla all 2004s or newer. Right now I"m just waiting to see how much of my paycheck I actually get to see after my health insurance and Uncle Sam take their cuts.
The new job is great. It's been a little slow to start, I'm still waiting on paperwork and other stuff to be processed before I actually have computer access. So, I've had a pretty chill two weeks. I've been learning a lot but I'm anxious to actually dig in and get my hands dirty. When 80% (if not more) of your job revolves around the computer it makes you pretty much useless when you can't use one. I have, however, been incredibly blessed with amazing co-workers. They've all been so helpful and have already bailed me out of binds with all of the frustration that I've been having with my car. From helping me get to work to coming over to help fix my car and some furniture to offering to take me shopping for the new car they've done it all. Not to mention just making sure that I'm taken care of and don't need anything. They're pretty great.
Finally got out to St. Louis last night with some new friends and I had an absolute blast. We hit a great bar downtown where we got to listen in on what must have been an eHarmony connected first date. We determined that after hearing "So where do you see yourself in 5 years?" It was pretty entertaining. Next week we're hitting an outdoors presentation of the musical Fiddler on the Roof. I'm pretty pumped.
That's all for now. More later when my head doesn't hurt as much as it does.
