random stuff
-my parents came on thurs and left this morning, taking the car with them as they start their scenic drive through canada. lots of bike riding and walking from here on out!
-our new apt is decent. nice, new carpet, two bedrooms, in the winter when the leaves are off the trees we'll have a view of the lake. but the are some downsides too: ants! everywhere. and they suck. and still TONS of unpacking to do. moving is no fun.
-i feel a bit depressed. maybe it's from actually having my parents leave and now being stuck with lots of cleaning and unpacking and organizing to do on top of not knowing anyone here, not having a job, and house pressures. but this will probably smooth over. i feel a bit anxious and nervous and scared and sick.
-we walked through the house. and had a 4.5 hour home inspection. lots to be done. lots to be improved, but overall i still love the place! so exciting.
-yesterday in madison was probably the most ugly day i've ever seen in my life. gray. GRAY everywhere, fog and humidity and grossness. i hope we never have another day like that again. but, i was immensely cheered up when we went out to see Little Miss Sunshine. such a hit. i recommend it to everyone! i laughed so hard i started crying, and i don't think i've done that in years!
-ok. time for me to get back to cleaning up the apt. wish we could be having lunch with ruthie and katherine and erik in chicago, but maybe we will sometime in the future.

take care all.
