in San Francisco

[trochee]

I've been totally absent on this journal for some time.

boobirdsfly (D~) and I have landed in the sunniest part of San Francisco and we are busy unpacking (we have been for -what- five days now; we rented a pickup and drove over the bridge to the Emeryville IKEA the other day and we've been shucking things out of cardboard for days).

It's a little scary, here all alone-ish. Our communities in Seattle seem very far away.

New apartment is beautiful. We're both very happy with it, though we had some hiccups to work out. I'd rather there was an upstairs bathroom, but that's the price we pay for having an enormous upstairs *and* a downstairs.

I start work in the South Bay tomorrow -- I've worked out my commute, but I'm trying not to feel behind on my work -- the move has taken the time it's taken, that's just how it is.

Perhaps tomorrow on the train I'll have time to write some more.

Love to you all,
-- trochee

Have fun with the commute! I hope you get to try the walnut prawns sometime... if they are still at the Chinese restaurant near the lab.

Fantastic! Where did you end up? And when can we see you?

We ended up in Potrero Hill after all -- on the west side, though, almost in the mission. will post a friends-locked post with more info sometime later today I think.

oh and perhaps I can hang out with some of you next weekend? D~ has an event all weekend but I might be able to explore a little and get out of the house.

Welcome! Let me know when you feel sufficiently settled and decompressed to think about making social plans.

when you're ready, we'd enjoy seeing you. And cook you dinner or something too. Just shoot me an email when you have some free time and are up for a visit. A new place can feel overwhelming, but if you feel alone and don't want to, you don't need to- you have friends here!
