So we've figured out where we're going to be living. Tabi's friend has a small two person place within a short walk of her residence (Tabi's friend's mother rather, but they seem to have unofficially adopted her now so they're all close). It's not looking quite so hot at the moment, because of a bit of a harsh surprise. The former resident of this location had several dogs. Who he did not let outside often enough. Ew.
It's been a long time since he moved out though, and while it's still in the sanitizing and remodeling stage, by the time we move in it'll be nice and... well, it'll be better than some places I've had to stay, I can say that much at the least. It shouldn't be so much a bad place as a bare bones, stripped place by the time we start into it, which will be a bit of a change for me, but it really puts me in the mind of my aunt's house. Granted, some parts of her house were very well polished and nice, but since it was all built by us ourselves much of the wood just seemed to never get a finish, or even sanded. Lots of make shift that never finished. Not my ideal, but... I love that house. I enjoy their company so maybe it's good memories, but it's a bit therapeutic.
Additionally, we'll have lots of friends around for company, food or a place to stay if somethings up in short term emergency cases, and help with our rebuilding. Part of me thinks it'll be fun. I'll get to find a pair of work gloves again and work on projects. Home improvement. Like being in Scouts again, to a degree, which will be fun. Getting myself back into the physical work and chugging along. Likewise, I'm feeling more pumped about going to the gym and working out. Which is a fairly good trend for me, given how that's the general area I'm typically most inclined to forget to keep up to shape. >.>
Tabi got me watching the Karate Kid movies, which I've never seen before. I partly blame that, as I'm really enjoying them, for how I'm wanting to take up a martial art again (and well aware I don't have the time).
If I DID though... I wonder which one I'd go for.
