semi-retired

rachel moved in today, and so far things are good. *touch wood*

we're both semi-retired and loving the life. it's really weird to be living with someone again, but kinda nice too. we're actually pretty similar about certain HM (high maintenance) things like food and clean and such, so i have high hopes for this arrangement.

i bought a mattress today, it was a sweet deal... at sleep country so that was exciting because they include delivery. ian will come over with my bed tomorrow and my mattress will be here friday. the guy at sleep country asked what i do for work... i've changed my answer from unemployed (which was just boring) to semi-retired. when rachel and i went upstairs to check out what the guy up there had done for changes, he said he was semi-retired (he's probably 5 years older than me). needless to say we fell in love with the term. it totally described both of us! so now, if someone asks what i do, i will tell them... i'm semi-retired. i admit, it kinda throws people off a bit, but i love it. we throw the term around like we own it. wurrd to semi-retired.

i got set up for skype tonight. the webcam rachel got is going to need some time to get set up. her computer has a virus so i pulled it offline. it might take some work to get it going. eek. sean and i tested out skype, and after some tweaking, we got it going... my side was working fine, i'd like to point out. it was *not* a mac issue... just in case someone was thinking of going there. it was really clear and super fun!

in other news... i'm trying to decide if i'm going to go to the car show with ian tomorrow. there are two reasons not to go. one, because i wasn't well today, i got NOTHING unpacked. i slept and drank ginger ale; not at the same time, but close. and two, his friend mike is going. i don't like mike very much, and find him annoying. so, i could go to a car show with annoying mike, or stay home and unpack. i may be leaning in one direction... hard to say.
