A few more unpacked rooms

Greetings from the right coast! I've gotten a bit more unpacking done inbetween working and sleeping!

This is my room, which is on the main floor. It's not huge, but it's plenty big. There is a closet just past the fan which you can't see. I love the hardwoods, and the window right above my bed is awesome, because the nights here are alive with the sound of crickets and other chirping bugs that are the epitome of summer here (well, that and humidity!).

The other side of my room.

The chinchilla room. Of course, just my luck that it is the only carpeted room in the entire house (it actually used to be the bathroom), so I just bought a big piece of linoleum to make sweeping up much easier.

The downstairs blue bathroom. I love it. I discovered a wasp's nest my second day there in the window above the toilet, between the front panes and the storm windows. I panicked, then realized I was the only one there to deal with it, so I trekked off to the store, bought some wasp spray, and I haven't seen a bee come back. Success!

The shower. Most notable here is the great skylight in the bathroom. The tub is also a jacuzzi tub, which will be great in the winter.

I'm starting to get more settled here, and I'm not painfully homesick as I was the first week. Everyone keeps asking me about Bryan, so I thought I'd update here. He has a promising lead on a teaching job with pre-K kids, but with the time difference he hasn't been ablet to connect with the director yet to talk more about the position. Keep your fingers crossed though!
