If all goes well, we'll move in together by the end of next month. I am a little nervous. BF has nothing to lose, but if I give notice to my roommate, I'm screwed if BF changes his mind. I feel slightly vulnerable. I do like where I live now. I know I can find something else if needed, but this has been a great place to live for the most part (roommates GF has been a pain sometimes, she can be loud during sex and they sometimes take over the LR to watch movies all evening - in the dark).
But otherwise, everything is going okay.
I started my volunteer work today - I plan to do once a week, maybe pick up an additional shift here and there. I had so much fun today! And the organization takes good care of the volunteers - I had dinner and ice cream today during my shift. The volunteer work was often like a big party, though it seemed it was often the volunteers dancing around while the kids sat and drew, or played.
I am really glad I am doing this. I am surprised how many of the volunteers are not from the area. Like...there were two church groups that sent members down. And of the 35 or so volunteers today, just a handful will be there next week. So it's not like I'll be making tons of friends there, but at least some will be regulars.
