It's been... interesting this adventure of mine.
The first week I kept busy. The second week I started stressing and missing people. This third week I've been calm, and still miss people. It is getting better though, because I've met some people through work, so I can be in starbucks and see people I know. (Starbucks is my current hangout because they have internet!)
I found a house last week. (Which was most the reason why I was stressing.) We move in on Tuesday. There are plus sides to this house, and downsides. Good things, $900 a month, 3 bed 2 bath, utilities included, in a gated community with pool access and private beach on the sound, tennis, basketball courts... so that's cool. Bad thing, the owner initially had it listed as a VRBO and already booked the last week of June and all of July. However I can have it for the rest of the year. So, there's that.
One thing about the south, I think I've been called Baby more than ever before in my life. There was a really good looking golfer from Virginia the other day that thought I was something. haha. He was probably in his thirties somewhere, he was one of the "baby" callers. He came back into the restaurant far more than most. Cute. He said he comes down once a month, so maybe I'll see him again. It looks like they're going to start letting me make them pies, so we can get our desserts back on track. I want us to be known for something and my pies might do the trick. (This is not my ego talking, it's just homemade desserts are a draw especially in the south.) There is so much I want to do here, the potential for things is amazingly huge. I've already been given a $2.00 raise, which is rediculous. I love it, but, really?! It worries me. This is merely my third week. I don't feel like I deserve it yet.
The coffee there also needs work. Some people drink it, but, you can tell they don't really like it. (Besides the complaints I've gotten on it.) Matt, we need you! ;)
So, I really want to have a year-round green house here. I think the demand for that would be huge if I could pull it off. Food here is expensive, and produce can be found at stands on the other side of the bridge, but during the winter, you have to buy it at the grocery stores for way more than usual.
Being now in zone 8b, I think greenhouse growing would be great in the winter.
I guess that's it for now.
