getting better all the time

day 6. i can tell this month is going to fly by. it's already been almost a week and it seems like i just got here. i am started to feel more settled now. i finally made it over to boots to get some much needed bathroom supplies. i was tired of smelling like a sporty active boy (only soap martin had) and my hair was craving conditioner. and my skin. my poor dry skin really needed some moistening. bachelor boys just don't think about that stuff. unless they are metrosexuals i suppose. mart has touches of metro but not in the hair/skin care products department.

we've worked out a nice little domestic arrangement as well. he cooks and i wash up. i've never been a very good cook. only when i really put my mind to it. but i usually can't be bothered. he seems to like it which is just fine by me. and i don't really mind washing the dishes. although he does seem to use an ungodly amount of them when cooking. no matter. the food is good and he appreciates not having to clean up. i think we've got a good rhythm going.

honestly it's a little funny to me to be in this position. domestic world. just haven't done it in ages. or this closely for that matter. living together. ultimately, i like it. but like i said before, it's just taking some getting used to. we're good together though. i can actually talk to him about how i'm feeling and he's really good about listening and taking action to change whatever is wrong. i think we both are. we're both pretty stubborn individuals but i think we're working on being more open together. YAY progress!

already have a busy weekend planned... friday night is james bond opening (have to see it, being in london and all), saturday mart might take me to a football (soccer) match, meeting with friends saturday night, sunday is a gallery and lunch with mart's mom (my first meeting of the parentals!), and might go out clubbing sunday night. i'm happy to be getting out and about. like i said, i haven't even really ventured out yet. good to have stuff to look forward to. and i have to say, it is nice not to have to get it all in. you know, must see bla museum, must buy fancy trainers, must go to bla bla club all before leaving in a week. nice to really feel like living here. i think i'm getting too attached to a certain someone though... it's gonna be difficult to leave this time.
