New apartment... Last week I found, made an appointment to see, signed a lease for, and moved into an apartment. Its close to downtown, will be a much shorter walk to work, fits my budget, and the landlord loves that I have a cat. (More to the point, loves that her name is Cris and my cat's name is Chrissy.) It was a beautiful day yesterday for a move. The whole ordeal (orchestrated mostly by Lauren, Cheri, and Lori because my brain just doesn't work that way) was flawless. Lauren and I took a trip in her car at 11:45 ish... At 1, Lauren, Cheri, and Lori made a caravan carrying most all the rest of my earthly possesions in three vehicles across town. Strategically moving boxes as though we were the bucket brigade, everything was in my new apartment in literally an hour, tops. Lauren's boyfriend even stopped by to help with some of the big stuff. Now that everything's there, I'm not in a hurry to un-pack... even though it would probably only take me a few hours. I'm not looking forward to addressing a few unpleasant things... like the bolt that I had to cut when I took my futon apart which will probably prevent easy reassembly, or the chunk of my desk that is missing from when I tried moving it away from the wall. Moving twice in short succession has also made me senstive to the amount of stuff I own. I almost feel like I'm taking up too much space on the planet having an entire one-bedroom to myself. And its not even that big an apartment. All I really NEED is a studio or a room somewhere. I don't have, nor do I want, enough stuff to fill all the space. I'm going to go grab a cup of coffee and read the latest New Yorker to avoid being in an apartment filled with boxes... maybe I'll think about arranging stuff tonight when I get home... | private feedback | |
