I never thought moving was something I would do easily. However, after living in the same house for 17 3/4 years, I have moved more than I like to admit. By my count, including moves to various rooms around campus during college, I have moved eleven times.
And now, I am preparing for move #12 in the last 6 years (approximately). From my current little apartment to a house. In the end, this move will be very good. It’s a three bedroom, two bathroom Victorian-style house, built probably somewhere in the 1920’s. It’s got the high ceilings, arches, and cool architecture that I love. It’s got enough space for a piano, dinner parties, and private space. It’s even got a big backyard and a place for The Band to practice. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, big kitchen, two “living room” areas, fireplace, etc etc.
It’s going to be a very creative house. The Roommates are going to be NT and a couple that we get along with very well. The three of them, along with a few other people in our group are going to be starting a band. I’m going to have a space for a miniature photo studio. The piano (made famous by Guerilla Piano) is going to live in the house. Heck, I won’t even be the only one in the house that loves to cook!
There have been minor hiccups along the way. Plans to move in this weekend have been … iffy, considering that our landlord hasn’t finished little stuff like painting… or finishing the floors… or putting in a fridge. Minor things, right? I have been doing my best to not stress out, and am taking things as they come.
As soon as we’re actually moved, I really think this is going to be a very good thing. I just need to not stress. Give up on sleep. And figure out how to move between the hours of 6pm and 6am every day while still putting in full days at work. And attempting a social life. Speaking of which, all four of the roommates as well as a bunch of friends are going to Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight. And are going to attempt to not get the car towed!
Once there is actually internet access at the house, updates here will probably become much more regular.
