There would have been a point in my life where I wouldn't of waited this long to share this kind of news. In fact there was a point where this journal would have chronicled every milestone leading up to this decision but obviously things have changed a bit. I don't even think half the people that followed me back then maintain their accounts. I sure as heck don't. At any rate I guess I should mention that after 2 years, I'm getting a separation from my wife. As of right now we're not divorcing for financial reasons and leaving a slim possibility open. The goal is to better our selves, decide if we even want to married, see if we're not happier without each other and a host of other things. She's moving out today and has signed a year lease at a place in the suburbs.
MEANWHILE- I've chosen to move back to the city. The suburbs have bothered me ever since I've gotten here. I go to the city every weekend to escape and now I guess I'm heading back "home". This whole thing is scary and weird. I don't even have an apartment yet and my lease is up this weekend. Ha. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do. I'm looking online and trying to decide If I want to save more money and get roommates or have total freedom and just live alone...which could be awesome or terrible depending on the apartment.
Right now I need to get focused. I have a lot to accomplish during this short 4 day week.
-Choose a neighborhood.
-Calculate my commute time, which will increase from 15-20 minutes to an hour plus during the afternoon.
-Decide on living alone or with roommates. (one gives me total freedom, the other saves money)
-Figure out what I need to buy upon moving in. (I gave her the bed for instance)
-Figure out what things I need to buy period. (oil change, new microphone, nerf gun..etc)
-Not date anyone...which is hard for me because I'm almost always in some kind of a relationship, so being alone for real is going to be hard but likely the best thing for me.
In typical fashion I made a video about this:
