It's official. On December 6th, I'll be moving into a new apartment.
The skinny:
- it's in the same neighborhood - on the same street in fact, which was important because I love my neighborhood, just not my apartment
- I will have nearly three times as much space as I have now!
- The unit isn't just a lot bigger, the building on the whole is a lot nicer than the one I'm in now.
- The whole building is non-smoking. Two of my current neighbors smoke, and while it doesn't creep into my unit itself, the hallway/stairway often stinks.
- I GET A BIG KITCHEN!!! Also, I get my own washer and dryer.
- I will now live 30% closer to the Great Lost Bear.
- I will finally be able to purchase a dining room set, and accordingly, host dinner parties and other stuff. I'm looking forward to that.
I suspect that I will finally stop having that stupid recurring dream about having a bigger apartment only to wake up to reality.
Like I mentioned, the moving date is Saturday December 6th. If anyone is around that day, I could always use a few spare hands. I think Craig, Bert, and Amy are signed up so far, with a few other tentatives, depending on scheduling.
The only thing I'm really worried about is the sofa bed. That was doubleplus unfun to move up there 7 years ago, and it hasn't gotten any lighter since then...
There will be a "Housewarming" party or some sort in January, so stay tuned.
