independence!
I am now, officially, in my new apartment!!!!!
I've been here a week today. The move was tiring, of course, and I think my Dad was about to disown me at one point, LOL! But most of my stuff is put a way, and I have things mostly where I want them. I still need at least one more lamp for my living room since there's no over-head light in that room, and I need a table in my dining room. Yeah, that room is pretty much bare at this point.... But my kitchen is all in order, and so is my bathroom. I'm getting used to all the noises and quirks of the place, and I'm sleeping more-or-less through the night. The only thing that seems to be consistantly waking me up is temperature change. I'm on radiator heat, so when the water is on, it gets warm fast. When it's off, it gets chilly. So during the night, the heat will turn on and I'll get hot and kick off my blankets, then when it turns off, I get cold and wake up to pull them back on. But that's not so horrible. There's no air conditioning (the building is at least 80 years old) so we'll see how I do in the summer, huh?
I'm so ridiculously happy, though! Being on my own has, so far, been good for me. Relaxing, and quiet and freeing.
