Even one big life thing makes a post
Hello, internet friends. I know, I know: I don't write, I don't call...I only show up to talk about me at points of crisis or excitement. I swear I think anout you all the time. I'm pretty good about reading my LJ and DW flists. Less so tumblr, although sometimes I trip and fall onto somebody's tumblr and then log in to add them there and take five minutes to cruise my tumblr roll (is that what it's called? enh, close enough)
The excitement this time is that I'm in the hell of getting ready to move...
into an apartment building that is across the street from my workplace. A tiny studio on the 7th floor. I have never lived above the second floor anywhere, even in college. I am excited for my commute to be crossing the street. I am excited to transition to a car-free lifestyle. I am excited by the prospect of the smartphone-controlled video call entry system and the laundry room conveniences, which include cashless payment options and a remote load-finish notification system. And only have to keep up a small space that is basically a spacious bedroom with a kitchen in it and an attached bathroom. And the combination microwave/convection oven. And the full-size refrigerator. And all of the important things I really need and none of the hassles I don't. And I bet I can sleep until 15-20 minutes before I have to be on desk at work. And I can be back in my jammies 15 minutes after closing. And if I forget my lunch or my meds, I can pop across the street at will to grab whatever. I mean, I'm super stressed about sorting though all my shit from the past decade and a half to condense myself to less than half the space at more than twice the cost...but once I get through it this move is going to be so good!
So good! And maybe I'll have more time for fannish engagement and projects and other fun times!
Today I made arrangements to pick up my keys late next week, and I requested a quote from movers for Memorial Day. I have the info I need to set up electrical service, so I'll call about that in the next few days. Busy, busy, busy!
