Moving..
"Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away.. I left my home in Georgia.. " (Otis Reading, I think)
It's so still here.. James just went to bed (over there that is, not here, unfortunately), no-one else is around.. I was just sitting on the sofa, looking at all the things here.. Hearing nothing but the computer humming, and the neighbour mowing the lawn.. I just love this time to myself, don't get much of it at all.. (At home that is, going out alone is not quite the same)
Anyway, I was looking at all the stuff lying around here, been living here 2 years now, and the place is still only half-finished.. Through lack of money+motivation I guess.. Theres a shelf in the corner thats supposed to be hanging behind my chair, but somehow it never got there (stupid plaster walls..) Was meant for my computer books, which arent exactly light.. There are posters rolled up in the corner which I'd love to hang up, but haven't been allowed to.. (Have 2 in the bedroom and that was it) The table in front of the TV and sofa is full of stuff, cleaning seems never to help, as it just gets full again a day later, so I gave up somewhen. (Mostly because of lack of storage..)
I'd keep this place if I could, but its just too expensive.. (Well, with two full salaries maybe.. but Im not chancing that again yet..) I'll take this desk with me, I hope.. (don't ask me how yet..) - probably get a new chair though, this one is too much of a pain (I used to be able to sit with crossed legs under/at this desk, cant with this chair for some reason..) Need to pack all my junk again, *sigh*, and figure out what to do with things there aren't two of.. Well, technically everything here belongs to me, I paid for it.. I don't need the furniture tho, and it fits here..
Hohum, time to go call around and see if I can look at apartments..
(Technical question: The mitwohnzentrale has 'Wohnungen' and 'Apartments' - whats the difference?)
