Travelling

Okay, so I am 96% moved, all I have left is 1/2 of my bedroom; the half that counts. I need to move my bed, my dresser, a night stand and a lamp. Whoop, whoop! Then I have to finish setting things up (blech). I am now trying to find a home for everything that I have. I am missing some storage now that I am moving. I have a HUGE storage room it is just that a HUGE ROOM so now I must figure out the best way to utilize it. I do have a spare room now and a full closet to use. New space and I have to say it does feel more like home to me now than my last apartment. I don't think it will take me as long to get settled this time. Next move will be to my "own" place, the one I buy. Stay tuned for a photo or two, when I move my computer downstairs.

So I am stressed about moving and stressed about working two jobs and just having "a day". Wonders never cease to amaze me... I have had a friend living with me on and off over the past 18 months and it has been somewhat permanent since August. When I decided to move to a different apartment in the building, she decided to keep mine. Long story short, I was stressed about getting stuff done and my friend totally picked up the slack and has been moving me and my things into the new apartment; the move seems to be happening without me! The stress is alleviated immensely relief that's what it feels like. THANK YOU KARMA!!!!

What a hype! So many people are sick and it is kind of scary. Who knows what flu is going around there are so many different kinds and H1N1 seems to rule these days. I have three friends down with it YIKES. I sure hope it passes me by, I don't need to be sick and besides who wants to be sick, really! k - 'nuf about that. I am still moving things slowly downstairs, every time I head out I bring a bag or a box (poor Gwen), my friend that is still living there has quite a jackpot on her hands, she has sold her bed and is sleeping on her futon in her spare room (where I am putting my stuff) and she has things in such a disarray as she is sorting to move too. I am not looking forward to the next couple of weekends, with my part-time job, full-time job and moving YIKES! I will be mental and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all right now so I try not to think about it. I better get cracking and pack up some boxes though so that I can things moving (so to speak). I guess thi...

Okay, so I am still in denial, I am hoping that the moving gawds will just miraculously show up and my things will appear downstairs at the new apartment. Oh wait reality check; NOT. I am forced to schlep AGAIN. I hate moving; do you hear me I mean it! Had my last party in this apartment last night (a birthday party), sad and kinda sweet. It was Amanda's birthday and she is taking over the apartment so it was fitting that the last party was for her :o). I am taking a small load of "stuff" downstairs to my new place after I post this. Here is a photo of the soiree!

Okay, so I was ready to go to work tonight (at William Sonoma) and got there realized that I was on the schedule for tomorrow, not tonight DUH! So I did a bit of shopping and then I was walking home and while crossing the street, I did a nose dive into the pavement Now I have an owie on my knee and a few bruises and my neck is sore and and and waaaaaa waaaaaa waaaaaaa k 'nuf whining. I didn't pack when I got home and I am thinking about all of the stuff I need to do; what am I doing? Sitting here writing about nothing and watching Angel (an old series). I need to get started with the packing of things for the move. That's it, I will stop nattering.

Well here I am, have moved my table and chairs out of the dining room and it begins, the proverbial move. I am less than excited about all of the work that lies ahead; with working two jobs it ought to be interesting and oh not stressful in the least. YIKES!!!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING?!!!!! Yup, here I am working two jobs and moving; how dumb was I? Sheesh; well stay tuned for the updates This is where the table and chairs was.....

I started packing 2day and I have moved my table and chairs downstairs to my friend's place. I am will move things slowly throughout the month. It is kind of good to be moving into a friend's place as she moves things out, I move things in, it works great. I hate moving and every time I have to move I purge and get rid of more "stuff" stuff that I haven't used since the last move and stuff that it is just time to get rid of. I have been thinking a lot lately about "things" and how important some of them are to me, like my little purse collection and my scarves (I have about two dozen of these), I covet some of my kitchen "stuff" too. Sad I know; don't you have something that you couldn't live without? Well I love some of my things and the others I could live without and yup even those things I live I could live without. K - chat with you later

Yup, you are reading right, I am moving - one floor down. I have never really felt like this apartment has been "home" I think it's because I took the first place that I could find as I needed to get out of where I was in such a hurry a couple of years ago. I would like to move into "my" place, I haven't found the right place to buy, and I am looking forward to moving and I will now have a two bedroom (instead of a one bedroom and a loft) and I am moving downstairs at the end of the hallway, try a new space, and new energy Will post some photos - also getting new furniture too! Will be coolio. This is where I live now. This is a dinner party I had with my friend from Toronto (Janet) Amanda who moved back from Scotland in August and Robert (we dated for a bit). You will see the new living room when I get set up there!
