i stamped my foot and whined

[katekat]

All the whining in the world won't really do any good - we still have to go back to the old place to pick up the last couple of carloads of things.  Those random bits and baubles that are left in the corners and the closets, covered now in moving dust and spider webs.  Who knew spiders were that quick? 

Oh, wait, I did.  They're fast when they've got plenty of room to stretch out in.  And I'd love to leave their webs alone, but we're trying to get all of the leftovers (be they tennis racquets or old flower vases) over to the new place.  Yet neither one of us really wants to deal with the dust or the empty walls and echos of the old place. 

And at the new place... it's comfy and squishy and mostly unpacked and all I want to do is wander around feeling more and more comfortable in it.  I don't remember feeling quite this right in a place before, not as fast, and I love it.

I have only a small room of stuff to transport and it will all fit in two or three boxes if you ignore the really big stuff and I'm already dreading moving. I have no idea how people can move entire houses.

you know, i kind of take 'em one room at a time... also, it helps to have practice. And it does get totally tiring, so ... maybe that's why people stay in the same place for 30 years? it certainly sounds good at the moment....

Heh. Could be.

I got word about an hour before I commented that I should get my settlement money soon so the idea of moving was on my mind when I read your post and that was the end-result.

I am so not moving again after this. I'm gonna be buried wherever I wind up moving. :p

[katekat]

ha! ok, never say never.

but your settlement money's finally coming? that's AWESOME!

Yeah. Should get it in the next couple weeks after I sign all the releases and stuff. Then I'll spend the next month or so looking for places and buying stuff for my bachelor pad. All griping aside, I'm looking forward to it.

Thinking about it, you're one of the very first to know outside my boss, roommate, and parents. Guess that means you're special. :p

*squee*! thank you. now i'm all warm and cuddly! although i think you've done a post since then, so probably now everyone else knows too ... still, congratulations again. I can't wait to hear about said bachelor pad and all of the fun stuff associated with it.

Yeah. I couldn't sit on it much longer but you still knew first and there will be lots o' pictures.

I just hope my roommates don't kill me for moving out on them. Livie in particular seems pretty upset 'cause she's grown accustomed to my $400 every month and they're not in the best financial shape but I'll go crazy if I have to stay here and I don't owe them anything anyway.

Blah. Sorry to dump this all on you. It's just that now it's all starting to come together and I'm starting to feel a bit of a squeeze and I just have to let it out somewhere and I feel safe talking to you in your journal instead of posting locked entries to my own.

Thanks for listening.

[katekat]

yay for pictures! i love pictures - they're of the good.

And they won't kill you, no matter how disgruntled they might be at the moment... i know for lots of people any change is bad, so give 'em a little time. Besides, you need to put your own mental heath first. And even though it might be hard for them to find someone else, you've given 'em *plenty* of notice.

and it's totally ok to talk about it! you're NOT dumping. you're processing (doesn't that sound better?). and seriously, it's ok, my journal is friendly and here, and it is important to get this stuff out. it's my pleasure to listen. or type?read? *grin*
