Moving Up

As you may or may not know, depending on your facebook usage, my apt was invaded by termites last week. That paired with my lack of a reachable landlord, my approaching trip home next month, and two friends arriving in the next three weeks(not to mention my current lease also coming to an end), I met with David's wife Muay on Friday, we got ice cream and talked it over, and she suggested I look at a new apt. I agreed, so we fetched the key to the vacant condo across the hall from them and I checked it out:

While I wasn't a big fan of the fact that this apt was smaller than my current one, or that there was less storage space for all my junk, I did like that nothing was built-in(and no termites), there was a working tv, the bed's mattress was softer, and there was a sink on the balcony for me to wash my dishes. I contemplated for about 5 minutes, decided I'd probably need to move one way or another, and within 2 hours had met with my new landlord, signed the lease, paid my deposit and first month's rent, and received the keys to my new home. First order of business - rearrange the furniture so there would be room for my couch:

After a delicious dinner with Muay and David(who was *thrilled* to find out we were going to be neighbors), I went home and packed up my apt. Saturday was filled with countless trips back and forth between the two buildings for about 6 hours, and carefully putting everything in its place. David and my new coworker Jonathan helped me move the larger furniture and heavy appliances with David's truck, and I was beyond grateful. My internet should be moved over today, hopefully, and then my new place will be complete!


I am now on the 4th floor of Building B; check my facebook info page for my new apt #, as that page is private and this one isn't. :)
