Solitude

Today I'm thankful for ...

... being in my own little apartment. Sometimes I like having people around, but on late nights like these I like being able to wander freely and do whatever I want. No waiting for the TV or for the bathroom. I can stumble into the kitchen for a late night snack w/out worrying about waking other people up. I don't have to worry about anyone drinking all my alcohol either. (Sorry, everyone needs their creature comforts.)

Downsizing

Today I'm thankful for ...

... having lived in cramped conditions for two years. In those two years at my old apartment I got rid of many many things. Once again I find myself in rather small digs, but at least it's a smidge bigger than before. I moved a few more things over today and moved a bit of furniture around inside the new place. The living room isn't as crowded as it was before, although there's barely any walking room. The important thing is that everything should fit OK and then I can begin getting rid of more stuff. Like comics. I've been carrying them around forever and I think its time to sell them off. Oh and those two boxes of magazines? They have to go. And some books should be sold off... Hopefully I'll make enough room that I'll be able to have a TV again.

Well...

Today I'm thankful for ...

... well I don't know if I should be thankful quite yet but I just took possession of a key to a new little apartment in the basement of a house. It'll be a totally different lifestyle to be sure. It's going to be relatively quiet except for the grandkids that will be running around---there's a mother-in-law unit behind mine where the landlord lives. She's good-natured and I'm hopeful that this opportunity will work out. Now I just have to figure out how to complete this move.
