Movin’ On Up
I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t have much time right now so I’m gonna make this short and sweet. Sorry for the recent time off, but I had to take some time to set into motion my most recent life-altering change. Last week I began packing up my apartment, and then over the weekend, I moved everything out. A lot of my things went into storage, I donated a bunch to my sister, who recently moved into her own apartment (more on that in a minute), and the remainder – the things I need on a daily basis - came with me to my new home … my girlfriend’s parents’ house.
Yeah, we covered this already, and if you haven’t made fun of me yet for it, this is the second of what I assume will be many, many opportunities to rip on me. However, I’m liking it so far. I got all moved in Sunday, spent Monday cleaning up my old place, and I have spent the last couple days slowly taking my stuff out of boxes and putting my new room together.
Back to my sister. She spent Sunday moving out of my Dad’s house and into her own apartment. So, I find it slightly ironic that at the exact same time I, being 26 years old, moved out of my apartment and in with Jess and her parents, my sister, who is 21 years old, moved out on her own. Agreeable symmetry? Perhaps. Depressing? Not in my opinion. Downright funny? Absolutely.
I’m very pleased with my new digs thus far. I’ve got plenty of my own space, I’m always there alone before work, there’s actually food in the kitchen, and my bedroom is quiet, one thing that was not so in my old apartment. It’s been an extremely easy transition, thanks mostly to how helpful everyone has been. I expect that I’ll be back to a normal routine by this weekend, and then I’ll be back to my normal writing habits. It’s funny how over the past week, I had probably five or six ideas that would have made solid posts, but I didn’t have time to write them, and I have since forgotten them completely. Eh, I’ll figure something out.
Like I said, though, time is a factor, so I must be going. I’ll be back in full force by Monday.
One love,

Do you guys sleep in separate rooms? Do you guys play gin with her parents before bed? I can’t think of anything to make fun of you for. I’m uncomfortable around a GF’s parents, I couldn’t imagine living with them.
