I am moving again. Nothing strange really, for me anyway. In fact, I finally counted how many places (addresses) I have had since leaving for college in 1996 and the number is...13! No wonder I need a website to keep my location stable.
The problem with moving is not the actual transportation of stuff, although that is a pain if you have to rent a truck or get a storage space- now that I have the pick-up its a breeze! Its the overlap of renting and lease breaking, or negotiating end of terms. Too bad for me that I have usually found myself ready to go before the actual end of contracts, so despite leaving things clean and ready for the next person, I usually end up paying for rent even when I am not there. One day I hope I will be able to stop doing that because its getting really expensive!
This moving has been different because I am moving in to a former party pad which needs some serious clean up and maintenance. This has been fun for me because it keeps me busy and I like the feeling of tidying up and getting rid of junk. Lots of trips to Goodwill lately and even the landfill...so away goes the brown couch Melmac, the Alf doll, various wigs, bags of clothes and video games to name a few.
Make room for Yoko!!!
I am working on a koi fish mural that I am excited about. I also scraped off layers of puke from behind the guest toilet, repainted it and took off the 10 year old toilet seat- now, one (me) can use it without fear in my heart of catching a disease. Yeah!
Other projects include painting, light installation, carpet cleaning and photo/artwork hanging and this place is actually coming together. Again, its nice because we are doing it together, making "home" a real place for everyone. And...I have a third interview for a job I really want!!! Perhaps I have almost achieved remaking my life over.
