I am beyond excited to be moving out of this apartment. I think the only other time I have been this enthused about moving was when I was going to Paris for six months. I am beyond over this apartment complex. This morning when I took Tink for her walk there was dog urine on the elevator floor! Last night when I took out some garbage the entrance to the garbage enclosure was mostly blocked by a mattress and box springs. I had to push them over in order to get through! PIGS!! There will be none of that nonsense at my new place. There are little rooms with garbage shoots - recycle and garbage. There is no way to dump furniture.
I brought a HUGE bag of hand knit sweaters in with me this morning. My friend Peggy has volunteered to keep them for me until the knitters retreat next October, when I will take them to sell or trade. She says it's a very popular thing to do there. I would hate to toss them after all that work. But here's what I learned - I don't wear bulky sweaters, no matter how gorgeous the yarn. I don't wear many pullovers at all. I kept three cardigans out of the 10 or eleven things I brought. Thankfully I quit using bulky yarn long ago or I would have had even more.
Today is the last final for the students before they head off for the Christmas holiday and I am administering it in 30 minutes. Then it'll be a short day for me. I've got the kitchen to pack up tonight and the bathroom and my clothes. It'll be easy, but might take a few hours. Can you believe I packed up all my stuff from my big house in only two days, by myself? It was difficult, I will say. But I was terribly motivated. It's much nicer to take my time, a few hours a day. I think that's another reason it'll be nice to get out of this place. It represents my flight. This next place will represent my calm, fun life.
