I’m Going to Miss My View

I think I’ve decided where I’m going to move. It doesn’t look like I’ll have any problem getting in there, either. But it’s nowhere near the water this time, so I won’t have my beautiful water view and tree-house feeling, since the new place will either be 1st or 2nd story. And I’ll miss having beautiful scenes like the sunrise over the water, or the mystical scenes, like how it looks like the world ends at the end of my parking lot on really hazy days. I’ll also miss watching lightning from a distance out my balcony window late at night, or rain coming across the water as a storm moves inland from the other side of the lagoon.

The upsides of the new place are: It’s gated, so no more random weirdoes wandering into my building. There’s no elevator, so I won’t have to stand in someone else’s pee to get to my apartment. The way the parking is there, I should almost always be able to park right by my entrance. It’s still in Titusville, so my drive to work will still be about 10 minutes with no traffic. The rent is about the same, but the apartment is a little smaller. But it’s still a 2 bedroom, so I’ll still have storage and a place for guests to crash. And I think Binks and Mr. Bond will enjoy it as much as they enjoy this place now that they have adjusted to it.

So, now that I have found it, I have lots to do. I have to save up more money because I’ll need to pay deposits (again). I’ve only got $300 coming back from here, so that leaves me another $100-$150 to save up. Good thing I picked up that extra job! And I’ll have to make arrangements at the weekend job so I have a weekend off to do the move. (That way I can coerce male friends and co-workers into helping me by offering them free pizza and beer/soda, and talk them into using their trucks so I don’t have to rent one for a day.)

Guess I’ll still be stressed a little longer until this path finds its end. That’s OK, at least there’s an end in sight! Yay for the end!
