The first week in the new apartment has come to an end at last. I'm still exhausted. I didn't sleep much at all this week. New bed synrome and new place syndrome all mixed up together. Plus being lonely living off on my own. Really not the greatest combination. But it's starting to feel a lot better living here with each day. Starting to call the place home (Thought it would take months to get to that point so that 's good).
Today, I walked to the QFC that's 5blocks away and took a peek in the windows of the shops on the way. Looks like a few good bakeries and a pub or two are near by. Go figure, Ballard has pubs. Lol. Hauled out my trash to the curb for the first time, something that I've done but never really owned the trash being hauled out before. Not quite the same as doing it as a chore for your folks. Lol.
It was a horrible week all in all. Got lots done though. Slowly getting all the addres changes taken care of this week. I'm sure I've forgoten a few more. Also, looking into renter's inssurance. Need that soon-ish. Then maybe a car. Then maybe some toys for the place.
Missing my best friend a lot this week. (Wishing she was more.) I'd be real nice to have her closer. And it'd be real nice to say goodnight to someone or come home to some one.
Only cried once this week about moving out. I went back home to the folks to grab a few more things. And of all the possible reasons to cry....I started to cry about the silly bird that we have. It's a blue little budgie and it's the most quirk ridden bird ever. All, chatter and talk, social to the point of annoying and generally a fiend for shiny thigns. lol. Great pet. he used to know i was the one that'd let him out of his cage so would run up to the door when i came home everyday. I miss that a lot.
Gah. I am such a sap. *pulls himself together* Ok. I'm good.
Anyway....minor emotional issues aside. This seems like a good place. Wish it had a bit more sun, wish the drains drained faster, wish the fan in the bathroom was quieter and better. But all in all, it's more than enough for me to live in (and with) for a little while, maybe a few years. Hoping that maybe in a few years I'll be moving in with someone else, you know
.
Gotta get ready for work tommorow.
