| Magic Changes
Not only was my Thanksgiving super awesome, over the weekend I moved into my new apartment with Paul! I had been dreading this move for months as Paul informed me that he would have to work the entire weekend. In order for us to move everything in before the 1st of the month, I had to move both apartments (his and mine) by myself. Well, not entirely by myself. My wonderful and overly supportive parents offered to give me a hand. And what a hand they gave! It took us 12 hours from start to finish. My 55 year old dad busted his ass harder than any of my friends would have. He and I just kept charging up and down the stairs with armfuls of boxes and furniture. We were covered in sweat and our muscles ached like nobody’s business. The best part of the move for me? My dad’s incredibly positive attitude. “You can do it Joe! Stay patient! Keep it up! Remember to breathe!” The worst part of the move? Arriving at Paul’s apartment to find that he had only packed up half of his stuff. Not only did my dad and I have to move everything out of his place, I had to box have of it up myself too! I was a tad furious, but my dad kept my anger under control. I am now officially moved in. Let me tell you…the apartment is the best place I have ever seen in my life! My favorite aspect of it has to be the ceilings. It’s an art deco building, so they are all sculpted and cool and they go up to the heavens. I feel like I live in a cathedral! Also, it’s bigger than any apartment I’ve ever lived in. Having an ATM as well as a DVD rental store in the building makes me feel as though I live in serious luxury. We also have a gym and laundry and an electronic package delivery service. AND there is a garbage room on every floor! AND (haha) we have cable already without even having to call! To say the least, I am SO happy to be living with Paul in this beautiful apartment. We are already being nicer and more patient with each other. Not having to deal with people going in and out of the place every five minutes surely makes for a calmer living situation. I made dinner last night and it was waiting for him when he got home. We have actual counter space in the kitchen, so I can cook real meals! Not only did my parents move me in to my new place, they also got us some incredible housewarming gifts. I had asked for a wine rack for Christmas, but my mom decided that I needed one as soon as I moved in. On top of that, she picked one that was twice the price of the one I had picked out, so it’s much much nicer. They also got us beautiful new wine glasses, a bottle of wine, and a fondue set! I think they are more excited about the new place than I am. I feel naturally calm and happy today. I’m not worried who’s going to barge into the apartment tonight while I’m trying to watch TV. I don’t have to wait to use the shower in the morning. AND it’s so nice and quiet at night when I’m trying to sleep. In fact, since the building I’m in was built “pre-war”, I can’t hear anything going on in ANY of the apartments. The walls are like 8 feet thick. I’m just…thrilled. I have more information about my trip to Albany for Thanksgiving, but today all I can think about is my new pad. I’ll be back this week with some funnier posts. Promise. As for the douche bag that freaked out in my comment section over the weekend, I would just like to say thank you for your comments. I copied them, along with your IP address and I circulated it among my blogging community. We all agree that you are one special person. Get a sense of humor fuckface! It always creates confusion for me when people spend a portion of their day attacking a journal. I mean, don’t you have any friends to play with? Don’t you have ANYTHING more constructive to do? Could you maybe volunteer to carry some drugs over the border in your belly? It makes me fill up with tears and sadness for you. No one is putting your time nor your stomach to good use! YAY NEW APARTMENT YAY! |
