This move is getting real
I’m starting to feel the pressure of this pending relocation and its not necessarily a bad thing but its definitely a thing. The trouble right now is the holding pattern in which I am trapped because I’ve got no idea where I’ll be calling home. I was in town the first week in July but no landlord wanted their space unrented for two full months before a tenant moved in so more than half of them blew me off. I did look at some of the apartment building spaces but they have a bunch of amenities that I care nothing about like pools and dog washing stations. The ones that don’t have any of that are really old and Ive got lots of problems with those. Anyway, that’s why the preference is condos or townhomes built in the last ten is years at the most.
That picture is of an older apartment near my preferred location. I don’t feel like I’m being unreasonable wanting a kitchen from this century. That setup is cool looking but I don’t have any desire to time travel whenever I want to cook something.
I think the speed will pickup next week as the calendar turns to August. There is one in particular Ive been stalking and if it hasn’t rented by then I’ll see if either myself or my roommate can get in for a visit. The online ad looks great but that is easily manipulated. And speaking of roommate a recent evaluation has uncovered a need for more consistent human interaction especially on weekends at home. Turns out I have some hermit tendencies that need monitoring and someone to live with will help in that area. Plus I know this is a human I can peacefully coexist with so that’s a plus.
I tried a service that lets you take a picture of all of your stuff and sending it in for an estimate but that turned out to be a ploy to get you to talk to their rep and walk through your shit. I’m not normally that gullible but I fell for the trap of convenience. I sent the above picture and was supposed to follow up with more but then I decided to try sending one and see what happened. I’m not sure they even looked at the pic before they sent me an online inventory form that I was trying to avoid in the first place.
The real pressure of this particular pisser is moving my life all that way. I can’t get reliable estimates on the move until I have the destination but the planner in me wants to get this scheduled already. and so I wait… which is something I am admittedly not great at doing but I have no choice.
In other news the doctor stuff has reached a standstill. My followup numbers dropped but no so much that I get to go back to behaving any old way I choose. Not the end of the world it just means changes. My doctor just graduated which means he will no longer be practicing in the area so I will press pause on this whole thing until I move back to Illinois. And thus ends an incredible boring update. apologies
