Big changes

[iesika]

I was chatting with someone last night and realized I hadn't made a post about this...

I'm moved into my new apartment (which is a total lemon. I've had to call maintenance over and over), but I'm already looking at another move... Across the country.

When I was out in California last year, visiting kirax2 , I got a job offer in San Diego, which came with the offer of very reasonably priced living space. Just recently, I finally gave an official "yes". So, sometime this summer, probably at the end of June, I'm going to be packing up and moving all the way across the country, to a city I've visited twice, over a thousand miles from my family and the place I've lived me whole life.

I'm excited as all hell, and I keep having panic attacks and crazy mood swings (sorry,faile_neume ) and this is the biggest thing I've ever done. I haven't told my family I took the job. I think I'm going to do it on Friday, and that's giving me a whole 'nother set of issues.

I want to keysmash forever. That's not very productive, though.

On the plus side, this means I'll be 1.3 miles from Comicon. Not that I have tickets or anything, because I'm afraid to spend a discretionary cent because this move is going to be expensive, and I'll be paying double rent for a few months, too.

I keep deleting keysmashes. My head is about to explode.

Thank you so much for the offer! I'm trying to downsize to a minimum of belongings so that I can make the whole trip in my car, and buy new furniture when I get there. That was a hard decision to make, but it turned out to be cheaper!

The main problem with that is, I have a roommate. She'll be staying here. Though I've definitely been thinking about that.

Duuude. Craigslist. My entire apartment (with the exception of my mattress and box-spring) is craigslisted or found in an alley and covered in a few coats of spray-paint.

Eee! So happy for you!

kirax2 has promised to hit all the thrift shops with me. I think she's more excited than me about going furniture shopping. I've got plenty experience refinishing and reupholstering, so I think I ought to be able to find stuff I'll be happy with without a lot of money or trouble.
