Moving

As many of you know, the hubby and I have tried to reasonably maintain two residents, since he works for the university 80 miles away. Alas, we have made it work personally, but financially its been a strain. We left the decision to fate and told our complex we would be interested in downsizing but only if there was an apartment in Becky's building. Less than a week later, they called to inform me that I could move into the apartment directly across the hall, but I had a limited amount of time to accomplish the move.

So here we are, me in a panic. I'm a planner, one who has to organize every thought ahead of time, before making the final decision. No time to think it over thoroughly, I went forward with the decision since it was in the building I had requested. So in a little over a month, I'll be in a smaller apartment with Becky as my neighbor. She tries to remind me that I will not have the same lovely view of the dumpster, parking lot, pool, and basketball courts, instead I'll have trees and bunnies. I need the reminder when I get panicked.

Hopefully with a change of scenery, my opinion of the complex will improve along with my budget. So here's to another fun move and adventure as well as letting fate make my decisions.

Look on moving as a roller coaster ride. There will be ups and downs, but eventually, you'll be where you need to be. Of course, your flip flops may have fallen off in transit.

I'm sure that when you move to another apartment your outlook of the complex will change. Oh Melissa, Melissa, Melissa. You are changing apartments, the complex isn't changing. But, you will have Becky as your neighbor, so that's a good thing.

I didn't know you planned ahead! I have my funny hat on today.
