6 Down, A Half-Dozen To Go


Six months ago I (finally) moved into my own 1 bedroom apartment.  Six months from now, I’ll be moving out.  I love living alone (not including my two feline friends), but come May, life is going to change.  In May, my lease is up on my apartment.  No longer will I need to wait 20 minutes to have hot water in the kitchen, and more importantly, I won’t hear conversations and “Incoming call from an unknown number” through the shared wall of my neighbors.  It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t the bedroom, and I didn’t get woken up in the morning by their alarm clock and hour before mine goes off.
Coincidentally in May, my brother is getting married… in Scotland.  So I’ll need to be across the pond for at least two weeks, if not longer.  I haven’t really figured out how long I want to be there, so why hold on to an apartment I a) don’t want to be in and b) would be leaving vacant for a few weeks to a month?  Plus there’s talk of heading to Vancouver upon my return to visit with a friend who has recently moved there.  Why not, right?
If I had a drink, I’d raise a toast to “six months”.  Guess raising a glass of water will have to do for now!
