Moving.

[greenstorm]

It's looking like I'll for sure be moved out by the middle of next month. I have a choice of two places right now, and I'm sort of struggling to decide. One's bioentropy's place posted below, which adds a lot to my commute time to work and the cost on my bus pass but has stuff like some meals, internet access, and a possible trade-in of my housecleaning skills for some rent. It's also theoretically an unlimited stay.

The other's a one-bedroom attic place that a friend isn't using while she's out fishing for three months. Same cost, real close to work, across from famous foods, no phone or internet (that's what, fifty-sixty extra per month?) but it's just me there, my own personal space. It also has a really cool paint job.

My totally ideal situation would be taking the latter place for two or three months, then going to the former after I'd had some time and space to myself. Having looked this through, the former sounds like it's the best way to go if I can stand that commute. I should probably at least take that bus route once or twice, and I do need to look at the room before I decide anything.

Hmm.

It's all pretty scary, really. :) It's my first on-my-own-without-the-guy move.

I wish I could post pictures of the attic place, though. She painted it all in a big rainbow from front door to back livingroom.

The garden-ness of either place is as yet unascertained.

Wow. Am i ever out of the loop. Sequester yourself from the world for just a couple of weeks, (and not be diligent in your lj reading for a while) and all hell breaks loose. I had no idea you had break-ups in your life let alone moving to your own place. That is SUCH a big change! *sigh* And it sounds like me again (except it sounds like you're handling things way better than i am - so i'm really glad to hear that). :)

Anyway, Good luck, and all my best to you. Sounds like you're on an adventure - a scary one - but an adventure nonetheless. *hug*

Yeah, it's a bit of a change. :/

I don't know that I'm handling things that well. I went through the four-week cold-sore run from hell, then got stressed again about the move -- my stress only shows up when the situation is gone and I feel safe enough to fall apart.

I so wish I had a space that far away and near the ocean to run away to sometimes, though I realise that being stuck there sucks.

Well you know, being stuck on this island sucks when you want so badly to be in Vancouver with the one you love. But if you no longer need to be in Vancouver for the one you love, having this island retreat is a godsend.

I truly do love it here - always have. I just was torn between two worlds before. Now that's gone, i'm much happier. As long as i have the internet to keep in touch with people, i'm good. :)

Until the next bout of loneliness happens, that is (but at least i don't have that deep yearning any more). Then i'll just hop on a ferry and visit someone. And i'm working on this little shack becoming visit-worthy too so that i can have visitors soon.

Anyway, i'll see you next week at the retreat.
