ahhh.... I'm almost there

All I need to do is clean the old apartment and I'm outta there! Today we attempted to sell a bunch of stuff. I didn't really plan for it so 10pm last night I posted signs in the four apartment buildings mentioning a moving sale from 11 - 2 (while we would be cleaning and throwing out stuff). Only one visitor, but the perfect visitor, my downstairs neighbor, Yung. She bought a bunch of stuff & I gave her a bunch of stuff for free. When she walked in the door, I knew I was in luck because the lady can't walk away from a yard sale without something. Darby even bought some things from me. So I placed the left-overs in a storage bin and will drop them off at the goodwill this week. Now I got lots of boxes to unpack. However tonight after putting some things away, I took a bath. A wonderful well-needed bath. Despite the rain we had all week, this weekend was beautiful!!! I love this place.

Week 1 - "Moving Month", not "Moving Day"

But prior to moving that stuff, I'm getting my hair cut and colorsed...thats always refreshing!!!! I love my new apartment. I can't wait until all boxes are unpacked, photos on the wall and I can enjoy my new neighborhood. There is a grand piano in the lobby and residents actually use it. Amazing pianist too...not chopsticks or the silly things I know. People play that ragtime stuff. Pretty neat. People seem really nice here. Well i have an early day tomorrow.

1st night downtown

After 4+ years my boyfriend and I decided to call it quits. We just couldn't see eye to eye and resolve some issues. Neither of us were happy with the situation. One night while at dinner, not enjoying eachother's company, it hit me...I do not want to feel this way in 10 years. Something has to change. So we talked and decided to separate. Lucky enough we remained friends. There were some tough days where our emotions got the best of us, and other days where we could go out to eat and enjoy each other company. We have been through a lot together and seen each other grow. Unfortunately, we could not make each other happy or work as a team. I love him dearly but just want us to be happy. Who knows what will happen down the road but for now I think we need to be on our own without each other's influence as a significant other. I chose to move downtown & experience the most out of this city. A week after signing the lease, I'm not fully moved in yet. I will be able to f
