Tomorrow morning the movers are coming. We are finishing up the packing, and enjoying our last night in this apartment building:
It wasn’t the worst place to live, but the list of bad things certainly outweighs the list of good:
- Random fire alarms
- Random power outages
- No water a few times
- Brown water a few times
- Horrible air conditioning that doesn’t work
- Greenhouse effect because of the stupid not insulated glass windows
- Elevators that broke all the time
- Having to take an elevator
- Having to hear said elevator every time it passes our floor through our walls
- Dirty carpet
- Electric stove (not a nice one, either)
- Metal cabinets in the kitchen
- Fluctuating water temperatures
- Noisy neighbors
- Crying Baby neighbor
- Obnoxious person below us complained about us being noisy at 8 pm on a Friday night
- Creepy old people
- Creepy old person who tells me to get Alex away from her because she hasn’t taken her “pill”
It wasn’t all bad, though:
- There is an insane amount of closet space
- It is a very spacious 2 bedroom apartment
- Ummm…
I can’t wait to move!

An elevator that broke would totally freak me out. I couldn’t live like that. Closets tho? That’s a big deal.

Good luck with the move! I am not sure I would like a high rise apartment. For some reason, I always HAD to have an apartment that at least had a balcony. I never wanted to live where I had to go down many steps to get outside.
Hope it is a great move!!!!!

moving is always fun (well, I HAVE FUN MOVING).
It’s a fresh start; to make new decisions and learn from your mistakes (this isn’t a good place for a junk drawer, let’s try one here … kinda thing).
Yeah … I love unpacking and reorganizing.
I’m sure Alex would LOVE to help.

Best wishes! We’ve moved a lot, and it’s always so much work. But we’re always moving toward something we want – hope it’s the same for you!

Woohoo! It’s going to rock over at your new place, I just know it. If it doesn’t? At least we’ll know who to blame–the landlord.

BurghBaby is right. We hope you love the house (and stay long enough for the real estate market to regain its senses!).
