Well, I’ve signed a contract for a spot up on condo row — which means that at the moment, I have two apartments for the next 12 months. Now I obviously don’t intend to keep both of those apartments, but I also don’t have any immediate plans to completely vacate my current apartment. Why? For starters, the three guys I’ll be moving in with are complete strangers, and if I find out that they’re completely unbearable, I’m going to want to have another option. Secondly, I have a ton of stuff. Loads and loads. Which fits comfortably into my private bedroom in my current 1,850 sq. ft. townhouse, but not so much into my new shared bedroom in a 1,000 sq. ft. single floor apartment.
I went over today to take some measurements for some storage furniture (the desk is really nice — just not the right size for someone who’s 6’2″), only to find that my new roomie had his dirty clothes strewn all over the room. Not a good sign, but hopefully just the result of having the room to himself. We shall see. You can bet that one of us will be leaving if such a behavior proves to be a habit. Not that I’m a neat freak myself, but I at least contain my mess to my own circle of influence.
