Moving Day, 5 Years later

[lagilman]

 Five years ago today, I was giving the last sweep to my old apartment in New Haven, handing the keys over to the new tenants (who happened to be friends of mine) and trying to figure out where the cats were hiding before the moving truck guys showed up.  12 hours and Some Adventures later, I was eating pizza in my new apartment in NYC, trying to figure out where the cats were hiding.

When I first moved here, I figured okay, 4-6 years.  Then I'd start to get restless feet again.  *looks at feet*

(of course, since then I've gut-renovated both the kitchen and the bathroom, so that may be cooling the feet down a little...)

This weekend I'll be having some friends over to celebrate the fact that I've finally almost got the apartment set up the way I want it.  :-)



for those so-amused, the kitchen renovation photos are here.  I took far fewer bathroom reno photos, mainly because I wasn't here much of the time.

Holy carp, that means we've been here 5 years.

I suppose it's finally time to deal with those few still-unpacked boxes. :}

Wow. Five years. Being the sort of person who stays put for decades, I cannot say I understand your wanderlust. But I am delighted that you are here, in a neighborhood that has kradical in it, in a space you have made your own.

If I move again before you're fully unpacked... it would not surprise me at all, actually. ;-)
