Crazy moving

I underestimated how stressful and difficult it was to move 7 years of my life to a new condo. Sure, I moved before, but either I blocked out how difficult it was last time, or this time it was especially time consuming because I now had a partner to work with.

I remember back in my previous moves, it was just a matter of throwing everything into boxes and trucking them over. Now? Nuh uh... we're talking about wiping everything down, getting everything washed, arranging contractors, organizing the help of friends, getting the place painted, etc. It's nuts.

On the other hand, putting time into our own condo certainly feels more rewarding then moving into a rental for sure. Let's see how comforting it will be getting that first mortgage slip?

On the bright side, we love the new place. My Mainland standards it still a lot of money to pay for a tiny condo. I think for the money we payed we might have a giant beautiful house in many parts of the country. Then again, from my place I can see the ocean from my windows, we're 10 mins away from the beach, 5 mins away from my wife's workplace, and half-a-block away from the neighborhood I grew up in. I know every detail about this area. It's bright and cheerful, breezy. And there's a small pool out back. Not too shabby for our first try.

Now just comes trying to unpack and settle down as soon as possible. Life needs to get back to normal as soon as possible...I think at some point we were super cranky with everything. I got so upset one afternoon I took a crack at punching a concrete wall. Unfortunately the concrete wall wasn't going anywhere. My hand still hurts now a week later.

It's all good. My new office is very comfortable and peaceful. Just what I need to get some good work done. I'll be ready soon!

Need work for mortgage payments!!!
