Ahh... the old apartment is clean...at least cleaner than when they gave it to me 4 years ago and thats saying something. I do the exit walkthru today at 4:30 pm. Wish me luck...got over $500 deposit riding on the line here. I would love to have that money back in time to get to use it at Pennsic. This move has drained my funds and if I want to be a good girl and pay all my bills, It leaves me with just enough to get to Pennsic and back...but no spending cash :(
This is the first apartment I may actually see a deposit refund. I've always done the well gotta go so use the deposit as last months rent deal. Or I didn't exactly clean the place well and never bothered to inquire about the measly deposit. There is a certain freedom in that, but I just don't have it in me anymore...been on the otherside of being screwed too many times for me not to care. Plus my karmic leash is getting shorter every year. I actually for once reported that I have two cats on my lease...the extra $40 bucks a month burns a bit, but I don't have to contantly worry about having to hide them, which is a major relief. The apartment is a ground level floor, so if the cats are in the window, its kinda hard not to notice. They say money can't buy you happiness, but it sure can buy you security...if you feel safe its much easier to find and truely enjoy happiness!
I love my knew apartment by the way!!!!!!
The kitchen is amazing. I can actually fit my breakfast bar table, my antique kitchen hutch, sewing table, craft table and still have decent room to walk around and function like a real person! Everything just kind of fell into place...yep that is just where that piece of furniture was meant to go. I never really liked my old apartment. The energy was all wrong and nothing quite worked exactly the way I wanted it to. The design sucked and my neighbors were a nightmare. But things are good now and I can make this my home. Even after Joe left and I had the entire 2 bedroom apartment to myself, I never felt like I could do anything with it that was my own "My Precious". It took six months to packs all my stuff, but it took only two days to unpack 80% of it. I love unpacking...its like christmas...oh yeah I forgot I had that...how cool!
