update: apartment

Yes, I got an apartment! Admittedly, I didn't look at any others, but I couldn't resist the location of this one. It is, drum roll please, right across the street from where my parents live! Can't get any closer than that, eh? In fact, two of my windows look right out on their retirement unit. It'll be perfect if I want (or need) to pop by every day. Those windows I mentioned were another selling point for me because even though the apartment is much smaller than what I have now, it still has five windows on three sides. So, lots of natural light, lots of sun puddles for KJ, and some not-too-bad views as I'm on the second floor. The limited space I'll have to adjust to, but by being creative and organized (lots of shelving for example) I'm hoping I can maximize space enough to be able to bring my favourite pieces of furniture and art. As for clothes, did you know that most people wear 20% of their clothing 80% of the time? It's true! So time for weeding out what I wear least (or not at all) in order to save on closet and dresser space. And time to sell off whatever I don't want to bring on eBay. Look for pics soon on Flickr of both my stuff AND new place. :)
