On My Own – Day 24

Moving out on my own was one of the things on my things-to-do-before-turning-30-list. I finally got around to it, only a couple years after my self-imposed deadline. I suppose that for those of you who’ve moved to another town to go to university, it might not seem like a big deal. For me (and those of you who know me), it is a massive deal.

You probably have some questions about how I’m holding up etc. I’ll just do point form for your reading pleasure:

  • I’m located a 17 minute walk away from work. I can trim that easily by speedwalking and strategic jaywalking.
  • I’m in an underground bunker of a basement suite; but it’s a nice suite. A bit on the small side, but it will discourage clutter.
  • I have in-suite washer and dryer.
  • My coworkers are impressed with my bringing my own lunch and cooking for myself.
  • I have made trifle twice – and with excellent reviews.
  • I have no TV and only recently gotten internet (hence getting around to doing this post).
  • I need more chairs to go around the kitchen table. I basically have one stool for sitting at the moment.
  • Yes, it was hard on Mom – but I have a scheduled shopping session with her every week.
  • For those of you doing the math… yes, this move happened the day after scoring three trophies at the Club Closed Gala Ball night.

So in short, I’m doing just fine :)
