March 25, 2010

Simplifying and Downsizing

March 4, 2010

Well, my new place is a basement suite in the corner of a house not even the whole basement, and it’s about 500 sq feet. … I will be sending quite a bit of furniture back home with my Dad to go into storage, but I also need to figure out some space-savers when it comes to stuff that I’m keeping.

Living Alone

September 25, 2009

I’ve been officially living on my own for three weeks now. It’s a number of things all at once; it’s lonely, it’s relaxing, it’s tidy, it’s fun, it’s scary, it’s boring.
Do I miss Eric’s presence? Absolutely. Do I miss running the dishwasher every. single. day. and constantly putting the toilet seat down? Not so much.
