The Cynic Says……

But it’s worth it… seriously, it is. Luckily I didn’t have a whole lot of furniture to move but it was still a pain in the ass having to load up the truck with all the boxes and take the desk apart and put it back together…. and we won’t even get into how much of a pain in the ass a 6 foot love sac is to move. Still, though, it was worth all the trouble. I’m only 4 miles from work instead of 13 now and I actually live in a nice area of town in a nice 2-bedroom, 1150 sq ft apartment instead of in a run-down 2-bedroom house in a not-so-great part of town. The best part aside from the above is that we actually now have water pressure! Showers actually feel good instead of like a light rain shower! Oh yeah, and apparently apartments have those on-demand type water heaters that more or less never run out of hot water either. Hell, since our apartment has two full baths, we can both take showers at the same time without a problem! My friend was even able to take a shower with the dishwasher running, something just not possible in the house we used to live in. Hell, this place even has a garbage disposal, a fireplace and a balcony to boot! Plus it’s a 10 minute walk from my girlfriend’s work as well. So far there’s no real downside outside the higher rent to pay. $660 a month for the apartment plus our electricity ($80 or so a month) and cable tv and internet ($110 or so, I’d say). Then again, we have TWO incomes now so it’s not so bad. All in all, I’m not sure why I didn’t do this sooner…. oh, wait, I didn’t have the $910 required to move in before.
