So I have the apartment, but I feel like I should already be all moved in--even though it hasn't yet been a week since I signed the lease! Guess I'm impatient. But I went by yesterday and did a good cleaning, which always makes me feel better. Found a few things that need attention, however, which I suppose is to be expected in an older apartment: kitchen sink won't drain, 1 of the smoke detectors doesn't work, loose deadbolt lock on front door, a broken window lock and toilet seat, and an AC that isn't cooling as it should. Hopefully, they'll be able to address these without me unhinging my jaw and devouring them all for a snack!
And I need to get a truck/help lined up for moving the big furniture. My friend Rebecca knows someone who might help (and she'll probably read this!)--but I don't when it's all going to happen. This weekend is full of prior commitments, and absolutely nothing is packed or ready to go.
Add to that that my partner is being really good, not drinking and cooperating with my ideas for splitting up the furniture, what to do with the house, etc. Makes me think that if we can work through all this, maybe there's hope yet. We'll see.
Through it all, I continue to try and listen to my heart, meditate when possible, look for the bigger picture, and accept the lessons that are coming my way. Just one question: Do I get a gold star when this is all over???
