I started moving into my new condo today [View All]

I had forgotten how much stuff I had. I took over a pick-up truck load of stuff today and none of it was even furniture. Just boxes and boxes of crap. I started to look through the stuff to see if I could thin it out a little, but I found myself thinking, "No, I can't throw that away. No, I can't part with that," even though much of the stuff is things that have been sitting in boxes for years.

When I walked into my condo today I felt a giddy sense of pleasure. I love my mom and step-dad and I am very grateful that they let me stay with them while I was in between homes, but it's going to be very good to have my own place again.

Tomorrow I will move my computer and desk into the place. All I'll have left to move is my bedroom. I need to by living room stuff and a TV. I'm going to have that delivered and then I will be all set.

This is the happiest I've been in a while. I felt like a bum living here. I was welcome, it's just that I'm 34 years old and living with my folks. That won't help your self esteem any.
