Moving on and moving out
August 19th, 2005 | by jg3 |I have to be out of here by mid Sept. That’s right, a month to collect my thoughts, collect my belongings, and hang my hat somewhere else. I have no idea where I’m going but I have started to work on a list of priorities:
1. Location
2. Location
3. Location
4. Price
okay, that’s a joke … kinda. I might have 3 and 4 switched. What it comes down to is that I don’t want to move any further from the central city even if I have a considerable commute. I don’t really want to stretch my commute any longer than it already is, unless I can get someone else to do the driving (e.g. the train/bus). I don’t want to move out of the state, I don’t know what would be involved in moving to a different county. I would like to live in a “walkable” place where they have actual sidewalks, instead of the muddy path along the side of the busy four-lane street that runs behind my house. I’m not particular on what type of construction it is (garden apartment, high rise condo, suburban style townhouse, single structure house, etc.) I would like to have a sunny place for plants and I like an open floor plan. Most of all, I don’t want to get screwed by the coming real estate stall/crash but I don’t know how I can avoid that.
Ugh.
So, I’ve started packing. I guess I’m going to have to do that no matter what. I’ve started with the clothes, whether or not that is a good idea. At least I started with the winter clothes. I was recently advised to “do a little bit every day” and that’s exactly what I am going to do.
