So guess what? We’re moving.
Where are we moving? Across the parking lot to the opposite end of the same apartment building.
Seriously.
We’ve had nothing but headaches with our downstairs neighbor. She’s keyed my car. She’s threatened to sue the apartment complex because she thinks Nick’s Jeep’s front bumper is hazardous, and she complains constantly that we “drop things on purpose” to be noisy and disturb her. Basically… she’s a psycho.
We finally had enough of it and when we noticed that the apartment on the opposite end of our building was empty and available to rent, we decided to ask about switching. It’s the identical layout to our apartment, but the mirror-image. It’s also the downstairs unit, so we’ll be losing our vaulted ceilings and skylight — but after living in our apartment for over a year, I won’t miss them. They’re a nightmare to heat and cool. Plus with being on a bottom floor, the dog and cat will be able to run around and play without worry that we’ll disturb the downstairs neighbor.
The fun part? We may start moving as soon as tonight. I’m not joking. When Nick talked to them earlier, he suggested that we could move Monday and Tuesday (his days off) but we’re going to see if we can start moving over the weekend and take a few extra days, being that it’s just the two of us and the apartment has been sitting empty for a couple weeks anyway. I hope it works out that way.
I’m dreading the thought of moving all our stuff … we have a LOT of stuff … a lot of HEAVY stuff. But at least we’re only moving it across the parking lot. I’m sure we’ll go rent a dolly of some sort to make it a bit easier.
The other thing I’m dreading is having to change our apartment number on all of our utilities, magazine subscriptions, etc. UGH. And I know it will get screwed up, because the apartment number will only be two numbers less than our current number — so I’m sure when I send the places address change info, they’ll glance at it and think it’s the same. Ugh. I’m thinking gratuitous use of a highlighter is in order.
Anyway, if anyone needs/wants our new address … let me know!
