First Days as a Drifter!
So many of you know that I'm in the process of moving to Washington DC. The actual move in date was in flux over the past couple of weeks, and I started the process of finding a tenant for my condo. So as of June 28th, I moved out of my condo, and won't be moving into a new place until July 28th. So my Month as a drifter has started! I'm at a friends place right now, where I will be staying for the next week or so...from here, I'll go to another friend's for a week, and then another after that...the last week will be spent in DC with my roommate to be, and his current roommate. So I've found out a few things...
first and most important...I have so many wonderful friends who are willing to put me up, and have me stay with them. As one of my friends said, I'm not a fish, so people don't mind if I stay. If you've never heard the saying...it goes like this, "Guests are like fish, they stink after 3 days." I think I do a reasonable job of keeping fragrant for longer than that! Anyway, my friends are great, and probably better to me than I deserve. It's funny, but I honestly don't have time to stay with all of them!
Next...I totally don't need all of the stuff I have...between the few things that I have inside of my friend's place (though 3 feet of closet space is not little!), and the stuff I have in my car, I could totally go for months. Of course, I need somewhere to sleep, eat, shower, and do laundry...which is probably what I use my place for the most!
I feel so free right now...I can stay wherever, do whatever, and have no real obligations! It's great. Of course, I need to make sure that my hosts aren't annoyed by me, but that's not hard, they are so nice! It's great...there's no reason not to stay over at someone else's place, or not head out to that extra place...
My car is awesome! I can put so much in there... I have a big bag of stuff, and my bike, and still room for a passenger...trusty Mazda 6....great!
So all is well out here, good times!! I'm looking forward to more fun coming up!
