moving day

August 2006: leaving kyowadaini 305
August 2007: leaving 64/6 w.mains...
I don't know how I managed it but I did. Woke up today with a hangover at 1 in the afternoon, packed a suitcase and two big boxes, moved it all to a friends place where I'll be staying till I get a flat (hopefully soon), went across town for a flat viewing appointment,ran half a mile to catch a bus back, took a shower got ready for dinner at a friends, again another side of town...by the end of it all...even though I managed to do alot today, I don't know exactly how I did it...it was all such a rush. Now im back home, dead tired for one last time, sleeping on this bed for one last night. Still got some laundry do to and a box and some other stuff to haul over to temp flat in the early hours of morning. Then at 10 am, Mr. manager is gna come a -knockin' to check the place. My room is pretty alright..guess I can expect the deposit back. It better be so.
hmmm..doesnt look like tomorrow is gna be a chill out day either....more moving stuff, defrosting fridge, clearing a messy kitchen, bank stuff, dropping some clothes at cancer research .....guess i can relaaaax only after a few weeks...once i find,move and get settled in a place to call my own. I've had it with the moving. Also, NO INTERNET till i find a place so thats gna be a bit testing.
Have seen five flats till now, one was ...out of this world- clean, ikea furnishings, white carpets, gorgeous kitchen and large double bedrooms, en suit bathroom AND a communal garden AND holyrood park and the palace just 2 mintes walk away!! One place me n my current flatmate both loooved without any arguments! The landlord was sweet as well, a young guy...an architect... thereby explaining the excellent choice of interior designs. Anyway, the catch is..there is alot of competition for this place so he said he'll call us to let us know if we've got it. The wait is killing me coz want it soo bad. its gorgeous! Got my eyes n heart set on it. hope I won't have to get dissappointed coz the rest of the places are victorian tenement dumps compared to this one. fingers crossed.
Am very sad one of my uni friend is leaving for good. At his farewell dinner tonight, the food was good but the mood was bitter. If stress with moving wasnt enough by itself add to that the emotional turmoil of letting go...I did this whole thing a year ago dammit....now its happening all over again.
