Looking forward | 22 August 2009

Some tangible reasons — that have everything to do with a sense of entitlement to a limited definition of living well which seems to come with the ability to afford it — why I’m so excited about moving from our current rented apartment into our very own owned condominium in two weeks:

• Windows in the bedroom. I expect them to help greatly in my daily battle to remove myself from bed.
• Enough space in the kitchen for both Scott and me to prepare food without multiple scratches and bruises resulting.
• In-home laundry! No more laundromat full of crazy people and loud televisions!
• Underground parking! No more terrible busted-up driveway or parking availability/snow removal worries.
• Separate bathtub!
• An entryway separate from the living area and thus far enough away from any hallway noise, which is extremely unlike our current place where we can hear every footfall on the stairs and every opening of every stairwell door.
• Minimal street noise, unlike currently where bus after bus screeches past and trucks rattle the stove and light fixtures.
• Huge closets!
• No leftover money to squander on things we don’t need anyway!

In a few months’ time, I will share just how badly I have been disappointed. Already I know that I will miss the wonderful light, the non-functional but lovely fireplace and mantle, the window in the kitchen, the separate TV room, and the shoji blinds.
