Umgezogen

I think that means "moved" in German, but my grammar is really fuzzy... So it's hard to say.

I moved.

This has been one of the more difficult weeks I've had here. Lots of stress from every angle. I can't think of many places there was not some level of stress. By Wednesday Sarah and I were asking each other the same question 5 times before one of us would realize that we had asked before. Why is it that when life is stressful in one area, it feels the need to be stressful in all areas. I literally had a day where I thought of looking at Skyscanner and booking the cheapest flight I could find to wherever and just staying there for a while. Alas, I had to move and could not logistically escape. I am hoping this week will provide a bit of a logistical reprieve but I've got another 2 1/2 weeks of the other kind of stress, so I guess I just need to press into dealing with the apartment and then I may leave town when I get that over with.

I will post pictures of the new flat. It is a friends, she is moving to Turkey for 6 months and so I am moving into her space. Which is always a little weird. That and she had to leave in a rush, and is coming back the 25th to really clear the place out, so I am literally living with all of y stuff in someone else's home... Her pictures on the wall, her food in the fridge... Very strange. Alas, as of April 1st it will be fully mine to overhaul in the most temporal manner and I look forward to puting some permanent feel on it.

It has a balcony. Just in time for Spring. I definitely sat out there last night with a down banket, but I was enduring and not enjoying. I'll give it another few weeks and it will be ready for me to take roost out there!

Here's a picture of the view back to the old neighborhood at night. It reminds me of when I moved into Boardwalk apartments in Waco and I kept gushing about my balcony. When they got there and walked outside and realized that I had a view of Popeyes and I-35 they about fell over laughing. Looking at the picture I think you'll see, this one is pretty similar, but I am happy as a clam with it.
