Homesick for a place that doesn't exist...
I am homeless.
That's what happens when you move out and don't move in somewhere else. At least, that's what *I'm* having to do. My lease expired two days ago at my old apt complex and the occupancy permit for the new one has yet to go through -- meaning, I can't move in yet. What's a guy to do, I ask?
The whole situation is pretty lame, but there is nothing anyone but the glorious City of Kansas, Missouri can do. They are dragging their feet with the approval and sign-off on these inspections. Then we get occupancy and I cam move in. I'm so jazzed about the move in, too! I get to move in to...*drum roll, please*...a LOFT! YEAAAH!
Cold Storage Lofts, to be exact. (cue "Movin' On Up") I'm very excited to be on the crest of this move. It is the next chapter in Nathan Lives: The Graves' Saga, Part 3 (published by Scholastic). I move into a 2 bedroom 1 bath loft, close to 1,000 sq. ft. It's all brand new washer, dryer, fridge and microwave! Exposed brick and duct work, and my north wall is nothing but windows. And here's the best part: 13-inch thick cement with cork insulation all the way around!!! No more hearing *everything* from my neighbors. Instead, I get to hear *nothing* from them. Quiet. :)
Nathey likey. I just gotta wait a few more days. Hopefully the Big Man will make the weather above freezing for my second phase of the move. All my stuff's in a storage loft downtown in the meantime and I'm staying with the Overtons likewise.
