I Miss Wendy’s Vacation
Coming home from vacation is totally weird–not just a little weird, but totally so. My home doesn’t feel like my own place to live anymore, without Wendy around. Also my home is so much messier than the hotel we stayed at. I can’t believe that I don’t have easy access to laundry, a clean room, etc. And I haven’t dared to look in my fridge yet, I am scared of what might be living in there.
I have to shelve about 2-3 dozen books which are lying around the house, clean up a large pile of boxes, unpack my suitcases, send Hannah her birthday gift, vacuum, clean out the fridge, and do laundry. I finally got my spam comments deleted, and my 1600 emails read. And, you’re thinking this is the most boring post ever, so I should start talking about Hawaii.
Hawaii, was better than great. So many firsts to always remember and cherish. My first time to that State, the beautiful tropical paradisio that it is. My first time Parasailing. My second time at a Circus. My first time smoking a cigar (DR, not cuban). And so, so much more that I can’t write it all down here. The vacation relaxed my soul, bonded me more closely with my girlfriend who I unfortunately do not get to spend a lot of time with, and was just plain good fun. I got some sun, ran around the beach, ate good food!
Tomorrow I have to make a dozen calls to apartments in Brooklyn, NJ, and downtown NY. Ideally a place in NJ seems best, as it’s close to work (30m max) and much more affordable. Living in Queens is exciting and generally nice (see upcoming post), but I want something with 1/3 of the current commute and to spend less money. Every $200 not spent on housing can be $200 I pump into the student loan repayments. Now that I’m an adult and responsible, I want to increase my personal equity and reduce any debt as fast as I can so that when Wendy graduates I can be ready for her.
And guess what–I’m still not completely unpacked. July 4th here we come
