Moving into a roommate set-up with friends who have lived together for years is very different than setting up an apartment from scratch. The latter is a lot of work, let me tell you. I’m still in the process; it’s an ongoing task. I have to remember things like, oh I need a pair of scissors, and a box of matches, and I have no small appliances like a toaster oven (my roommates had everything). Who is setting up wi-fi? Oh, me. Etc.
But I know, dimly, that in the not-so-distant future I’ll be settled in and feel so proud of myself and so happy to be living in my own place! I just have to get there. In the meantime I need to do some Amazon orders and Amazon returns and stock the fridge and look for a nightstand and not let myself order art art art until the main purchases are taken care of. It’s a project! It’s a lot! But I know I’m so, so blessed.
