curves for days

First, I reached a new level in the video game called Pack Elise's Apartment. I'm like, totes a pro at level 97 now. In two days I got about twenty-three boxes, three bags, three crates, and eight bins packed and ready to go. (I swear I don't have that much stuff... blame couponing!) I was rather impressed with my handy skills and ability to haul booty.

(Why you may ask? For those who know me more personally on my Facebook, we found an apartment! My boyfriend was the one who visited and met the roommates - I was skyped in - but we talked and he seemed SO excited that we went with it.)

Second, with the help of some very beautiful people, we got everything packed from Albany and into the apartment in Brooklyn. It took a lot of lifting, panic attacks (oops - you would've too though, this huge desk/hutch was being lifted up this super narrow flight of stairs and all I saw was my dad and boyfriend falling to their deaths... bad bad), maneuvering, shifts, and overwhelming Italian-style ranting (hand gestures and elevated octives and all) but we got it done! Oscar has to finish moving in his stuff, but he's doing that Saturday before coming to pick me up from Port to start our new journey (eeeeeeek ♥️♥️). I wasn't as thrilled in person with the neighborhood or apartment (it's so much smaller than in photos and Skype), but we're going to make it work.

It was a super stressful day but I'm happy it happened, that it's over, and that in T minus three days I'll be closing my chapter at Albany and opening the new one in Brooklyn. I'm so excited!!!

Stay posted for a sappy post on Saturday!
