Moving...again!

Well, it's been awhile since I blogged, but tonight I find myself homeless but in a hotel with air conditioning. What a luxury!! I will never take it for granted again. Anyway, I have nothing else to do so I thought I would update my blog.

We have spent the last year in an inconsiderate neighborhood, listening to other people's music, fighting, honking horns and random firecracker shows at all hours of the day and night. I didn't want to believe we were living in the hood. Most of the houses on our street are decent old Victrians, some of which have been converted into multi-family residences. There are only a few questionable looking houses. But Monday night made me come to terms with reality...we are in the hood. I was awakened at 2:30 am with what I thought was yet another firecraker show, only to find out today it was an automatic gun being fired at the house across the street and 2 doors down. A drive by shooting!! In Maine! Luckily we moved out of the house today, but we have to wait until tomorrow to get the keys to our new place.

No more sharing a bathroom with Ed. Or sharing closet space with him. We each have our own bathroom and closet again. Hopefully we are going to have some piece and quiet in our new neighborhood. We also have a little patio for eating breakfast on like we did in Hawaii. We have missed al fresco dining. And we will have a garage, which means no more cleaning snow off the car this winter. Now if I could wiggle my nose and have everything put away...
