Hello there!  It’s been over a month since my last post.  I want to tell you so many things but I am not sure where to start.  Grab your favorite drink and let’s chat.  I just finished drinking a bottle of beer and might have another one.  Today was one of those days.  Rough day.

• I finally moved!  OMG!  I didn’t realize I had so much stuff.  I had boxes and boxes full of stuff.  I even threw away a bunch of stuff too.  I hired movers and I am glad I did.  They moved everything for me.  I was sick when this happened and almost canceled the move.  I am glad I didn’t.  I still haven’t finished unpacking.  I am about 90% done.

•  Next week is Spring Break.  I will use the time to finish organizing my things.  I also plan to rest and to take it easy.  

• My cats are adjusting to the new space.  I left my cats in the apartment when I left with the movers because they were hiding.  I knew I had to go back for them.  Mateo hid in the car and wouldn’t come out.  Lola was fine but Mateo was being difficult.  I managed to get him out of the car and into the house.

• Owning a house scares me.  The bills are higher than living in an apartment.  My first gas bill was a few hundred dollars and I wasn’t even living there!  I closed on the house on January 17th and moved in at the beginning of March.  I had the heat on (not too high) because it was still cold and I didn’t want the pipes to freeze.  I received another gas bill and while it isn’t high like the first one, it is still high.  I also have to pay a water bill.  I received my first one and was shocked to see how it was.

What if something breaks (i.e. sump pump, water heater, etc)?  Before when I had trouble in the apartment, my landlord would fix it.  Now I don’t have that option.  Now I need to figure it out.

• Owning a home is still a rewarding feeling.  Now I can say “my house” and mean it.  I can do whatever I want here.  I can be as loud as I want to.  I can decorate however I want.  Even though it is a scary feeling (see note above), the good feeling outweighs the scary feeling.

The topic for next week – April Fools-share your favorite fitness pranks!  Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
