Lost In A Storm

Looking for an apartment is exhausting. And frustrating. A two bedroom apartment should NOT be a Jr. 4. Please don't say it's "huge" when my love seat won't fit in the living room. Add this to my lack of skating, Adult Nationals just ending (without me, again) and my weight creeping up from lack of exercise and you have my life right now. I feel huge, Jabba the Hut huge (Star Wars reference!). I haven't been able to workout during lunch either. Ugh! Watching Adult Nationals is both inspiring and frustrating. Inspiring because I want to skate, improve and compete again. Frustrating because I've notice that there aren't a lot of minorities in the competition. Also, where are the lefties? So, in order to represent the permanently tanned and the lefty skaters, I will have up my game... Just as soon as I move. I must find a place in the next 3 1/2 weeks or put all of my stuff into a storage unit and live with my other sister. While I'm hoping for the best, I'm okay with living with my other sister for one month. My sister/roommate, on the other hand, is adamant. NO. NOT HAPPENING! NOT IN HER LIFETIME. This is what happens when two strong personalities may have to live with one another. Skating wise, I am still surprised that I can maintain some form and skill when only skating once a week, not working out and eating whatever I can grab while in the car. On a positive note, I recently saw two apartments that are "maybes" rather than "hell no!". Seeing another one tomorrow. Wish me luck!

  1. Good luck!! Moving under any circumstance is pretty stressful. The impression I have from my husband and his family (New Yorkers all, except my hubby who escaped to the midwest) is it is more stressful in NY than just about any place else.

  2. Thank you Rachel. It's funny to move in NY; no one will even let you see an apartment if you're not ready to move immediately. Thus, the mad scramble to find one now. Still hopeful.

    "Escaped to the midwest"? NY is THAT bad. LOL!!

  3. Good luck with the move! Watching Adult Nationals is definitely inspiring, and yes, we lefty skaters are few and far between. Hope your flip jump returns soon!
