Temporal Locality: Relocation

The Bordeaux II

Not to beat a dead horse, but I'll once again talk about my new place. Closing is officially January 27th now, so I will be able to move in at 6pm that evening. I won't have a bed to sleep on, but as someone suggested, I could simply lay on a pile of clothes.

I gave the place a final examination this morning, and everything appears to be in order. Refer to Bordeaux II within the Photos to see it now that it has been emptied.

Afterward, during the commute to work at around 9:20, I found the traffic to be worse than I had expected. As you can see below, traffic was quite heavy as I drove through Bellevue.

After a fair amount of searching I finally settled on my new abode, which you may have saw in the photo album. I entered mutual acceptance with the seller, so barring the discovery of roaches or termites, I most likely will be moving in at the end of January or early February. Housewarming gifts are by all means welcome and I'll certainly forward my address to anyone who asks. (Well, almost everyone—minus someone I know who made explosives during his youth.) I hope to get better photographs of my condo during the inspection this next week.

Settling In

Since getting in last Sunday, I've had the opportunity to move into my office, start working, and realize how boring being alone hundreds of miles away from friends and family actually is. So boring, in fact, that I'm in my office on both a Saturday and a widely accepted national holiday. However, from that boredom, I've bothered to update both holiday pictures as well as shots of my apartment and office.

The next big task is to find a more permanent place to live, which while seemingly simple on the surface is actually a major hassle. As I continue to search and scour hopefully I can find an interesting place to live for the next one to five years. Wish me luck.
