More than 2 years after Mom’s death from cancer, I’m moving out of Dad’s home to a one room apartment, a few blocks from Dad’s home. Nice place, well-maintained, trees & swimming pools. Good price, one I can afford. Complex caters to MTSU students & junior faculty. Still a long way from set-up & occupation, but all the furniture is there. I’m currently sick (sinus infection & also diarrhea), so the moving process is miserable, but I am determined. Wish me luck. 🙂 ---

Good for you! Lots of luck - what a difference, you’ll find, living on your own. How did this come about? I thought your dad was vehemently opposed? ---

One room apartment… so, you have one living room with a hallway corner and a kitchen corner, one separate bedroom, one separate bathroom? Sounds nice. Students usually liven the place up. Have fun decorating! (or let a female friend help you decorate, she’ll love that) ---

That sounds awesome, and as you said, you’ll still be close enough to help. Hooray for you! ---

I am sick, frenzied & exhausted. And the apartment is nowhere near livable, yet. ---

OIC. There was a guy in an old gaming community I used to hang out in who used that as a handle, hence I assumed it was a person. ---

Leave the door open, heating/cooling all the great outdoors. Leave lights on. Throw dirty clothes everywhere. Stare into the fridge for 5 minutes, never taking anything out. Leave a cheetos bag and half a pepsi sitting somewhere for days on end. You got water and power? Its livable! The rest is gravy! have fun! ---

The stress you feel now is miniscule to the stress continuing to live with your father. Good luck to you. Relax and enjoy the ride. ---

Nothing gets done today. Overworked myself yesterday, & I look & feel terrible. Also, everything stalled until I can get some help from the handyman Dad uses. ---

Finally in. More or less. Kitchen stocked. Bed semi-made. New shelves added. This place is too small for all my books.
