I will be in bed by 2am.
In the strange way that things happen, after what should not have been an emotionally taxing evening turned into just that, I found an apartment that I am going to allow myself to dream about living in.
The funny part about that statement, is that I am not even remotely (on a conscious level) actively looking to move.
I have moved many times in the past few years, I'm rather tired of hauling my junk about, and coincidentally, I have a rather nice home right now. Along those same lines, one of my current goals is to save up a rather large sum of money this year in order to invest in building a "small house" on wheels so that I can avoid this whole rent scenario altogether and EVENTUALLY travel about the country in my own property. But, as fate would have it, I stumbled upon a rental property, in *gasp* an apartment complex, no less, that managed to pull at my heart strings. I was exploring the area where my new job will be via the streets of the internet (YES! I landed a new job...an ART job! 2D Artist, baby!) when it occurred to me that I could...move closer? And there it was. Staring at me. Perfect leasing terms, good price, good rating, beautiful amenities (including a GREAT gym), and a balcony looking out on a lake.
Sounds too good to be true?
Well, it probably is...in the respect that its apartment style living. I now have a yard and two stories and a basement...goodbye to all of that (theoretically). And it would involve moving, which, I must reiterate, I am not thrilled at the thought of.
But, for some reason, my heart is happy simply to imagine the possibility.
So that is what I will do.
It'll be like a bath...for my mental state.
1:59am.
And that's a wrap!
P.s. The snow tomorrow had better be the bomb-diggety and beautiful beyond belief, or I'm have words with SOMEONE important.

But I am headed to bed now.
AND, the relevant thing that I forgot, that isn't actually that relevant is that I <3 the song Sprawl II by Arcade Fire.
