impossible is the opposite of possible



We're planning on putting our condo up on the market in a couple of weeks, and I'm kinda freaking out about it.I just finished summer school and will now spend the next week or so doing nothing but moving, painting, sanding, staining and replacing shit.




I'm in need of proper studio space and can't really afford to rent something on top of what we have, so it's time. There is dedicated studio and storage space at school for 4th-year students, but I'm only in 2nd year.



I didn't realise how much it sucks lugging all my shit around, especially when the lockers we are offered are usually not big enough to store anything larger than a knapsack and boots and a coat in the winter. Riding the streetcar with anything larger than a coffee? Ugh.



So once we sell...well, then we have to try to buy a new place and hope that closing dates work out and all so we're not homeless for a couple of months.



And I start school again in 4 weeks.



Gulp.

yep. It's scary stuff what you are doing. Almost worse than being homeless (heh) is carrying three mortgages waiting for one of the houses to sell so you don't lose everything. But, we did it and survived and sanded and painted and laid tile and carpet and renovated a bathroom and a bedroom and a sunroom and etc ad nauseum.

You can do it and in the end it will all be fabulous!

It's obvious that you will soon get sick and die.

nick: I've read your blog and I don't blame you for being bitter. I haven't been in a war or even shot a gun before, so I can't imagine what you've been through. One thing I do know is that I wouldn't go to your blog and make fun of you or belittle your experiences.

I have an odd sense of humor...my apologies.

Well, here's hoping you and Kirk and all the animals find a place soon, and plenty big enough for you! *S*
