Yup, I'm moving again!

I haven't written in a while. Since Facebook limits character usage for our status, I figured why not blog about it. No worries: it's a short read.

When I first wrote that I was moving, the most common response was: "Not again!" or "again". Back in mid-October, I moved back to Montreal from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. It was understood with the Cooperative where I moved in that once I was in I could move to a better apartment. Me and J occupy right now the smallest of all 24 apartments inside the Coop. The hallway isn't even large enough to let my broaded-shoulder partner through. We're in a sub-basement that has just enough light from which they barely survive. Also in a sub-basement, you can't leave the curtains open because every passersby is curious or you see neighbor's dogs shit in your living room window (it's been happening more then once). The cherry on the sundae: when we went upstairs to ask the neighbor to tone down the noise, the argument escalated and she spit on me. (Going to court the following year.)

This new place is the last top floor. Yes, a lot of stairs but no one on our heads; there's lots of light; 2 balconies (front and back) and consequently because of the height, there's more privacy. I forgot to mention its bigger so we can let go the locker we rent on a monthly basis and store our stuff in our place. All the rooms are bigger in the new place. All that for 10$ on rent per month.

I'm sure you'd move too if you had the option :) No?
