The rambling soapbox of a discontented suburbia

Hi,
So my car gave me a wake up call.  Had issues with the front wheel.  This is actually nice though because I’m able to look to the future and forsee the $1800 that I could put into the car in the next year… So I’m going to sell it.  *tear* 

That’s not the point.

The point is, I have  been more active, joggin around with the soccer ball, biking to and from close places.  And I endevored to bike again to work today!  It took me only 30 minutes this time to bike over.  I have more of a handle on down shifting etc. and my legs are more in shape.  It was pretty neat!   Being the summer and all though, it’ll be interesting to see what it’s like biking home at say… 2pm.  Not looking forward to it. 

So, because my car has issues and has the doughnut on the road, I’m hesitant to drive a lot on it.  Thursday and Friday… it’s supposed to be say, 90 degrees.  And like around 2pm is the hottest part of the day.  Yipee??   So that will be interesting.  But I’m armed with sunscreen and I probably will Not be wearing my sunshall.  Domas. 

So.  That is it.  I’ve noticed this summer that my apartment is way far away from my parents (who I do spend and would like to spend time with) and other things on the west side are not near me.  Like 12 miles expressway driving not near me.  So in an endevor to leave less of a carbon footprint, I’m looking for a place that will bring me closer to the little trips (the stores, the friends, the parents, etc) and sadly it’s at the expense of being close to work.  1.2 mile difference up to 7.9 miles total to work.  But it makes sense.

seriously it does.  I have makes and radial circles from the spheres that I enjoy being in in this city and greater metropolitan area and where all my circles meet is in this place that puts me a little further from work and closer to people.  I did my internal homework of why I would be moving, what’s wrong with this apartment (it’s a great 1 bedroom seriously, month to month, I like it a lot – space, storage and distance are the issues) and did my external homework of what I want to move to, where would be ideal and I scored the area looking for possible apartment complexes.  My sister has chuckled at my geekyness because of this.  It’s great.  So there.

I will write again about a really amazing building.  I like the concept and the execution of it.   but I’m out.
