Do You Think I Move Too Much

I know. I move. A lot. Packing up doesn't bother me and it can be a good way to get rid of things. And since I've found umovefree.com I've been getting free movers. So, if after a year I don't love my place, I move on.

Which brings us to now. I've been in this apartment almost a year. And it's nice. A lot nicer than my last place. But so far in 2017 alone, my AC has broken three times. This is Houston. That is not ok. And they weren't super helpful in trying to get me into a bigger apartment here.

So. It's time to go. With my job change this year, my office wasn't super close anymore, so I found a new place. And I'm moving in four weeks.

It's closer to work. Directly across the street from a Whole Foods. Almost 200sf larger. Has a rooftop infinity pool. And is above a wine bar. I mean really. It wasn't a hard decision.

Next up on the decision list. Do I beg, borrow and steal cardboard boxes to pack like I always pack? Or use a service like BungoBox, where you can rent heavy duty crates for your move. They drop them off and pick them up when you're done?

Certainly, none of the crates would get crushed. And hopefully if I pack well, nothing breaks. I lost quite a few glasses and things last time. Decisions, decisions.

Either way. I can't wait to move!

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes. Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E. Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f

Insurance process

Ok, so who has ever had their place broken into? First I filed the police report. Then after I actually had a handle on what really was missing I amended the police report. I gathered all of the documentation I could find for the things that were missing - it's amazing how often I just throw away the receipts - and sent that along with an itemized list to the insurance company. Now what? How long will this take? The one guy I spoke to said that they have 15 days to process the claim, but that it usually gets done sooner. Will I hear from them in the meantime? I called my new apartment complex yesterday. I am supposed to be moving on August 31 but naturally I want to get out of here as soon as possible. They told me the current tenant moves out on the 19th and that they may be able to get me in that weekend - the 24th or 25th. They were going to check on a few things and let me know. That would be fantastic. I'm not necessarily afraid to be in my current apartment. But I
