slipjig3I notice that in my more recent years I tend to go on at length about blathery nothings online , but stay fairly quiet about the important stuff. This can be sad when I've left out good things, or lonely when I've ignored bad ones, but it can get downright baffling when I sit up straight and ask myself, "...wait, did I tell anyone that I moved to Worcester?"
So, um, hey, everyone:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rain_herself and I moved to Worcester!
When the time came for relocation, we decided that we were ready to make a space for the two of us that we could make our own instead of a roommate situation, which pretty much priced us out of the immediate Boston suburbs. We drew a mental red line on the map showing how far from the city and our employers we were willing to go, with Worcester pretty much right on that line. I'll admit to being skeptical about the area when we started our whirlwind search, but the apartment we wound up taking convinced me: enough space, high ceilings, carpeting, free WiFi (!), a kitchen that's not also the living room (far from a given, believe you me), off-street parking, an on-call staff who actually shows up to repair things in less than an hour, and best of a damned good deal thanks torain_herself's status as a grad student. Aside from wishing for just one more closet, the only real downside is the commute, which isn't all that awful now that we've got the optimal routes and timing ironed out, and distance from friends, which have gone from being 30 minutes away to an hour and a quarter, tops. Totally worth the trip.
Days since we moved to Folie a Deux (our name for the apartment): seven. Days since it started feeling like home: six. Enough said. Hope to see y'all soon.
