To talk of many things:
\nOf moves–and cars–and occupancy dates–
\nOf peniless–and change–
\nOf lease mistakes–and leasing breaks–
\nAnd Manhattan in the breeze–<\/p>\n
So, my long radio silence explained in one word: stress.<\/p>\n
Signed a lease today. Moving to the city.
\nLandlord’s reaction to lease break, firsthand: unknown.
\nLandlord’s reaction to lease break, secondhand: not good.<\/p>\n
Them there’s some big changes on the horizon. I hope we made the right decision(s). I am going to be divesting myself of quite a voluminous amount of random stuff (whatever I cannot sell) in an attempt to make the move more possible.<\/p>\n
Our lease starts March 1.<\/p>\n
The apartment is a big 3bedroom that is going to be gut-rennovated, so it is a real steal for 1350$ a month. I just wish I had more reassurance about what my current landlord’s plans ential. I really tried to do the stand up thing with my notice letter, but I have this fear that things are not going to work out cordially in that arena.<\/p>\n
Our new realty office kicks ass though. They were super-helpful. They are called Vertical Horizions, they operate out of a modest office on 1790 99th street on 3rd ave. If you are looking for an apartment in the UES of Manhattan, call them.<\/p>\n
Work, both 9-5, and work-after-work has been stressing me more than usual, it is not helping with the other stuff. I just hope that in a month, I am looking back at all this pressure with amused nostalgia.<\/p>\n
