Comfortably Dazed Dislocation

For nearly seven years now I’ve lived in the same house. The longest I’ve lived anywhere since I was a kid. But right now I am having that feeling, the one you get the first night spent in a new apartment. All because the husband was motivated today. He singlehandedly swapped rooms. The smallest bedroom had been serving as his home office for far too long while our much larger master bedroom had been used solely for sleeping. Since he works from home full-time it made sense to have him use the larger room for working in. I still need to clear out a bunch of clutter, but things are looking good. Change, it can be a good thing.

While I can pretend I’m still living life before the mortgage, some others we know really are. Before the Mortgage: Real Stories of Brazen Loves, Broken Leases, and the Perplexing Pursuit of Adulthood is a collection our friend Jessica contributed to, and will be reading from (along with other contributors), on April 25th, at Magers and Quinn in Uptown.
