Rain and reflection... did I mention I found an apartment?


It’s rainy here in Eugene and I’ve been snuggling under my covers throughout the past weekend. I recently found my favorite sheets again that I bought years ago from Macy’s on some great sale and I swear the thread-count in like a million. I’d been going and doing all week. I decided the weekend would be spent doing the least possible.

I finally have an apartment! For a website with more information, including pictures, click on the title of this post.

So now it is all about packing.

Due to some circumstances in my life right now, I will be packing and moving by myself. But not really by myself, because I plan to ask for and receive a lot of help. Imagine that! Me asking for help!

And it doesn’t stop with moving. Where I may be moving will be a bit off the beaten path, so I will have to learn the bus schedule and get familiar with asking for rides when dire circumstances approach. More asking for help.

Asking for help has been such a huge issue for me, as most of you may already know. It’s been a stumbling block, a flat out impossibility. But I’m learning now. It’s another lesson pain has taught me. I’ve been reflecting as I listen to the rain from underneath my covers. But now it’s Labor Day and it’s time to get up and labor.

  1. I swear I commented here! Ugh!

    It looks like a wonderful place! I'm excited for you!

    And I hate to ask for help too...I think it has to do with being raised in a small community where it seemed like everyone did everything theirselves. (Well that and just being a type A personality!) I'd love to help you out any way I can...in fact I wish we were closer so I could help out more! :)
