Moving Day

October 10, 2008 | Filed Under Main |

I am in a new apartment. I moved from my three bedroom in Salmiya to a one bedroom in Salwa. I haven’t changed apartments in over twenty years… but I still have the moves! Four trips in a little Mitsubishi and done before 6pm. Granted, I came here in three suitcases, but you accumulate stuff when you’ve been somewhere for nine months (and are looking at longer…). Thank God I don’t have albums to deal with anymore…

It’s a good thing. My old place was a bit beat (and too big), the traffic noise was killing me and there are three construction sites surrounding me. This place is in a more residential area and it’s a pretty new building. I have a roof apartment and I can just walk out my door and still see the water. Plus – most of the tenants are expats – some Brit, Australians and a Canadian couple. Best of all – there is a pool!! (Wish I had that this summer)

Tomorrow, I’ll unpack.

    Good luck with the move, Jewaira! Leaving can be so disorienting and difficult, but two days in your new digs and you feel revitalized. It is almost cathartic.
