~6 hrs sleep. not my fault.

In a couple of months I'm going to be living in my own apartment for the first time in . . . well . . . ever. This will have certain advantages over my current residence:

• The kitchen will be mine mine mine, not taken over by (to choose a random example) other people's fruit-fly-attracting produce / compost.
  
• The temperature will remain more or less constant: if I go to bed at quarter of eleven midnight teach me to post when I'm too tired to do math and it's so warm and stuffy that I have to turn both fans on full-blast and ignore the sheets and still not be able to get to sleep for an hour, the air conditioner will not miraculously kick on and form icicles on my nose at seven in the morning.
  
• Showering will no longer require putting my glasses on to check the shower stall for spiders, nor will it require waiting in line because my landlord decided today would be a good day to actually shower.
  
• No dog. No scratching of dog toenails outside my door at six AM, no dogshit at the bottom of the stairs, no frantic barking whenever anyone approaches the house.

A lot of things about two months from now scare me. Moving ain't one of them.

no nap for me

For those who asked, and those who were curious but didn't: like uilos I'll be moving to the DC area, because that is where jobs come from. There is technically a nonzero chance that I'll stay in B-burg, but I think the amount of money I'd ask for started out higher than this company would be willing to pay and it's only gone up since then. Plus they've already got one technically-writer / tester.

And oh yes, another thing that will be different When I Move will be the amount of light coming in at the windows. I shall have miniblinds and/or curtains, that I may choose the hours when the harsh rays of the Daystar flood my bedroom. This choice is unlikely to be "from sunup to sundown."
