i am moving!!
same neighborhood, right down the street literaly
still stressful/busy times ahead
more to come soon...
am gonna miss my little yard so much!!!
this new place: no yard, but 1 bedroom
here is a studio
it will feel more 'urban' to live in a 2nd floor
more of an apartment complex than a little cottage
but this place has NO insulation
every winter is coooold, sometime colder than the outside?
and well, that doesn't matter much in Sunny Diego
the problem is the summer...
and the alley full of cars, & the cats
roaming around outside, Gato got another abscess
hospital of Cats for 2 nights... gotta keep them indoors
even if they hate it, but can't keep them indoors
in such a small place, so moving to a 1 bedroom
where they won't have access to my room
still it's gonna be hell for them, and for me
to leave the outdoors and settle in an apartment
yet at least it's triple size of this place
bigger kitchen, 1 bedroom, and much bigger living room
than my whole studio now
still...
ahhh... hope i did the right thing...
wish me luck!!
and of course more bloggy-gossip
and hopefully some pix coming soon
of the yard what i'll miss the most
all the little plants i planted here
and the BIG palm outside my home
which grew from about 5' since 2005
to about 25' now, it's way taller than my house
and to think nobody is going to water them
and i am going to miss the many birds i feed
i won't miss their mess of seeds
but by now, at least 20 mourning doves
4 or 5 blue jays, and about 30 of the little
"common" city birds, those little brown ones
come every day!
plus 2 chubby skunks...
nobody is going to feed them anymore...
but heck, my health demands an extra room
ah sighs
hope i get used to my new place
can't wait to have the keys, so i can really explore
changing Sunday

Oh Frau Bere!
Leaving your nice place seems to be horrible!
I hope, you'll feel good in your new house!
All the best for you from ghost-town!!! :)
Thilo
Good Luck in your new place. Try to get yourself better there. No more thoughts about your old house. You just started a new life in a new house...
Siempre los cambios son para mejorar Bere bere; te escuchas como que no te quieres cambiar en realidad, pero como dices, por tu salud tienes que si es que quieres conservar a los herr gatos. Eso si Bere bere, solo tu podrias combinar gato+asma+gato jajaja!! Good for you! Embrace your new space and make it yours the same way you've done in the previous ones. Your deco style can transform even a dump into something cozy, nice and beautiful. Que te ayude el Mateoperro, no cargues tu nada!
hello my dear friendos!!
yeah, i hate moving and yes i don't want to leave my old place, not so much 'cause of the little house itself, after all my new apartment will be bigger
but the front yard and the surroundings of it is what i will miss... and again, not so much 'cause of myself but 'cause
1. i feed wild bird, by now about 20 mourning doves, a couple of blue jays and a whole family of little urban birds gather around my house every day to be fed
2. i feed 2 skunks that come every night for cat left over food
3. i have planted 3 beautiful plants around my house, i know when i leave, NOBODY will water them... my neighbors don't water their own plants and my landlord doesn't live there...
so i hate to think that all the birds won't find food anymore, there's a mourning dove with a broken leg that is the one i worry about the most... and i hate to think that the plant that i watered for 4 years will dry...
i feel somehow guilty too, to keep the cats indoors when they are used to stroll around every night
i wish i had money to rent a house with a little yard and 1 bedroom... but i don't, and i had to make my choices...
again i am excited about the new place, for the inside of it... but i feel awful for abandoning so much unprotected nature around
@Beto, thanks dear Ground Control, i will take photos and post eventually of the new coming decorations :)
@herr Thilo, hope you come on out to see the new place!
@Diatton, thank you so much for your kind words of support, i will get over the past and start enjoying the future!
Hallo Bere!
Luck! Hopefully it will work out better than before and los gatos will adjust ok.
Hey, we'll almost be neighbors, I think. I'm moving also... going to share a 2 bedroom apt with another Missourian in North Park, not far from Birch Theater. Would miss not being within walking distance of the bay, but the rent will be much more manageable!
Hope things go smoothly your way! :o)
Smorgy
hey mister Smorg
thank you!! and good luck to you too! North Park is a very cool neighborhood, i think you'll like it! my best friend used to live in Kansas, close to Clair de Lune, and i always visited since i used to live in Hillcrest but it became too hectic
also i think you'll like Normal Heights, so once i am settled, and you too, I'll make a point to invite you to visit around my neighborhood
good luck with your moving too!
hey, i know you had a cat, was your kitty indoors? or outdoors? any advice on how to settle these guys (my cats) into not roaming around??
Bonjour Berenice,
You seem so sorry to leave.....At least this is sure, the birds will follow, they know where their friends are.
As to cats living indoors, I once heard or read they adjust easily. Well, nobody ever interviewed a cat what it thinks about this. But unfortunately, that's life, we have to adjust, too. Nicht alle Blütenträume reifen. Muddle through.
