I took Nita&#8217;s recommendation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rentberger.com\/bergerLocations\/index.asp?propertyID=2004\">Highland Manor Apartments<\/a> in North Coventry, where she lived several years ago. The price was right (I&#8217;m able to keep all living expenses &#8211; rent, internet, electric, basic food to less than half of my total net income), the location was desirable (nice area, less than 5 minutes from route 422), and for a one bedroom, the 725 square feet of room really is perfect &#8211; enough for me to live and work in, not too much so that I&#8217;ll get oppressively lonely.<\/p>\n<p>Lonely&#8230; I&#8217;ve never lived alone before. Caligula came with me (Simcoe is staying with Michael, assuming they can handle the separation without too much drama), and I think that will help a lot. But I don&#8217;t think this will be easy to adjust to. It&#8217;s important though, I need to be alone for a while, no roommates or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping internet will be put in this week, dealing with Comcast right now to get a solid date for installation (they said they&#8217;d contact me before 11:30 tomorrow to give me a status update on the order, said there are some issues, grumble). I&#8217;ll be commuting to the house until it&#8217;s installed, and then will be taking a few days off from work to relax and adjust. So I&#8217;ll have a few evenings without internet (and right now I&#8217;m having a weekend without internet &#8211; am at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slyfoxbeer.com\/\">Sly Fox<\/a> on their free WiFi writing this&#8230;), but it should be good for me, will force me into getting my apartment in order since I&#8217;ll have nothing better to do. Oh, and spending some time with just myself is probably healthy right now too. My Inbox is a mess, I&#8217;m going to ignore it for now, will catch up when I&#8217;ve got things sorted out.<\/p>\n<p>I had a cold earlier this week, and I don&#8217;t think I let it recover enough before exhausting myself with moving yesterday. I don&#8217;t feel well today and had to cancel going to a concert with my friend Mike all the way in Jersey this evening. So I think I&#8217;m going to leave the &#8216;Fox soon and go chill out with Caligula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mentioned in my last post, I moved into an apartment this weekend.
