I
Moved in With My Mom…Without Her.
October 1, 2013
It has officially been 2 months since I moved out of my
house, in with a friend and now into my mom’s apartment. It has been a bit of a
whirlwind to say the least, since moving out of my house I had to put my stuff
into storage, as I wasn’t able to find a suitable home to buy. I have been
looking and looking but haven’t seen anything that comes remotely close to what
I am looking for.
I initially moved in with a girlfriend as I thought it
wouldn’t be a difficult thing to buy a new home. Boy was I wrong, I decided
halfway through my month of living with her that this might be a bigger
challenge than I initially thought. In the meantime, I have been taking care of
my mom and she unfortunately had to move out of her apartment as she was
admitted to the hospital. She has been in there for quite some time and it
doesn’t look like she will be leaving any time soon. After talking with her,
she is the one who suggested that I move into her apartment to take care of it
and get things organized. After giving it some thought, I decided that it was a
good idea and I would still be close to her.
So here I was 15 days after I had moved in with my
girlfriend, I was packing myself back up to move down the street into my mom’s
place. I still had another 15 days to move all of my stuff so I made a lot of
trips and started to get things organized for my move into my mom’s place.
After talking with my mom, I decided that she was more excited for me to move
into her place than I was. LOL.
I’ve been here for about a week and my mom was right,
this was the best thing for me as I continue to look for a new house to buy and
get her stuff organized for if/when she comes home. I can’t believe how much
crap of my sister’s is hidden in this 700 square foot apartment. I have since
done a purge of my mom’s closet and delivered a lot of my sister’s crap to her
as well as made some runs to Goodwill. The place is coming together quite
nicely and I have to say I am enjoying being here. I make a list of things I
have gone through, that my mom needs to make the decision on and when I go see
her at the hospital, she decides yay or nay. She laughs at my findings as she
thought she threw it out or she lost it. Most things are to give away or for
family; I will continue to plug away at getting this place in order and in the
meantime, I am enjoying my alone time. It has taken a bit of time to get use to
living in an apartment again, I haven’t shared walls with anyone since I was 19
but it will do for now and I will continue to look for a new house. Fingers
crossed I can find something.
