On the Move, Again

End of June, we move out of Stonepile for summer tenants. End of July we move out of Congdon Street and leave a very small-minded landlady behind. Move to Thayer Street, to an apartment that had every window sealed closed, was unclean and unpainted. Painted the upstairs and opened the windows; it is far nicer than it was, but why are we doing this for someone else's benefit? During a heat wave? Is there karma? Our old landlady stole half our deposit, even while saying we left the place cleaner than any tenant ever had before. Asshole. Now end of tenancy at Stonepile. We will go there tomorrow. All this moving. It is a good thing, but it will be nice to settle down somewhere. We are well into our 50s and living like college students. On the other hand, it is young and fun. "More funner," as someone I know would say. I worry about squandering our scarce resources.
