Time to move

So it seems Brett has found us a new roommate. She moved out in October but has been paying rent since she is on the lease. Well, she found us a subletter and now everyone is moving rooms.

Just because she moved out doesn't mean she packed up all her stuff like a normal person would. So first we have to pack up Brett's room - then I am moving into her room and the new guy is moving into my old room.

Now, I know you must be asking yourself "Self, if Casey only has 4 months left on her lease why doesn't she just stay in her room and let the new guy have Brett's room?" Well, that may seem logical but here's the deal, when Brett first talked about moving out I told her I wanted her room because it is the biggest (and I was feeling ready for a change but couldn't actually move out) but because she was still paying rent she thought her stuff should stay where it was...If you could explain the logic to me let me know. And it also meant that when we did find a roommate (now) we would have to pack her stuff...I know! But the good news is that her stuff is going into a storage unit and then I will never have to worry about it again - anything in that unit will be hers and hers alone to take care of! So when it is actually time to move out there will be less stuff I have to deal with.

So now I have the opportunity to have the biggest room, and in the process can do some packing and cleaning of my own so when it really is time to move out I will have a lighter load.

I have lived in the same place for nearly 3 years and have some stuff in my room I haven't touched since I got here.

This isn't the most logical move, but it will get me ready for moving out completely which is a great thing!

Plus - now my portion of the utility bills will be lower!

I am so cool I am ice cold!

So I just found out I get to make 2 trips to Minneapolis this spring; my normal trip in mid-March and a shorter trip in 3 weeks!!! February 1st I have to go to MN for one evening event. It is basically a fly-in fly-out dealio but it is in negative temperatures there right now!!

Weather.com tells me the average high in Minneapolis around February 1st is 26 (the record high is 46) degrees. Good thing I asked for gloves for Christmas. I don't know if I have the rest of the outfit to deal with that weather though. At least I won't be there for a whole week.
