Good morning New York. I just woke up for the first time in my new apartment – I’m finally home. Yesterday, my family and I went through quite the production to pack up our SUV and rental van with all of my furniture and bins for my new place. We finally made it up to the city at around 3, and then went through the entire production again as we unloaded – it’s not so easy carrying a heavy dresser through the streets of Manhattan.
After my family left, I had my moment of “Oh Jesus, I’m really on my own now.” A few tears came, I played Taylor Swift’s “Never Grow Up” – it seemed fitting, and then got excited. I am in New York to stay, and I plan to own this city.
My roommate will not be returning to our pad for a few days, and so last night was my first night in my new apartment completely alone. Since I was exhausted from my move, I stayed on the couch and watched movies and some fun TV. I watched the end of Garden State – I thought it was a sign, and I kept up with the Kardashians for a while. I wasn’t sure how well I was going to do sleep-wise since I once spent the night alone in my apartment in Columbus, and I was convinced a stranger was outside my door (I was *this close* to grabbing the bat under my bed and running out swinging). However, I had the best night of sleep in my own place. I left my door opened since the heat in my room heats the entire apartment, but I think because my new home is smaller and cozier, I knew no bad strangers were in my house.
Unfortunately the weather is not my friend today. The rain will stop at around 1, so my Central Park run will be postponed till afternoon – I get to run for the first time in the park. Hooray! Exploring may have to wait until tomorrow after work, but I’m here now, and all I have is time.
