So in my parallel universe I can relate. We recently moved about four miles from the neighborhoods of my last four residences and 35 years of my life. It’s the same area but I went from 1/4-1/2 acre suburban ranch style to semi-urban three story condominium. Add that nothing is setup, the wife and I are used to being together but we did this for our last two daughters for their high school years. Vertical space is not the same as horizontal space.
I’m laughing because now I feel all your pain of your move and your frustrations at the upheaval... laugh I say!!!! Laugh at me now.... thanks for reminding me, that all of us, regardless of location, politics, economic system and/or economic situation are experiencing similar life as we all seem to forget....
Laugh some more.... it’s free, no cost, as I climb these effing stairs, I’m doing a days cardio every freaking hour.....
