SAYING GOODBYE

I am so happy to be in my new sunny two-bedroom.

However, I've learned you can't move forward unless you leave a little something behind.

Let me explain:

I walked by my former apartment today and discovered the belongings that I had left behind out on the street with the trash bags.

Sitting in the rain amongst the rusty toaster oven and my leaky 10-gallon fish tank was the mid-century red couch my parents had bought on Lake Street the first year they were married - I left it behind because it was infested with bed bugs.

Seeing my old life on the street made me a little weepy - but in a good way.

Way to much info about the bed bugs. That is nasty to begin with but to share it on your blog for all to read. Not good.

Honey, that's life - and bed bugs are a major epidemic in NYC - even my friend in a $1.5 million dollar apartment has them.
