I've officially moved into my new place. It's so different and feels so normal. Like.. there's just (sharp) knives out in an unlocked area, that's not something I've experienced (save for maybe hotels and such) in about 5 years

It's so bittersweet, obviously it's more bitter than sweet at the moment and I'm a bit of a mess. But there's a lot to like about this house, and the freedoms that come with living here. I think the best part is just that the people I'm living with all seem respectful, and that's already leaps and bounds ahead of how things have been in my last place over the last few years

Woohoo! Can't imagine making a big house move with gastro. You're a trooper!

Yeah that part wasn't very fun, but I luckily didn't have to go grocery shopping today, and there were a few other people helping me out

Gastro and moving are stressful enough individually, let alone together… hope you settle in well and enjoy your new surroundings

Great to hear it’s good so far. Hope you settle in well and can start to feel like its your home.

At least the moving day is over, and good news on the other people living there. It takes time for somewhere to feel like home, hopefully as you make the space your own it will start to feel cozier.
