Looking to Escape

I’m tired of roommates and excessive commutes. I need to move closer to downtown, 300+ square feet, utilities paid, and some peace. The time is soon, time to rearrange savings.

How I did it
It made me
quiet 
How I did it: I moved into this place with the knowledge that it would soon be a single living situation. I had previously lived in this apartment and was offered the chance to move back in. The roommates were going in separate directions in a lopsided schedule. I was looking for a place of my own, and thus took up the slack. Now it's mine... but it's quiet now. Read how I did it…

Well, I filled out the paper work and gave them a check. It’s not here yet, but I’m going to consider this task done.
Had to take time off work to get to passport oath session, but I had already done 10+ hours of overtime.
EDIT (2 weeks later)
It’s here! Done. GOOD DAY!

What is getting you up in the morning? Do you have anything?
If you don’t your journey will be hard.
If, perhaps like myself, you have a bus to catch at 6 AM everyday: well then, your journey is much easier. You’ll be up at 5 AM to take the long shower and the long breakfast. And you don’t have to be at work exactly at 7:30 AM. Get there at 7 and have a coffee, read, maybe sketch something.
I tell you, if I didn’t have this long wake up I’d go insane.
But then there’s nothing wrong with waking up at noon on the weekends.
