SML and I will be visiting Boston this week in what I imagine to be a very cold and whiny time for me. I haven’t written on this blog how I feel about moving because I thought I’d wait until I actually go to Boston before I start complaining. The idea, however, of moving outside of Utah has completely romanticized my daily life. When the president of the Mormon church dedicated the renovated State Capitol? Wait. That still bugs me. A better example, maybe, is that my rent is going up and I was asked to APPLY to live here. When I was notified of this change my temperament was unnaturally neutral because I knew it wasn’t long term. And because the rent in Boston will probably climb 100% or more, the amount of rent that I’m being asked to pay now is soothing. Like a seaweed wrap. When I showed the increase to SML we discussed our options of whether or not to sign a new lease, or at an even higher rate, sign a month-to-month contract. It took us about a week to figure this out, discussing the pros and cons of of a lease and estimating the time we’d actually leave the state. Eventually we agreed that it would be less expensive to move in with SML’s parents. Minus my funeral costs, of course.
