Let me tell you the story of how I ended up in this apartment. The lease for my previous apartment ended mid August. At that time, I thought I was going to be moving to NYC, so I was looking for apartments in NYC, but I needed some place to stay in the meantime. It just so happened that my good friend Georgina had just moved into her new two-bedroom apartment in Philly and was still looking for a long-term roomie (she had an unfortunate situation in which her initial roomie backed out the night before they were supposed to sign the lease together). Until Georgina found someone, she offered her place for me to crash. It was supposed to be a short-term solution, but one month turned into another, I still hadn’t found an apartment, and she still hadn’t found a roomie. Then I decided I would stay in Philly for the next chapter of my life, and everything fell into place. I officially signed the lease at the very end of October and couldn’t wait to move in properly. It took us a long time to get here, but it was all worth it in the end, because we couldn’t have a more ideal housing situation. I feel so lucky that during this transitional period in my life, I get to live with one of my best friends from college.

I’m finishing up this blog post early morning of December 1, i.e. the same morning it publishes. I occasionally get into these manic moments whilst blogging and I kinda just let myself fall into them because I haven’t been blogging as much as I would like. So I’m having at it.

I’ve had a brilliant early morning thought (that might not feel so brilliant when my delirium wanes) to do a sort of Blogmas, in which I blog daily until Christmas. It’ll be a mixture of daily updates and other types of content like cafe reviews, book reviews, and Friday Favourites. I’m hoping to get a week’s worth of posts prepped this weekend so that my content creation schedule can be more flexible the rest of the month, and so that I still have time to, ya know, live my life.

I’m still brainstorming blog posts, so if there’s anything you’d like to see more of (or less of), drop it down in the comments (you can comment anonymously too)! Any questions? Topics? Doesn’t necessarily have to be festive. Or could be!
