Crafty.
I have decided on how to paint the fabric “door” of my armoire. Ah, bedrooms without closets. But since most bedrooms do have closets, a cheap armoire which I can decorate to my heart’s delight is cheaper than an expensive one. More fun, more tacky, but mostly cheaper. And I get to paint stuff.
I’m saving money on rent and utilities, sure, but it’s more than made up for by all the moving costs.
Still, from what I’ve heard the people upstairs are being worse than usual, and I am quite looking forward to parking on the street in front of the house (which they have claimed as their spots, though it’s public on-street parking). It’s the best revenge I can think of that’s not illegal or makes me feel icky.
And then I’ll be gone and they’ll likely be kicked out for violating their lease and hopefully this new place will work, after a stretch of wishing and kvetching.
