The next time you hear me say I’m thinking about moving again, I’m going to need you to punch me in the face and then kick me in both of my shins. Because even that will be better than the pain of transporting a queen sized ultra deluxe pillow top mattress down a flight of stairs, into a Uhaul and maneuvering it out again into a small one bedroom.

Unless Santa Clara University decides to offer my landlord a bounty of cash for that small piece of land in order to develop more student housing, I do believe I will be living in this duplex for many years to come.
