One sheep,
Two sheep,
Three sheep,
Trash Heap.
I sang that nearly 4 years ago to the day. I was supposed to be spending late July / early August transitioning from Boulder to Denver. A pretty big oversight on my part... I only had a copy of my original lease, not the renewal that we had signed. Original ended on 8/31. This one, I come to find out, ended on 8/15. So, the time I had budgeted to look for a place, my best friend and I instead had to go late night dumpster bombing with all the miscellaneous crap you end up with after cruising through 12 people in a 5 bedroom party house over two years.
That's right. 12.
He and I were there for the duration. One stayed the entire first year, a different one the full second year. Essentially, 3 steady rooms and 2 others that passed through quite a bit of chaos. Some days, I really miss that house. Other days I'm infinitely glad I'm not there.
I expect I won't be in my place now much more than a year. San Diego seems to be calling my name. As does New York. Shit, maybe even another country if I could get the right visa. Australia. England. Somewhere.
Tonight, Denver, you're just not doing it for me.
