Philly: Aug 14

I have moved. Still in Fishtown though. Closer to Murph's!
I am now living in the basement of the house of the mother of the girl who owned the house I used to live in... you still with me? There are 8 other people in the house? I lose track after about 6. But they're all terribly sweet and accomodating.

Especially Josh, the 10-year-old. He helped me move stuff out of the basement and move my stuff in. He was too cute as he tried to carry four plastic chairs up the stairs, one step at a time. I didn't want to take them from him and immasculate him, so I tried not to laugh outloud as I sat back and watched. I'm of the belief that the only way to make a kid strong and confident is to let them struggle. At least that way they can be proud of their accomplishments.

I managed to complete the move (with some help) in about 3 hours. I would have taken longer (2 days?) but the gas was shut off prematurely in the house I was in so I moved 3 weeks earlier than I expected. So not ready for this! But I think it will work out rather well. It's a work-in-progress.
