Let’s cut right to it…moving is one of the biggest pains in the ass any human can endure. And by some stroke of severely unfortunate luck, I’ve been doing it pretty much yearly since 2002 (yay Freshman year of college).

I’m about halfway through the process of moving from my mediocre apartment in Cap Hill to a pretty nice apartment (sans the horrific carpet) in LoDo/Five Points. And the hatred for this song and dance never lessens. It either remains the same or increases. I’d wager “increases” for this one for no other reason than the absolutely asinine parking situation in Cap Hill.

It took over a year of living her to finally do it, but I did my first mountain hike today. We went to Roosevelt National Forest and hiked the trail (kind of) to Mitchell Lake. It went another 2 miles further west to Blue Lake (which we were told by people who made it up there that it was still completely frozen over) but we didn’t make it that far due to time constraints and exhaustion.
