Unexpected

My brother and his wife just announced they are expecting their fourth child... I love my family but perhaps it's time to move out so I can better focus on school.

Congratulations to your brother and his wife.

Moving out sounds like a good idea. There are numerous benefits.

They're very excited.

It seems a bit frivolous since there is still plenty of space at home and it's both where I train and work. But moving out would give me more quiet time to study and meditate.

I thought about the dorms but they're a bit far from here. Perhaps a roommate...

As your nieces and nephews grow up they will require more room to work and play. But yes, think of the 2am crying.

I could help you look for places that are renting, if you like.

[sanada_g]

That is true. But they're still family.


I suppose it doesn't hurt to look and see what the options are.

If you would like to let me know which locations you prefer, or any stipulations you have, I can start looking.

Something walkable to a direct line to Rikkai and preferably not too far out from Yukimura and others in Tokyo.

I want a tatami room. And I'd like an open outdoor space. Either a garden or something like that balcony that Yukimura had at his hotel in Paris. I need enough room for meditating and training.

That's why I was thinking a roommate might be good. I could justify getting a bigger place.

You would like an apartment and not a house, correct?

That kind of place would be further out from the city, but I’m sure I could turn up something.

[sanada_g]

An apartment seems more realistic. And a house in the city doesn't ensure any more garden space than an apartment.

Distance doesn't matter so much as long as the train lines are good. I trust you to know my priorities when it comes to where I need to be.

[ever_yanagi]

I have found an apartment that may be suitable. It has three bedrooms, a tatami room, and a sunny balcony. We can go seeit, if you’d like.

[sanada_g]

With that much space, both you and Yukimura could move in with me.

But it doesn't hurt to start seeing something and getting a feel for what I like.

[ever_yanagi]

We can take a look over the weekend, if you’d like.

[sanada_g]

Alright. Send me the details.
