Entry 001 - The real start of this diary.
Monday, June 17th, 2024 01:32 am I'm Kai, and probably you already know a few things about me. This time, we are going to see the events that lead to this diary.
This story begins few months ago.
I lived in a big city with my girlfriend Godzilla(she/her), when she got a job offer in a small town. She have relative living near this place so it wasn't a problem to move there for a couple of months and then come back. Meanwhile, I stayed in my city, kept doing my job as a private teacher of music theory and guitar. I liked that job, it was what I wanted in my life, even if students can be irritating when they don't study at all. Anyway. During the first couple months Godzilla and I talked through the phone, via messages and she came to visit me once. She loved the job but she never had some free time for herself. Another two months later and she think she doesn't really want to quit the job so we talked and I decided that I could consider moving there too.
This wasn't an easy decision to make, for me. I loved my city, have friends there, all my stuff, an exaggerated amount of instruments (mostly guitars), plus the job I liked but that lately wasn't paying as much as I wanted and needed. Destiny, fate, randomness, or the flying spaghetti monster, decided it was time for Kai to change their life thought, as a position in the same Godzilla's job opened and I made the call.
This was roughly three weeks ago from the time I'm writing this. I had to take the train to visit the office for an interview. Which, with my huge surprise, I nailed (people rarely calm me back when I send my curricula). Then was decision time once again. Where am I going to stay now?
Godzilla family offered a place to stay for a month, but no cat and dog allowed, so I had to hire a sitter or ask my family for help. I couldn't actually spend so much money on a sitter, plus trusting a stranger with the keys of my house while I'm not around wasn't something I was comfortable with. I so decided to ask my family and received a positive answer. I have a very supportive family, most of them. The problem now was that I had to separate dog and cat from each other and from me. Too much separations for their taste. Plus I didn't trust my sister with the key of my humble, but full of stuff I care about, house. I won't explain the reasons of the lack of trust, let's just say she insisted to much to have my key and made some strange comments about respect for other people things and whatnot. Good thing she is not really bright.
It was time for a plan B (actually C). I needed a new home sooner then expected! And that was a struggle! My nerves were shattering like glass every time I tried to find a decent and affordable house, apartment, room or whatever place where I could go a live. Plus it had to be reasonably close to the new job!
Again destiny, fate, or the invisible pink unicorn decided that I was on the right path, because no matter whatever misfortune I experienced during those days (quite a lot), I never gave up, I kept going on trough tears and rage and finally... The sun started to shine!
Godzilla's family friends had an empty house we could rent for cheap. Not a tiny apartment, a big house with huge rooms, a separated garage, a garden and even a room to make my studio too. I wasn't going to use the studio for work anymore, but it is nice to have a place where to focus on my music... and videogames.
Of course I was still stressed out, because while I found a solution for all my problems, more problems arises to press on my nerves.
But let's just say that moving from the big city, here in the countryside, worked pretty well despise my worries.
As of today, we already started to live here, cleaned most of the space, planted a few veggies (not an expert) and I'm happily waiting to start my new job.
Did I write too much? Do you want more? Gotta wait a couple days for more of this story, cause we are both living it real time!
Just kidding, no one is reading this, but it's fun to write.
Kai out, ni ni folks!
