As I said yesterday, I got myself a new apartment. Froggy asked about the map I posted with an arrow pointing to Astoria (my new neighborhood). No, I did not make that map, but I did make the one above showing my new place, old place, and my job.
In my current apartment, it takes me about a half-hour to get to work (door-to-door). I would imagine my new commute would be about an hour door-to-door. So it's really not too bad. The subway stop at my new apartment is only 3 stops away from Manhattan.
As far as moving goes, yes Miss Ginger, since I suffer from a lack of an automobile (and free Lesbian labor), I'll have to hire some sort of mover. As far as Oscar and Dusty, they will be transported via taxi - I don't want to have to subject them to the subway.
