Living in a closet, part deaux

It was decided I would move my bed and stuff into our storage garage until the time came for finding a place that would suit us. I would sleep on the floor in the office if need be. We had been looking that Sunday morning for a place to rent. My co-worker and friend had been looking on a website for military people. The Coast Guard station has a two year personnel required turnover and many people choose to rent to them on this website. It wasn't long until a phone call placed to a condo owner looked promising. The owners were looking for renters and would show it to us today. We went and after a very brief meeting found a great place. A one bedroom with a loft that over looks Auke Bay. We would share it and then, when his family came down, they would look for a house to rent and I would share it with my soon to be here wife. They gave us the key and said we could move in today! No storage for my bed! I made my way back to the quiet (at least during the day) apartment and quickly spirited my stuff out in the cover of daylight. Just when something can seem really bad, it turns really good. Some will call this luck, but I know differently. The night was quiet. Every night is quiet. Most of the people living in the condo keep to themselves. I have noticed this a lot since I have been here. People are friendly but they are also private. The closet is now a memory, a lesson learned.
