Quirks of moving I forgot about: getting confused, disoriented, and muscle memory breaking down. Got absorbed into a video early on my computer, and got really confused when I heard the blind on the small window behind me clank, because I didn't have a window behind me in the last place
Then I forgot where the door was and almost walked into the wall. Brain tried to autofill the space with what was normal a week ago I suppose
I think part of the reason this is affecting me more than when I moved into the last place is that this time the furniture and layout is very similar, but windows and doors are in different spots. It even looks similar to the last place in my peripheral vision, besides the lower roof. I've even got the same bed and desk just about in the same spots they were relative in the last place
On a more positive note I'm excited about the possibilities of a gigantic floor to ceiling pantry! I could store so much stuff. After unloading what was about a 3 quarter full pantry from the last place into here, it looks like I haven't gone shopping in weeks and barely have anything. I do, however, have a much smaller fridge/freezer. It came with the house (along with the washing machine). I might ask for funding to get a larger or more energy efficient fridge before I turn 18 and it officially becomes my problem. Or failing that I might set up a saved search on guntree until something suitable comes along at the right price. Since I've got one that works, I'm mostly worried about energy efficiency
In the house that I grew up in, for whatever dumb reason the light switch for the main bathroom was on the outside of the door (my brothers and I used to love switching the lights off on my sister while she was in the shower). We sold that house over 10 years ago and I’ve lived in about 6 others since then but to this day whenever I go into a bathroom I instinctively put my hand on the outside door frame to flick on the lights on the non-existent light switch.
