E and M came back today with a friend. I helped them take the bars out of the kitchen window so they could extract their sofas which won't fit through the front door. Then I helped them lever the sofas up over the kitchen sink, out te window, and down onto the cement in front of the house.

As they were finally driving away, the woman renting across the street came rushing out begging for the keys. So I guess I know who really wants to move in. Huh.

I want the house too, but it really is too much for one person. As I was walking to the internet café I passed by another place with two apartments for rent, one with only one bedroom, another with two. Two hundred dollars and three hundred dollars. I only looked at the little one. It has a kitchen space but it is very very little. Still, what do I need a lot of space for? Nothing. The thing about the bigger one is it is upstairs and maybe (I am not sure) maybe has a balcony porch where I could sit and feel the evening air. Mosquitos!

So maybe I will move anyway. I have been feeling for months that a change is in the wind for me, but I am really not sure what it is. Too much of everything I think. Too much of everything.

My real goal is to move south. Travel far, far south into deep Mexico. That is what I want. That is what I should focus on. That is what I should work toward, save toward. Not spend money on moving, save it for the trip.

The obvious time would be after the Hermosillo writing congress the first weekend in June.
