New Digs

So here we are, a week out of total chaos. Things are settling down, less and less boxes around me every day. Beautiful mornings spent journal writing in the aptly named sun room. Awake at 6 every morning due to sunshine pouring over my face. Time spent on the comfy new couch laughing at nothing and watching the silly cat that eats potato chips. Morning walks to the village to get coffee, or over to the farmers market to get yummy food. Going piss is great, a sky light and surrounded by plants, who could ask for more when you are sitting on the toliet. So much room I am not really sure what to do with it all. Though I think I have done a pretty good job at filling it so far. So much light for a place with no windows (though it does come with it's fair share of skylights, just about every where). Showers are best taken in mid afternoon, when the sun shines through the glass blocks in the wall. Sitting in the den you can almost see all the way to downtown, lots of tiny lights at night. Sunsets from the deck are something eles. Kitchen is big, with very little cupboard space, but hey that is what the pantry room is for. Oh yeah...the 4 minute walk to work ain't half bad either.
So far the only thing I don't like is the large amount of enormous spiders that apear to live here with me. Good thing my cats like to chase and eat them.
Spent the whole weekend with the couz, doing nothing and yet acomplishing a hell of alot. Books are all out (found another mom journal). Living room is livable, kitchen is up and running, den is comfy and usefull. You can also now move around the dining room.
Living here is good. An apartment of my dreams really...

Thanks for not going into too much detail about our intrepid spider encounter. That spider would be laughing its ass off if it weren't swimming in the ocean with all the rest of Victoria's untreated sewage.

New place sounds glorious and you sound very happy . . . which is a wonderful and beautiful thing. I can't wait to check out (fully antihistamined) the new paradise!

I am a little intrigued by chris's comments about the spider though . . . does he not realize that by now props people all over the planet are beginning to concoct incredibly complex and fabulous stories about the Encounter Between Chris and the Laughing Spider . . . one of you may want to clarify before any permanent damage is done.

I have a funny feeling that your mom's journals are going to be rather like Phantom chandelier beads . . . just when you think that last of them has finally been discovered . . . another pops up in some unexpected and impossible place.

much love to your sunny self
