Meanwhile, in a new home
On moving, nostalgia, current projects, and what's been on my mind lately
Good morning Friend,
It is cloudy today and I am very sleepy. For the past two days, it has been sunny and I’ve taken advantage of that. You see, I have recently moved to a new apartment. I have been living here for eleven days now (plus two or three chaotic moving and unpacking days before I visited home for the holidays). This place has some serious windows. Seven windows in just one room. Two of those are stained glass. There are twenty-one windows in total throughout the apartment (two of them are small and in closets). The sun moves through this house throughout the day and I follow it.
Let me try to give you an idea of what it’s like. This building is old. One hundred and one years old now. The floors creak like the floors of my childhood home. It is full of wood. The doors are solid with old door knobs that require skeleton keys. It’s heated by radiators that have covers that are lovely to sit on when I get cold. I have felt for the last two or three years that I have too many plants, but in this space, I think I could use quite a few more.
