Home Away from Home

Another new beginning... my first night in my new apartment! Unpacking tonight made me feel extremely grateful for this place, this chance, this year. It's a shotgun style place with high ceilings and exposed brick over the closed-off fireplaces. There are 19 less beds then in the last house, so it automatically feels less lonely, less like others are missing. It's furnished but without a TV and I'm looking forward to the reflection time that will inevitably allow.

Many thanks to Max for bailing me out and helping me move, packing my entire car, while I rested. (I'm fighting off some kind of cold/flu right now.) Thankfully we're not working Saturday, so I'll have a true weekend to recuperate.

As I look around this new home of mine, I ponder what the memories of the next 11 or so months might entail...
