I found a place to move into next August! Way in advance, I know. But I'm excited, primarily because I'll have my own private roof-made-into-a-deck to go out on. And the windows are facing south and west, which might mean my plants will survive! Or not, I might still kill them. It's certainly not beautiful on the inside, but I can cover the fake wood with tapestries. The neighbor even has a dog that will bark a welcome to me every time I open the door. So that will feel like home. Plus, it's right across the street from a co-op, and only a couple blocks from Trader Joe's.
Anyway, that's about as much exciting news as you can expect at this point.
