Turn left to face north, and you'll see these curtains covering a floor-to-ceiling window. The light in this place is divine.
Do an about face to the south, and you'll enjoy a view of the mantel.
We are toying with placing the TV in the fireplace, but for now...it's just a jumbly mess.
Little Miss Octavia is settling in more quickly than expected...though she is an now a hybrid outdoor/indoor kitty, we'll keep her inside for a week and then she can start to explore outside. She's been rather frisky because she usually exerts quite a bit of energy outside...but she's literally a caged cat. Well, not literally. But kind of.
A lovely kitchen scape, one to replace my favorite part of the trailer.
And the other kitchen windows.
I guess they'll do.

The view of the light cascading onto the bed (and unpacked shiz)
from my bedroom. It has another (two) window(s).

Here's an example of what happens when a girl packs way too late at night...after working 8 hours...when that girl is unaccustomed to the energy necessary to work again. She forgets how to spell some of her favorite things, and then proceeds to use proper proofreading symbols to correct it. On the box.
Sidenote: Don't you think jewels and letters make such a dreamy combination?
Well, this week I am only working a few days...so I'll be unpacking, sitting in this cafe until our internet gets installed, and soaking up the last week of leisure before it's back to work full time next week.
I'll be keeping you posted on the house and the state of my soul as I attempt to put into practice all my self-care tools without the free time to spare. I think it's entirely possible, but I admit that I am daily swimming in a pool of fear...
And it may be all the surprising and shocking transitions of 2010
(learning that anything can happen at a moment's notice)
but I feel as if I am standing over a trap door, gasping for one more breath with every inhale,
as if it will be my last chance before I plunge into an abyss
and the floor falls out under me.
It's a dread...something making me feel like another transition (good or bad) is just around the corner.
That good news will be reneged.
That bad news will reoccur.
I am grabbing blindly for anything to hold that won't come crashing down with me.
Call it paranoia, call it portent,
or call it self-fulfilling prophesy,
I am just noticing a continual need to remind myself to
breath, stare at light, and get plenty of rest.
Plus,
Milk Duds.
The end.
