New quilt, ESB, a picture I like

Slow

Adjusting to living in a completely different place takes a long time. I've been in my own apartment for a little more than a month; we have one room (the kitchen) left to paint; we now have a table to eat at and chairs to sit on; I hung one of my little quilts on the wall. Slowly, slowly, I am making a home.

This weekend will be the first Toronto shenanigans in New York since I've lived here. (Well, first with the notable exception of Jelena, who visited LL early in January.) A whole pile of folks (Enoch, Megarrah, David, KARL) are going to be in town all at once. And someone in particular will be making her way to the city on Saturday: I'm going to Toronto tonight so I can escort her. It's all going to be very good.

I've carved a nice walk into my morning commute, here are some pics from today.

Updates from the Great City

Everybody! My apartment situation has resolved itself extraordinarily well, at least until August. Thank God (literally). Also, I am about to book a plane ticket to Toronto to go get LCdB and bring her to her new and rightful home. I hope I get through customs ok.

In celebration of more settled situations, I present you some pics from around my new home. I set up my sewing machine, too.

Neighborhoods, new and old

Everybody everybody: I got an apartment! Starting New Year's Day, I'm going to live in Morningside Heights. Here are some pictures of my new neighborhood, starting with my street.









And here are some of where I'm living now.

I live here now

It doesn't make any sense. But it's just right. We heard the Rockefeller Center tree being lit tonight, but couldn't negotiate walking there (too many police barriers). We heard the countdown and the cheers though. Top pic is LL's street, bottom is the entrance to her work.

Tomorrow I sign some papers and then I will officially work for a church!!
