There is grass here. And trees.
We flew in yesterday morning around 10, and today we found an apartment. Can’t move for another two weeks or so, though, so we’re still kind of homeless and kind of living out of suitcases. It’s a little chaotic and I had the feeling, for a week before we left I felt like I’d be a wreck. Yesterday we drove all over downtown, in and out of bars and cafes, trolling craigslist and the newspapers, everything I own in the trunk of a car that’s not even ours. And all I am is relieved. To be out of New York, away from my family, the crowds, the shitty, cramped, overpriced apartment…
There will be things I’ll miss, eventually. But right now I can’t think of any.
