Bits of Settling

Last night I hit my head. There were stars and birds and shit flying around my head while my eyes crossed and then faded into slow, circling spirals. I was pretty sure death was eminent, and I cried and cried and cried while typing a last love note to Rob on the notepad application of my iPhone. Romantic, right?

I put peas on my head, Nicole came over so I wouldn’t be alone, and all was well eventually.

The local independent book store has a resident bunny, a resident elderly dog that sleeps in the doorway, and a pond in the back. It used to have a resident iguana, but he died. The local pet shop has a resident gray kitten, who likes to climb up the cat tree things and, from there, climb onto customers’ shoulders and help them shop.

Our grass is growing! We’ll have a lovely lawn in a few weeks.

Moving isn’t done yet. There’s still a bunch of stuff that needs to go to the basement in Connecticut, where it will sit until we figure out what to do with it, which means eventually selling it or throwing it out. I miss being settled into one place. I’m really loving this neighborhood, though; I like being able to walk around and shop without having to get into a car or get on a subway. It feels luxurious.

Photos are coming soon of the new place; I need to figure out where to put all of my art, which is normally the fun part, but feels overwhelming right now.

After a hiatus, I’m back to working on Hey Brooklyn and there will be a new episode this Friday. Woohoo!
