new home

It has been a long rough summer.  Over all it was good, but there were parts that genuinely sucked at a level I have not seen in a long time.  The part that the ex broke up with me, that sucked.  The part that my son was clear across the country, that sucked too.  Oh yeah, and that lightening speed algebra class, that wasn't the highlight either.  Over all though, it was a good experience.  I learned that I have some amazing friends who will pull together for me if needed.  I learned to ask for help.  That was a skill that I cannot understand why I did ever explore that lesson sooner, it would have made things so much easier in the past.

At this very moment, it feels like all is just how it should be.  I can't say that any of it was easy, it was far from easy, but I clearly am on the other side of the rough waters. Over all, I'm very happy to have had this summer to learn from and my past relationship for the same.  I gained a lot from him.

The house is starting to feel like home too.  The grass in the front has turned a lovely shade of dark green and there is a giant tree in front that shades the house in the evening.  The front porch is a lovely spot to sit and watch the people going to the med center down the street on their bicycles with their lab coats flapping gently behind them.  The people walking by with their dogs and the kids whizzing by as fast as they can on their bicycles and skateboards.  I love living in the city.

So the first view from the door upon the entrance is a bright array of colors, kinda like shabby chic with a retro twist in vibrant Technicolor.  My couch is a pale pink L-shape that is nestled in the corner against the front wall of the house.  I laid a pretty and brightly colored sheet with a large floral print in pink, yellow, blue and green across the seat cushions which is paired with my black and chrome Barcelona Chair.  There is a large archway that divides the living room and dining room, and hidden behind it is my desk with it's modern look and fancy white polypropylene and chrome chair with  the same funky green glass lamp that adorns a table a black side table in the living room.  The focal point in this room is the table with a bright blue table cloth and it's two toned green chairs.  Atop the table is a vase that is very Cath Kidston.  Just beyond it is a built in china hutch that stows brightly colored green yellow and blue dishes with some other random things.  The kitchen is next, it is white with black granite counter tops.  There is also a chrome shelf that I used for storage and the microwave.  Both bedrooms have their own flair too.  Mine has basically the same color palate as the rest of the house, the dude's has primary colors instead of the pastel switch up.  Over all, it feels like home.  I'm so ready to enjoy it  :)
