finally.

i can stop looking. i can stop fretting.
i can finish packing & moving (this weekend!)
i can have a new healthy safe happy home.
back in my favorite neighborhood!

i tried hard to make “before” pictures - but interior photography is quite tricky! the space is essentially a garage apartment over a huge 3-car garage, a big airy loft room with a handsome, efficient kitchen, a long lovely bathroom, with a window and no falling-through floor, a big closet and a … garage! i will change those curtains to my own white lace ones. it is like a big empty canvas and it does NOT smell like catpee, as so many places i have looked at in the past couple of months do. the landlords are nice, real people and not creepy property “managers” who will trick me into renting a cavern with a leaky bedroom floor and dolts throwing beer bottles and cigarette butts from their cement balconies. i feel glad!

and it makes *perfect* sense that a person who loves to wander the alleys, capturing garages - should LIVE in a garage in an alley. of course!

i am SO ready to be settled and get back to artMaking, thank you.

click to go - if you like

i suppose it is possible this may become an active journal again, but man, i’m not sure when and how. i am just not into it lately. i *am* into ranting and whining and weighing the pro’s and con’s and if’s and how’s - but that has to stay under lock and key. i am expecting i will never again journal publicly the way i used to. i *would* like to be a little more open, but i am just not feeling it right now. i definitely still want to show art and pictures - and share some of my life - so i guess i will keep this bit of my site up for now, in case there is interest. perhaps when i finally get settled into my “new life” - whatever that will be - there will be more to tell. obviously, i am still in the throes of home/space-finding - although there was a sweet trip to the Tallgrass Prairie with the poet last weekend. that was nice. and tinaMerlot behaved so well!
