It's a Sunday today and I hear church bells ringing outside our window. I've been here for six months and that's the first time I've noticed them. I went on a walk the other day in a direction I've never gone before and discovered we live close to an outdoor fruit/vegetable/flower market. It's wonderful. My roommate took me on a drive yesterday and showed me a lake I've never seen. It's about two miles from our house.
Why, when I'm about to leave, do I suddenly discover all of the good things about this place?
Anyway, I have a week left in this house. Maybe I'll go on a walk today and buy some flowers. Or an orange. Or a watermelon. Can't you see me walking down the street with an enormous watermelon in my arms? Or perhaps I'll bring a basket, fill it up with fruit, and balance it on my head. I think that's what I'll do.
Anyway x2, it's not like we'll be moving that far. We'll be in the same city, just a different part of town.
Also, Bobby is looking to buy a condo. He's going to talk to someone about it today. We want to get a cat. WE ARE SO TOTALLY GROWN-UPS NOW.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night because there were sirens, several of them going off at once, and I felt like I was going to cry. I was so worried that there was a huge fire, that someone was going to die...the older I get, the more sensitive I'm becoming. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite, you harden up after awhile. But maybe that's still to come.
And the church bells have stopped.
