On life just now...

Clear your mind, just be real shallow.

Alright, here is the thing, I am struggling a bit with my other writing and I haven’t written a real update about my life in the city in a while. So, that’s what I am going to do now, for whomever it might interest.

I still share generous landlady’s Ulrika’s one room apartment. It has been very good indeed. I thought it would much worse, and that we would nothing but quarrel. We haven’t had any serious quarrels, but I don’t know how much of that I should credit to not speaking about certain matters.
Even though it has been lovely to stay I think that the close proximity is taking its toll in a somewhat subconscious manner. I sense that I tense up, since I feel constantly monitored and I am quite sure she does too. It’s not that we don’t like each other, just that one needs privacy.

However it’s only a matter of another week I would hope, since I now have my own apartment, a tiny tiny place on something called Cherry Road. It will not be large, but I hope that well furnished and lived in it will at least be mine.
I am looking forward to some kind of refuge there a place were I can rest and reach out from. Where I can schedule my own time and making things work for me.
I long to invite people to my place and drink tea and ramble, I long for winter there, smells of saffron and cinnamon. Christmas cards, decorations, laughter.

I am going there to look at it tomorrow. And moving all my stuff on Wednesday, I hope I have calculated everything right so my things will fit.
Babylon proved to be kind in the end so I am hoping to meet a new PA soon too. In a broad sense all is fine. I am happy about what I have managed to make in the short time I have been here. It has just been a little more than three weeks, so a lot has happened even though I haven’t thought about that so much.

There has been a refuge for me. An apartment with more than one room, where one can eat meat, and were a deep blue sofa, like my Sistah has, will swallow you. The newlyweds Mrs and mrs Krieg have taken me in, and I am so, so happy and grateful for that.

I look forward to make art in this city. I am writing, but I am always doing that, I long to work on my words and that shared reality with above mentioned mrs Krieg. I am thinking it will be fabulous more than fabulous; it will be strong, vibrant, and glorious. Once we get started…

So that’s it. I have cleared my mind. I have other posts planned for this blog soon but I need more time, and some kind of solitude again.

Love people, bless your hearts.
