The Heart Moves In

This will probably be one of my last posts in this room.  It has been about six months now since I have been homeless.  A girl owns a hotel and not a home, yet.  Ironic isn't it?

I walked in the new house tonight, turning on all the lights, imagining where all my belongings will go.  It's been so long now since I've last seen them unpacked, I don't know if I can remember everything.

The good thing is the new house will probably allow me to purchase a bit more furniture!  But sadly, I think I will need new curtains.

It's kinda strange, because now I have old furniture that's too good to get rid of, and yet a part of me feels like a change.  Which is hard to do without changing everything.

I look forward to building the new home now.  Something tells me a lot of the building will be solo, with me doing most everything and Tigger just dropping in for the major highlights.

I would have loved a house like this back in the city.  Especially the garden, the way it unfolds and will be lit up at night so I can turn off all the lights inside.

Yes, it will be special and beautiful because I will make it that way.

Tonight the stars are back out again, after a momentary absence.  But they are small pinpricks and do not hang low.  The sky is a real inky black though, with a whisp of cloud just carelessly thrown in the forefront for good measure.

I know I am beginning to bond with the new house.  The dining room and the upstairs will be my favourite places.  The dining room with all its glass.  I just have to fix the lighting issue because it is important to me.  Dinners must be just right.

Although quite frankly, I can't think of anyone on this island I'd really like to have around the table.  With the exception of Richelle's family.  Somehow I like them.

I don't even want the friends I knew prior to moving here to come, really.

But friends from home, I would love.  And I think they would love it too.

I can't wait for Babbitt and Miu to see it.

And of course le famille.

Tigger's family is insane.
