after 7 full months of uncertaintly and turmoil...i think my life might be working its way back on track.
tonight my new roommates and i will sign a one year lease to live in the sunset neighborhood of san francisco. it's a great apartment. one block from golden gate park. two miles to the pacific ocean. one block from the library. six blocks to a ton of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores at 9th and irving. the apartment has a backyard, two bathrooms, big windows, high ceilings. AND they allow dogs.
so, although many things are completely up in the air...at least i have an official place to call home again...starting march 1st.
*huge sigh of relief*
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!! So happy to hear the news and to read the relief and joy in your words.
I love that part of SF. The ocean and the park - you cannot beat that!! Cannot wait to see you there. xo, Rachel
Meghan,
My husband's daughter lives about 20 minutes from Sunset, in North Beach. She says you'll be happy there, that it's much quieter than where she is, so beautiful and peaceful. Happy new home!
Yippee! Great area!
I'll be in SF pretty much once a month over the next few months. Definitely March 24 - 26 with other dates TBD.
You should have gotten an email from my friend Spencer recently. She's awesome and in the SW/Psych field herself in SF. I hope you two can connect at some point.
So glad things seem to be coming together, Meggins!
