Luke and I signed our lease today. I couldn't be happier.  We're a few blocks away from John Jay Park, and just a little bit farther from Central Park.  It's all horribly exciting.  I just wish they'd have let us keep the furniture the last tenant abandoned.  It was really nice.  We move in in a few weeks.  It's a lot bigger than the pictures suggest.

I'm heading back to the city tomorrow and it couldn't come sooner. My sister and mother are fighting again, this time about my sister's hamster, Savage, that has been thrust upon Ma for the past 4 months.  Mom's very unhappy because Annie was apparently supposed to pick up the hamster for good this weekend, but now she's refusing because the hamster is dirty.

Ugh. And the damn dog, as much as I love her, wont leave me alone for more than two seconds so I can't really get any work done. She's so adorable though, which makes it okay. I mean, look at her face.

I'm just ready to get out of here again, is all. Home always drives me crazy, though it's not really home anymore. I've been a drifter for the past five years, this is just another stop in the journey.  Moving to Brooklyn will give me my first space to call my own in so long. It's rather silly, I'm so excited to buy tea towels, and a bureau. Some new store opened on 8th Street dedicated solely to kitchen items and every time I pass by, I think about baking cookies in an oven that is mine, in a kitchen that is mine, using sheets that are mine.
