miko2It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere, I'm all alone, more or less...
Well anyway it's cold and I'm alone in my warm apartment. My apartment isn't actually all that warm -- I keep the thermostat at between 60 and 70 in the livingroom and the bedroom, and I keep the one in the study turned off. But it feels very very warm when I first walk in from the cold.
Daniel Amos has a song called Sanctuary, and I was thinking of it tonight, because of the cold, and the warmth of my apartment. My sanctuary is probably pretty messy to some -- one of the people that came to take my boxes last Saturday said something about how I had a lot of unpacking/putting away work left to do -- but to me it's already pretty tidy. It's much tidier than my old apartment was, and much tidier than it was just after I'd moved in. I keep doing the dishes and doing laundry and trying to straighten up and organize better, so I think I'm doing okay so far. ^_^
My sanctuary has a nice television that I rarely watch, but has a dvd player that I use a lot. It has a nice couch with two comforters and a pillow so I can lay down and watch anime or movies. It has a cookie jar with cookies in it in case I want one. It has a cake that I made last night, because I'm trying to cook a lot more, partly because I don't have a microwave oven yet, and partly because I want to save money and not eat out as much. Only the cake I made last night called for three eggs, and I only had two, so I added extra vegetable oil, and... well, it's okay, but I'm sure it would have been better if I'd made it the riht way.
My sanctuary has a warm bed and a radio alarm clock to wake me up. It has computers and a working network and internet service, for which I just found out I owe $154.00, $99.00 of which was for installation. This despite the last statement that I got in the mail from them saying that I had a -45.00 credit. Hrmm.
My sancutary has two bathrooms, both of which I use because sometimes one is closer than the other. It has two showers, which have matching shower curtains, but of course I only use one of them.
My sanctuary has bookshelves with books and cd shelves with cds, and dvd shelves with dvds, and I still have more books to put somewhere. I have a closet full of comics and lp records and cassette tapes that I probably need to get rid of.
I have a warm jacket but after arriving to work or arriving home, my fingers are always cold. Generally I don't wear gloves, even though I have a pair. They're in the glove compartment in my car -- where else would they be? This way I always know where they are, and they're always really cold so that I don't want to actually wear them.
