There's a place in my heart you may just see... 

that lacks the fear that's in all the rest of me.

    I awoke and went to work, only to find that my boss had not scheduled me for the day.  A freedom unearned but joyfully welcomed.  I drove my scooter....name of Babykin...

around the whole city, fresh with the air and the taste of life.  I stopped at the first place I'd ever lived in...sharing an apartmet with my friend Kate and her girlfriend.  It was here that I sat on the steps and tried not to                                                           smoke.

 

I lived with them for about 4 months.  I eventually moved into this apartment complex, overpriced as it was, because I didn't know any better.  I lived there for a year, until I knew better.  I spent many                                                           nights hanging out on                                                           the front                                                                               stoop...smoking. 

 

 A lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 But I spent most of my time here...

 At my favorite coffee shop. 

Three Friends

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Then I moved into a room in this house that a man named Josh lived in.  I'd met him at a potluck, and found out he had an extra room.  He liked me because I told a lot of jokes.  He and I lived with a few different roomates over the year I lived here.   I spent a lot of nights out back.  Smoking.  And drinking wine.

 

 

 A lot.

 

 

 

 

    Then I moved here...to the Rex-Arms.  I spent a year here, four months or so of which I lived with my friend Heidi.  Eight months of which I was a social worker, drowning in anxiety.

 

 

 

My apartment was...

 Up there.

 

 

 My anxiety was...

 In this head here.

 
 

 

 

 

     Now I live in an apartment that is not worthy of note.  I move home in two months, and there it is.  4 years and all I got was a coupla cool t-shirts.  :)  

Bye-Bye
