Home.

I found a place. It's a pink house by Venables and Lillooet vaguely in the PNE sort of area. Not convvenient to transit. Has occasional smokers. Has only one bathroom.

Has washer-dryer. Has a garden. Has a big fishtank with a pleco the length of my forearm. Has three friendly gay men. Has a cat. Has hardwood flooring. My room is in a funny-shaped attic with high ceilings, it isn't huge. Has tons of storage. Has nice pictures on the walls and houseplants, like a huge bird-of-paradise. Has the feeling of somewhere permanent, of a home that's owned and loved. Has me, now.

This is kill-the-flowers day. So many people are carrying around the budding, just-fertile severed reproductive organs of plants. Can I carry a puppy's uterus around?

...didn't think so.

This is, incidentally, eight years and two weeks after I started dating Kynnin.

Piano music is playing right now. I miss my boy rats. I feel love.

Went to the Chinese New Years parade with my brother, his girlfriend, and Chris. It was very nice- we spent all day at the parade, at a restaurant afterwards, running out for bubble tea, and then watching a spectacular Korean movie called Sword in the Moon.

Trevor cancelled on me today, so I didn't go see Taiko drumming. I'm relieved. It means I found my place, and I can sleep and relax and stuff. It's been a long run.

Chris is on reading break this week. Gods, a week off! Amazing.

Lots of work lately, which is good given that it's moving month. I may even be able to do this without asking for help from mom.

I miss my boy rats.

I miss my home that isn't mine yet, though I have keys. I want very very badly to sleep there beneath that ceiling with my babies.

Tonight, I will sleep like a rock.

Tomorrow, I don't need to do anything! Except go home, chat with the boy rats, and be in the sunshine if there is sunshine. Despite the snow last night, it was a lovely day, though I worked for most of it.

I love the fact that I can work with the doors and windows open. Sunshine and fresh air.

I love you. Sleep well, and wake happy.

Congrats on the place to live!

To me, one of the most important things to find... is a place that you can call 'home'. A place that makes you feel safe both physically and emotionally. Sheltered from the elements, and also a place where you can retreat to if the weight of the world begins getting too great to handle. It's hard to find a place like that, and so much harder to make those home feelings last. For me, it's beem the main thing I've struggled with these past few years, so I've gotten to know the problem well. I'm so happy that you are able to find a place to call home, and that you'll be enjoying it.

Enjoy your rest. :)
