Home is a Four Letter Word

So the building manager of the new apartment called.
Aherm.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that as of this time,
WE GOT THE PLACE!

Can I get a woop! woop!

I was so psyched. I'm still psyched. I've prearranged all of my furniture on a bmp. map of the place. I absolutely can't wait. It's going to be so new and different and absolutely the most magical experience of all time. I'm so excited, my first real home. I could just squeal at the thought, I'm going to put up original pieces on the walls, and use every single cupboard in the kitchen. And take a nap whenever I want, wherever I want! And never get vomit on my towels again! Yayay!

Things work out. They do. They absolutely do. And God's got it all worked out, see? See, he's got a guy on the inside, see? And them's workin' out the passcodes and the electric so they can weasel their way into the joint, ya got that? Transfer all the funds, vis a vis, to me, aka, my bank account, via I can spend it all on blessings, that's how it's gonna roll this time 'round.

Oh joy, oh rapture.
I am homeless no longer! I've got a home, and a little half-family, and hopes and dreams again! Ambition, and momentary silence, and bliss.

Lesson of the day: Try not to multitask so much. As humans, we feel like we need to make the absolute most of every minute, so we listen to music and talk on the phone while we cook and catch up on the paper, but we really shouldn't. By doing so much, each thing loses any pleasurable value and we're left feeling empty. Instead, do one thing at a time. When you cook, cook! Taste test, use delicate precision when chopping. Savour the flavours and aromas. When you talk on the phone, revel in the moment of it. Ponder the words your friend is saying, and interact on a much more personal level! When you listen to music, rest in the awkward note transitions that reach down into your soul, feel your heart pound especially quickly when the song makes that big key change after the bridge into the Paul Simon African chamber choir interlude! In doing this, you can appreciate the moment to its absolute fullest.

And to add to your daily overall pleasure, try and do three little things each day that make you happy. Like, grab a quick cup of coffee with a friend, find a new song by an artist you like, take a short walk around the block, go to the drug store to ask about band-aids, or cough syrup, or cotton balls, or whatever you have to ask about in order to make conversation with the cute pharmacist, if only for a few moments. You'll find that at the end of your day, you'll feel much more fulfilled, grateful, and actually, have a better night's sleep and an immune system boost!

Be happy!
I sure am.
