We are staying with a friend right now, while our apt is being finished. I am so grateful to have a friend who lives nearby who selflessly is sharing her apt with us. Its cozy and warm and its like we are in college again, the 3 of us living together. We spend our mornings together watching the video she is editing of the actors she filmed (that's what she does for a living) and we spend our late nights chatting about films we love. Its like an artist's community we got going on here.
During the daytime we go to the apt to make sure everything is going as smoothly as possible. I admit, its not easy to see our home is such disarray when we are suppose to be living in it at this point. I have been wearing the same clothes for 3 days now. Even sleeping in them bc A) I dont know where my shit is B) its winter here anyway - so I'm not sweating and I'm usually covered in my winter coat. I know, I know. Its still gross. I'm borrowing clothes from our friend today to change into.
The landlord does seem he is trying to make good. He told us he would do "whatever we want to the apt and more." That makes me feel a lot better. When he showed up a couple of days ago to see what was going on, he looking genuinely shocked.
I'm just feeling grateful instead of angry today. I guess I just got too exhausted from being upset about all this. I've been going to yoga everyday too - which helps. I'm not really doing much acting wise. I cant right now. But I did find a place to sell my Fair Trade items yesterday - I have at least been taking my laptop to a nearby cafe so I can check in on the apt when I need to, then work on my Fair Trade biz in the cafe. I am REALLY excited about finding this place to sell - now I can start place orders and things like that.
Yesterday, we hung out in the city all day. Our friend we are staying with works from home so we dont want to be all up in her space anymore than we have to. I realized we were able to take in a lot more. We werent in a hurry bc we have no apt to rush home to right now!! It was a funny realization - watching all the people in the city wiz by us, while we were slowly walking around, taking things in. That was nice.
Isnt that something? In the midst of crisis - how everything slows down? It gets simple.
We are going over this morning to move all our belongings to the "dry" side of the floor, so the other half can be painted. Wish us luck!
