Burning

[vaneramos]

Someone asked for photos of my new place, so I will give a tour gradually as the place pulls into order. First the bathroom with its old clawfoot tub. I finally hung curtains Sunday evening so now I can shower, but before that I did not mind the excuse to bathe every day.

I've been working on renovations at Les's house. Spent yesterday stripping stipple off the ceiling of his hall. It's tedious and exhausting. Les tends to putter around, work on his computer, run errands. Yesterday the heat and humidity started to get to me. By 2:30 my shoulders were burning from working over my head hour after hour and I had to knock off.

I came home, showered, and after a brief interlude, headed to my shift at Out On The Shelf. It was great to meet with Writers' Circle later and have eniastoa join us.

Today: more stipple, another room. I keep reminding myself I need this work badly.

I have a beautiful space cleared around my desk by the window and can't wait to spend time there writing.

Ah, work like that can seem so unending. Like I'll never get to the next portion. I will and you will but the process. Oh the process!

I'm so glad to read you are in a new place. To me it is very symbolic of where you've come from? How much work you've done and how damn honest you are.

You are an amazing man Van, Be well.

nice hint of bum also.... lol

I had no idea how much bad energy had been weighing on me at the old place. What a long time I put up with that! But I couldn't imagine finding anything better and still affordable, so I was stuck.

I'm so glad to move onto a new chapter. Here I feel new possibilities, even for my bum.

What a beautifully evocative shot.

Thanks, I like it: innocent, and not.

Hmm, modern toilet and antique bathtub in juxtaposition. Very nice.

And I'd say you could use a nearby towel rack.

Actually the bathroom is quite narrow, so the rack is within reach. In the process of jumping out, drying off, and checking the camera, I dropped the towel there. It wasn't quite the shot I wanted, but it's so haphazardly me, I decided to leave it alone.
