Into Our New Home

5-28-13

The sunrise in the east is so pretty over the mountains behind me here in the study, through the study window, through the enclosed patio windows. The study is very comfortable with the beautiful cedar furniture and the arrangement I made on the desk with everything I need to keep in touch with the world and express myself in writing.

Sweeney-Poo and Nala seem to be getting used to their new home rather well. They spent the first night here sleeping in our bedroom on our king sized bed but last night I told Leona to throw them out and fend for themselves in the house. Sweeney-Poo tried tapping on the bedroom door outside the study to the right but I stopped him immediately and shooed him away so he wouldn’t wake Leona up. They are still learning to navigate around this much larger apartment. For Sweeney-Poo, he has to get used to his own patio and no longer going to the roof garden of the Beverly. When we return from Brooklyn, Gxd willing, we will landscape the patio. For now, we will bring the plants from the Beverly balcony.

The enclosed patio is empty now except for the small JVC stereo I put out there in lieu of the twenty year old jukebox that dickhead Mr. Hung wouldn’t sell for under $2600us. Leona could have bought me the AC/DC pinball machine for $6000 for my 6oth birthday present but, in hindsight, the $7500 was much better spent on the furniture and interior decorating of our new condo. The extra money will be better used for trips to America and elsewhere. In hindsight, that asshole Hung saved us a lot of money, shithead that he is with a warehouse full of broken arcade machines.

The cats’ litter box and the clothes hanger are out there, too, along with a step ladder and a few cans of used paint. The enclosed patio is like a sauna now with air temperatures outside reaching 33^o c (91.4 f.) ; inside the patio it must be 36^o (96.8 f) or more. Nobody would want to sit out there during the day but the evening is okay.

The sun is rising in the east behind the massive twenty-two year old fifteen story condominium complex off Dong-Shan Road that Leona and I saw earlier the same day we were introduced to our lovely home in the Renoir in March.
