Rosy sunset

[auntiemeesh]

One of the best things about my apartment is the big windows in the front room. My apartment overlooks a little park with a street beyone that and the distant view of a tree covered hill, behind which are some of the most gorgeous sunsets I've seen in years. It's really been a long time since I've lived in a place where I can see the sunset just by turning my head a little to the left of my computer screen. Tonight's version is a deep purply-orange color, with just enough clouds to spread that color across half the sky. Really, sincerely beautiful. I love watching it go from lavender to orange and then slowly fade away to darkness as the streetlights come on.

I'm missing comics tonight because I've been feeling a bit dicey again today - probably should have held off on the glazed scone and caffe mocha from Starbucks, but mm, it was yummy. However, I have fic to read, some SGA stuff mulling around in my head to write, and X-Men III to watch on DVD if I should feel like it. It's all good. *grins*

Thanks for sharing the virtual sunset - it sounds lovely! I'm glad that you enjoyed the scone and caffe mocha. I hope that you feel better soon.

I love my apartment, but it doesn't have *any* view. How wonderful you can see all that loveliness!

I'm pretty much better. I just have to be careful what I eat for a few days. Plus, the stomach bug seems to have activated my anti-milk thing and that was what was bugging me more than anything today, I think. So no more lattes for a while and I should be good to go. :D

I've had a lot of different 'views' from my various apartments, but this is the first place I've lived in possibly fifteen years where I can see the sunset. It will be the only thing I miss when I move out.

Mmm, sounds beautiful! I had a gorgeous sunset to keep me company when I drove up to Plymouth on the 23rd, and another one this evening as I was coming home from another trip to Plymouth. I might miss the beautiful sunsets, but I will not miss those weekly drives!

When is the move going to take place? I heard a rumor to the effect that DB is planning to stay at Dad's until he gets a job and his own apartment. Is that still the plan?

[westwindschild.livejournal.com]

No, that was not the plan. The idea was that DB could stay at Dad's over Christmas while Dad was away. But DB's fever kept him from coming down over Christmas, so that didn't happen. DB has been making such amazing strides forward, and I've been praying that he wouldn't find that he couldn't go through with it at the last moment. When his car died on the 26th, he decided that he'd rather just stay in Plymouth; for a day or 2 it looked like my worst fears were going to come true, but after offering him several alternatives that were even scarier than moving to his own apartment 100 miles from Plymouth but close to me, he found the courage to press forward again. We came up with a plan that works around his agoraphobia to the greatest extent possible - I will bring him down for day-long job hunting trips every Monday in January. If nothing turns up by the 20th of January, he'll have to intensify the search, but for now that's the plan. His apartment will be available on Feb 1, not Jan 15 as originally expected, so there is a bit more time to work with than we thought. Please keep a positive thought for his success!

I'll think lots of good thoughts for him.
