Closing update – little has changed
since last week. Still waiting construction to conclude. While I remain optimistic,
I am discouraged by recent events. My Bed-Stuy sublet fell through as the
occupant is staying for the balance of the month. I am in full solution mode,
looking for short-term lease. This is the first I have felt stressed since
construction started nearly 16 months ago.

Ya-Ya retuned to a home that weathered both invited and
uninvited guests. Irene, crasher or promoter; depends who’s party you belong
to. Irene had little impact as the fifth floor Clinton St walk-up was just 2
blocks from Zone A. Her invited guest, proceeded to leave his mark of gratitude,
I think I am a good guest.
The cold recessed lighting was replaced with the nostalgic
warmth of bare Edison bulbs, type that takes you places that feel like familiar
upon introduction. Toogle and slide dimmers, some aided by the glowing throws
of ambient light. The place is feeling a bit cozier but inquires the need for green
to inform life. Routine’s only purpose is affording us the wherewithal to break
the rules. Quiet playfulness to
it, soft lines against intense lines against soft texture.
