psst...we found an apartment.
Yes, we're moving down to Sunnyvale...and it only took a freeway accident and a falling ceiling for me to get the message. The Holy Spirit rolls its non-corporeal eyes at my thickness sometimes.
I'm about to get kind of woo-woo here, so feel free to skip this part. But, seriously, everything that has happened starting with the accident just feels like something clicking into place. The accident kept me from going all ninja painter on the bathroom last weekend, which meant that there wasn't another project in process when the ceiling fell. The ceiling falling broke the inertia of living in the love shack, and the accident pretty much ended my love affair with my commute. So I threw out an email to someone @ St. Ned's who owns rental property. Who happens to have a unit coming vacant which happens to be a one-bedroom in our price range where we could bring the kitty.
It's a great place; I think it's a bit smaller than the love shack, but it's got a dishwasher and a laundry room, which are both major upgrades for us. It also has a little fenced-in patio area by the front door, and big closets and lots of storage. I have mentally claimed half the linen closet for my fabric and yarn stash, but I suspect that may need to be negotiated with Dennis. It's about ten minutes away from work, which is a lot better than an hour-plus. SassyPriest will be our next door neighbor; I think we should just declare the building an outpost of St. Ned's and work there. In our pajamas.
My friend Cristopher got ordained today at St. Ned's. The bishop thought it was at 1:00, but it was at 11:00, so there was a little drama around finding the bishop. I wondered if there was an Amber Alert equivalent for stray clergy...Have You Seen This Bishop? But he got there and it was a wonderful service. We were all invited to wear red; clergy usually wear red stoles (the color of the Holy Spirit) for ordinations, but Cristopher wanted to include everyone. We do the 'wear red' thing for Pentecost every year, and I was surprised to see how much more festive it made everything seem. Note to self for possible future ordination. But that's a whole other working of the Holy Spirit in my life which is a much, much longer blog entry.
