confession: i cried when we moved J out of his little place in williamsburg. he comforted me by saying "i would be crying too if i wasn't so stressed about getting all this crap out of here!" (which ended up being true, as i didn't shed one tear as i lugged my whole life from harlem to penn station before i got on a train to DC) but his words didn't really help at the time. i loved that little space, and the more and more i think about it, the more and more i realize that i will probably not be able to afford such a prime location in the near future. i was literally reading a blog yesterday about new york city real estate and the section on williamsburg had a big "L-O-L" typed next to it, because attempting to find affordable housing in that neighborhood is laughable.
this week in DC, we had two days of really cool weather. there was a certain nip in the air that was previoulsy absent, a small chill that required an extra light layer. sorry florida, but i'm so thankful that i still live in a city that has seasons - as if how much i miss new york wasn't already a thing, the absence of seasons the next few months would really be a slap in the face. cannot wait for sweater weather and apple cider donuts and all the other things that this season brings.
