Settling in, falling into place.
Body at rest, mind still giving chase.
The space is looking livable, the place is nearing home.
Skin cooling, heels sighing in relief.
Boxes collapsed, related items gathered.
Everything has a home, even if only for now.
Breathing in, letting it go.
Enjoying the break, listening to stillness.
The day is at its end, the bed calls me sweetly.

Exciting times at The Astoria today! Alarm bells! Fire trucks! Confused and clueless residents in the fire lane! Too cold to gawk. Grab the evidence and seek shelter. Goof off and generally wait it out. No elevators?! Score a sweet curbside trash-treasure. Pack it away. Fetch the beer. Make the call. Get the mail. Get the email. No fire, no damage; a bad detector. Elevators restored! Get cracking. Go, go, go, and go some more. Organize, strategize, optimize. Enjoy.

I want to do it all! I wish for boundless energy; to sleep for pleasure rather than necessity. An insomniatic bliss of making and doing and being and feeling and living while the world is quiet. But my eyelids weigh down my vivid vision. My body betrays this dream state with its reality. I wind down, slow down, go down...
