My little home

I am writing this post from my brand new apartment! My computer positioned by the window looking out unto the street, the pretty Fall trees, the random people walking their dogs, a jogger now and then, hardly a car in sight. It's so quiet here. So, so quiet. I feel relaxed, at peace. I don't suddenly hear footsteps above me 'oh, mom and dad are home'! Don't suddenly smell — what is that Curry? — coming from next door. I hear nothing, other than my fingers hitting the keys and smell nothing, other than the cup of coffee sitting in front of me.
