these five rooms

living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom--and the five just like them on the other side of the house, are now mine -- today was closing day.

(rooms one and two)


It was stressful and strange and last minute.
I didn't know until an hour before how much money I needed to bring with me. Luckily I had that much-- with a few dollars left over

The first thing I signed said "Nora Spitznogle, unmarried woman"
Was that necessary, really?




My landlords were incredibly generous and kind -- and took me out for a beer afterward.



Chez Pez


The whole thing drained me -- I lost my voice and am exhausted.
I went to a swanky party and was too tired to stay.



I couldn't resist a self-timed photograph pointing to MY house.
I'm off to curl up in the fetal position under my covers.
In MY bedroom!

Way to go, Nora! You are officially an adult now. Or at least that's how I felt when I bought my first home.

Congratulations!
