Sharing with Gerald
Gerald is the frog that was hopping across the floor of my apartment to tell me howdy. This is the apartment that I share with him:
This is Aslan. I fingerpainted him. The door with the umbrella is the entrance. I am on the first floor of what seems a bit cave-like. So no plants:(. Also no couch. This is the bed disguised as a couch, with my computer, Pete, playing music (you will have to imagine the music). You can just see the table.
Continuing around, the table with the teapot on it. I haven’t named the teapot yet. It sits there to remind me to drink more tea. It isn’t very successful. Lotsa pictures, and then the three rooms: 1st one is mine, 2nd one is currently all the donations people are giving me for Living Stones, and 3rd is in solemn mourning for Emily. Perhaps I will be getting a roomie (besides Gerald) in April.
My room. This is my creative wall. The other wall is the wardrobe (non-Narnian) with books overloading the top, the other wall is my bed, and the other wall is a trunk of English teacher supplies.
Back in the living room I am adding picture frames and such. The problem is attaching anything to concrete walls. Trunks of art supplies and games for Living Stones, and doorway to the kitchen.
Off the kitchen is the bathroom. Notice everything is tile. This means to clean (and in Brazil, you basically have to sweep every day. or every other day-ish, and wash your feet) you just throw water everywhere and have a big slip and slide. No bathtub. Only one knob as well. What comes out is what you get.
Off the kitchen is a washroom for washing and hanging up clothes, and the kitchen is big enough for two, if careful. I am really happy with this place–it is such a blessing. Hope this gives you a general idea.
