I have been living in Manhattan working as a caterer for some weeks now. I can see the Brooklyn bridge out my window and there is a fantastic cheese shop down the block from my apartment. I don't really mind being poor... I eat pretty much the same, good foods every day, and I am happy that I have a safe place to sleep and a job.

Things I have been doing
taking co-counseling classes
going cheese shopping
nestling with Anthony
cooking stir fry
watching people in Union Square

Here's my apartment window:
